Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI ignored sex abuse allegations against Theodore McCarrick

Vatican City, November 12 (RHC)-- An unprecedented internal investigation launched by the Vatican has found that Pope John Paul II and Benedict XVI knew about and ignored allegations of sexual abuse against Theodore McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, DC.

The over 400-page report points to the Catholic Church’s systemic failure in handling sexual misconduct accusations, which in the case of McCarrick led to his rise in the church for decades. 
McCarrick was defrocked from the Vatican last year after a church trial found him guilty of sexually abusing minors.
