I have never been so disgusted in my life as to see what has happened following the McCarrick scandal. Whuerl and Cupich were both well known as McCarrick allies and it's their ideas for investigating that won out. Rome shut down any actual reform. The whole situation with the money and influence was never seriously questioned or investigated. Farrell has seen his career unaccountably rise when he should be disgraced. I assume either to keep him quiet or because Rome has enough dirt on him to be able to manipulate him.

We know for a fact that McCarrick had some kind of network bought through his fundraising and influence and this has never been discussed with any seriousness by the bishop's. The whole thing is beyond disgraceful and it would be a very stupid man who would trust the bishop's on any matter at this point. They have entirely lost any credibility to lead and guide the Church.

The problem with Vox Estis and all other "solutions" is that they are "system" solutions to a "people" problem. The problem isn't primarily a bad system: the problem is bad people.
