To the surprise of many Catholic commentators, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York has emerged as a leading voice in the calls for a full Vatican inquiry into the decades-long cover-up of Theodore McCarrick’s sexual misconduct. A consummate insider well regarded by three consecutive popes, Dolan has nevertheless told the press that he is growing “impatient” waiting for an apostolic visitation – that is, a formal investigation ordered by the Pope. For that reason, he has appointed a former federal judge, Barbara Jones, to review his archdiocese’s protocols relating to sexual abuse.
