“In any case, the pope learned about it from me on June 23, 2013 and continued to cover for him,” Vigano said. “He did not take into account the sanctions that Pope Benedict had imposed on him and made him his trusted counselor along with Maradiaga.”

Vigano called on Francis and all of the senior prelates who allegedly covered up McCarrick’s abuses to resign.

“I read the statement this morning, and I must tell you sincerely … All those who are interested: Read the statement carefully and make your own judgment,” Francis said. “I will not say a single word on this.”
