The local radio news was also reporting that a group of sexual abuse victims, represented by the same lawyers in the Boston cases, are bringing allegations against the Archdiocese of Washington and are “demanding” to meet with Theodore Cardinal McCarrick.
I haven’t been able to find confirmation of this yet. I will be curious, if it is true, as to what they expect (well, besides lots and lots of money, of course.) I was under the impression that Cardinal Hickey cleaned house several years ago, and I know there was a system for reporting allegations of abuse well before the Geoghan case broke. (WaPo; marketing questions) But then, what could ever make up for the harm done to the victims? And what could ever satisfy the greed of the lawyers and the false accusers, and the desire of the professionally aggrieved for the spotlight?
