Bishop Steven Lopes, the ordinary of the US ordinariate, has said he doesn't believe his fellow-bishops who profess ignorance of Archbishop Theodore McCarrick's wrongdoing.
In a homily delivered on Sunday 19 August, Bishop Lopes said that one kind of response to the McCarrick revelations was "not good enough. It’s the parade of cardinals and bishops who have rushed to the television cameras, clutching their pectoral crosses, saying, ‘I knew nothing.’
"I don’t believe it, and I am one of them."
Bishop Lopes said that "as one of the youngest bishops in the conference, you do get an interesting perspective".
