litany of corups, complicity and errors, not just by individuals, but the entire culture of the catholic churcht allowed rdinal mccarrick to rise to top-notch lawns of the church -- top at salons -- top echelons of the church despite decades of allegations of abuse. john paul the second is said in the report to have been warned and told of mccarrick's crimes, yet chose to believe three american ships to concealed character' is crimes instead and chose to believe mccarrick himself wrote a letter to pope john paul ii denying all the allegations agast him. moving to benedict 16th, as pope was also informed of mccarrick's crimes, also crimes against minors, but chose not to impose formal sanctions, simply asking him to lead a lower-profile life. and then with pope francis, who was inford of some previous allegations and then waited until 2017, when there was concrete proof, in the words of the report, of an allegation of a crime against a minor which was presented to pope francis, and pope francis took action. he ordered this report, he stripped mccarrick of the priesthood and forced him out of the

satisfactory to you, why do you possibly doubt that i represent a viewpoint which is hostile to the catholic church in the united states? i believe i'm stating the viewpoint. catholics in this country hold toward the happy relationship which exists between church and state. >> let me ask you, sir, do you say it with the approval of the vatican? >> i don't have to have approval in that sense.
