A group of some 15,000 lay Catholic women signed an open letter to Pope Francis on August 30, demanding that he answer the questions raised by the recent allegations in the letter from former Vatican U.S. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the National Catholic Register website reports today (August 31, 2018).
The women are seeking answers to the questions raised in Vigano's recent letter, which accused Pope Francis and other members of the Church hierarchy of covering up sexual abuse allegations against former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick.
Pope Francis has already told journalists that he "will not say a single word on this," indicating that he probably did cover up McCarrick's abuse.
"To your hurting flock, Pope Francis, your words are inadequate," the women wrote in the letter, addressing the pope's response. "We need leadership, truth, and transparency. We, your flock, deserve your answers now."
