‘[T]he victim said [former Cardinal Theodore] McCarrick allegedly pulled him aside and told him, “Your dad wants you to come with me and have a talk. You’re being mischievous at home and not attending church. We need to go outside and have a conversation,” according to the complaint. The victim told investigators McCarrick told the victim to take down his pants and then held and “kissed” his genitalia, “saying prayers to make me feel holy,” according to the complaint. After telling him to pull up his pants, McCarrick allegedly told the boy to say certain prayers “so God can redeem you of your sins.”‘

Defrocked and living in St Louis, McCarrick now faces a criminal charge.

Fond memories of the man here.
