pope about is the formal investigation into mccarrick. and he abused semenaria ne arka years. that implicated the pope and vatican which has not responded. the bishops want to talk about the stream line process for reporting bishops accused of cover-up to the vatican. what happens with the investigation and how there will be a penalty or justice for them is considered. one test case is the archbishop wuerl who says he is coming to offer resignation to pope francis. wuerl has been at the center of the outrage for allegations he mishandled sexual abuse cases and how those allegations the cardinal denies, but he will still offer resignation. how that case is handled will set the tone for the vatican

abuse by priests and over this man, cardinal theodore mccarrick who rose as arc bishop of washington. the pope insists abuse is a horrendous crime. >> because of that, pope francis realizes that the very credibility of the church depends on rooting it out. >> u.s. bishops say allegations that the pope helped cover up abuse deserve an answer. >> i think many catholics, many faithful in the u.s. and beyond are looking for some answers. it doesn't necessarily have to come from the pope's mouth. >> reporter: and soon, cardinal donald wuerl of washington will meet the pope to discuss his resignation. the pope now calling on bishops around the world to meet in rome in february for an unprecedented summit on sexual abuse. >> it's a question of utmost importance not only in countries where it's exploded but all around the globe. >> reporter: the crisis is global and growing, a church report from germany details

so is pope benedict to be implicated then on not following through on mccarrick?pope francis? so it extends beyond what did pope francis know? pope francis certainly when he found out about child abuse, allegations of child abuse against cardinal mccarrick from the archdioceses of new york who sent the report to rome, mccarrick was immediately removed from doing any public ministry and was stripped of his title as cardinal. in regard to the other allegations he said he said to them, those were concepts from seminaries and priests. still, though, we're waiting to hear from pope francis what did he know and when. and many including editorials in this country believe that pope france should speak publicly ability that time frame. >> yes, and catholics across the globe don't think the response has been good enough to this point. is this a watershed for pope francis, his greatest challenge perhaps? >> rosemary, i think this is his greatest crisis in the last century of the global catholic church. so it certainly is a watershed moment for pope francis. how he handsels t

if it's just that people knew about mccarrick, he was put under some modest sanction by benedict andh attention to it, then i think he should simply apologize, fire a bunch of people and his papacy can continue. i think the fact that he's refused to answer questions and sort of taken a kind of stonewalling and counteraccusatory approach raises the question of what's really in all of those files that may not come out in the next six months, but, you know, as we know from the trump era in our own politics, leaks tend to happen over time when scandal is involved. >> and where do you think the church is going? because your book is, in a sense, cautionary. you're not the biggest fan of pope francis. you think that he is too liberal and making the church lose sight of what it stands for. >> i think there's a danger in francis' liberalization that it loses touch -- the church needs to change, but some changes compromise core christian ideas and teachings. but my, you know, when i wrote the book, i ended in bafflement and uncertainty about where the church goes next. and this return of the s

cardinal mccarrick, cardinal wuerl. do you agree with that? cardinal wuerl is accused of having known about the abuse will meet the pope to offer his resignation. should he be resigning? >> well, i got to be personal. he is a good friend and he is a tremendous leader among the bishops. i hope i doesn't resign. >> really? >> we need him for reform. even not taking away the fact that you just said. i trust him enough that if he thinks that he needs to resign for the good of the church, he will. and i would respect that decision. >> you say it more in sorrow that in anger. are you not angry that cardinal wuerl kept this under lock and key. >> if i read it right, he had a very good record of being aggressive against abuse. >> he was alleged to have known about the abuse. >> this one case. i am afraid he may be being judged on pre dallas standards. the fact does remain that after the reformed of dallas in 2002, apparently this priest remained. he apologized for that. it does make me anger. >> a report from germany out today, nearly 3,000 abuse case

, accused the pope of ignoring warnings about sexual misconduct against former cardinal theodore mccarricknow he is saying the pope and his aides light lied about what happened and held a private meal meeting with kim davis, the kentucky county clerk. that meeting was not made public until francis was back in rome and once it was that came from davis and her lawyer. there was a scramble on in the american press to figure out how that happened. basically, the pope's aides suggested there was his doing and they didn't know who this was. viagno is saying he supplied the pope with a one page memo who davis was and why he should meet with her and gave the same briefing to two of the pope's top aides. his point is they were fully informed. i suspect when and if the vatican ever comments about this what they are likely to saying, it may be true that vigano passed on a memo to the pope but they were relying on him to provide the context how was this going to be seen in the united states and probably suggest he dropped the ball on that a bit. >> real quickly. vinago, any chance he wants retribution

someone who wants the church to change and his abusers who have said that cardinal mccarrick was knownbe a predator in the vatican are conservatives so this is being read through the lens of liberal conservative battles in the church as well as the sex abuse crisis. >> would it be fair to say that you have conservative critics of francis who are taking this opportunity to weaken a liberal pope? >> yes, it would be fair to say that but that doesn't get us to the heart of the question which is what francis knew and when he knew it. >> i guess what i mean is these guys reason is on the side of inaction and covering up in the past. >> that part is a misapprehensi misapprehension. the sex abuse crisis has cut across liberals and conservatives in the church. you have these two competing theories of what went wrong. one theory is the is the church should let men get married and do away with celibacy, the other theory is a laxness, a kind of moral laxness led to this climate in seminaries and among and those two people who hold those views can agree on the protection of children. the reality i
