In an explosive August 2018 document, Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ² implicated many Catholic bishops - and Pope Francis himself - in a decades-long cover-up of the sexual crimes of the now-disgraced serial predator, former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, long the most powerful figure in the American Church.
Shocking faithful Catholics worldwide, Pope Francis refused to deny the accusations that Archbishop ViganĂ² made against him in that ten-page document.
Stunned himself, Marco Tosatti, the Italian journalist who first broke the story of the cover-up, here recounts the whole sordid tale. In this alarming report, you will learn of McCarrick's long-time abuses of seminarians and young priests, his inexplicable promotions to the highest ranks in the Church (despite widespread knowledge of his crimes), and the scandalous cover-up that has traumatized the Catholic world and continues to this day.
