I find it fascinating that Americans get very upset when the Pope makes a statement that applies to America's political situation ("separate Church and state!"), but consider themselves fully authorized to tell the Pope how to handle events in the Catholic Church.
American outrage over the abuse problem is especially ironic, given that those same Americans chose to make their last two top presidential candidates a choice between a woman who viciously covered up her husband's rapes vs a man credibly accused of rape by his own wife and thrilled to be endorsed by the convicted rapist, Mike Tyson.
Remarkably enough, even as they pontificate to the Pope about how to handle sexual abuse, most Americans still defend their chosen rape perpetrators as excellent choices to rule over them.
It's almost like Americans are hypocrites.
Imagine that.
Update:
Hey, look, yet another newspaper points out that Vigano is a damned liar.

It's not "another newspaper -- you've already linked to La Stampa's desperate attacks on Archbishop Vigano and his sworn testimony. Catholics have long been aware of La Stampa's modernistic tendencies.
"It's almost like Americans are hypocrites."
True, but irrelevant to the case at hand. It doesn't tell us anything about whether or not Vigano's statements about McCarrick are true.
From Hilary White:
"Months after what 'everybody knew' is now officially known by everybody, Theodore McCarrick the career homosexual rapist is still an archbishop, still a priest 'in good standing' and has issued no statement even vaguely expressing regret. Quite the opposite.
"Why, @Pontifex?"
Further confirmation of Archbishop Vigano's sworn testimony -- an article from liberal Catholic website Crux that confirms Vigano's central claim:
