THE MCCARRICK REPORT HOLDS NO ONE ACCOUNTABLE
By Pieter Vree, New Oxford Review, May 2021
In November 2020 the Vatican released its long-anticipated “Report on the Holy See’s Institutional Knowledge and Decision-Making Related to Former Cardinal Theodore Edgar McCarrick.” It was immediately evident that something screwy was afoot. Consider the timing. Vatican insiders said the report had been completed some six months earlier and was gathering dust on Pope Francis’s desk through the spring, summer, and early fall. That prompted the
Los Angeles Times to ask, “What’s the Pope waiting for?” (July 27, 2020).

Sunday, 8 March 2020, can be seen as a symbolic line that separates the before and the after of a unique year in many respects.
It is the date when, for the first time, Pope Francis’ Angelus was streamed live from the Library of the Apostolic Palace. The lockdown imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic was imminent. It is a bit strange this Angelus prayer today, with the Pope caged in the Library, but I see you, I am close to you, the Pope said, as he linked up with the world. That event concluded with him looking out of the window to bless St. Peter s Square.

CNA Staff, Dec 12, 2020 / 01:15 am (CNA).- Hundreds of professors have signed an appeal defending St. John Paul II following criticism of the Polish pope in the wake of the McCarrick Report.
The “unprecedented” appeal was signed by 1,700 professors based at Polish universities and research institutes. The signatories include Hanna Suchocka, Poland’s first female prime minister, former foreign minister Adam Daniel Rotfeld, physicists Andrzej Staruszkiewicz and Krzysztof Meissner, and film director Krzysztof Zanussi.
“An impressive long list of John Paul II’s merits and accomplishments is being challenged and erased today,” the professors said in the appeal.
