Cardinal Donald Wuerl did not know until recently about settlements made by two dioceses in response to misconduct allegations against former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, according to the Archdiocese of Washington.
Mgr Charles Antonicelli, Vicar General of Washington, wrote to priests in the archdiocese, saying: "Neither the Archdiocese of Washington nor Cardinal Wuerl knew about these confidential settlements until this most recent credible and substantiated allegation against Cardinal McCarrick was made public."
