Sean Cardinal O’Malley, facing accusations of ignoring a priest’s letter that warned him three years ago about an allegedly predatory fellow cardinal, yesterday issued a statement saying it was an oversight by his secretary.
Ex-Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, 88, was stripped of his title in June after the Vatican found sex abuse allegations against him to be credible.
“In June of 2015 Rev. Boniface Ramsey sent a letter that was received at my office at the Archdiocese of Boston’s Pastoral Center. Rev. Robert Kickham, my Priest Secretary, received the letter on my behalf, as he does much of the correspondence that comes to my office at the Pastoral Center,” O’Malley wrote in a statement released by the Archdiocese of Boston yesterday.
