In reply to Carl Moore. Your point is good. However, I don't think we belittled abused adult seminarians.

In reply to Carl Moore. That's because that's the best photo by far of McCarrick available on Wikimedia Commons -- photos that are available for use under a Creative Commons license.

Don’t belittle the abused adult seminarians. Remember references to, say, sexual harassment? There is deep concern over mixing sexual favors and work.

That’s the same picture that Wikipedia is using for McCarrick.

I would like someone to weigh in on the meaning of the last phrase in this “apology”- “I am sorry … for the scandal such charges cause our people.” Who are “our people”? The clergy who abused people? The whole Catholic clergy who have to deal with the charges? All Catholics? Is he lamenting that any charges were made in the first place, because that caused a scandal? It’s completely unclear, to the point of being meaningless or worse, obfuscatory or accusatory. Help!
