KIKO AND McCARRICK: BUDDIES

 By Tim Rohr

The first RMS (in the U.S.) was established under McCarrick. It's also where he ran to once his filthy life was outed. 





March 2006: McCarrick asks Monsignor Robert Sheeran, president of Seton Hall University, about residing part time in an on-campus residence for priests, close to the seminary. Archbishop Myers tells Sheeran he strongly opposes the move. McCarrick arranges to live part time at the Redemptoris Mater seminary in Hyattsville, Maryland.

December 2007: Sambi meets with McCarrick to discuss his move out of the Redemptoris Mater seminary and the request that he live a quiet life of prayer. An emotional McCarrick tells Sambi that because Priest 1 was 25 at the time of the allegations, what had happened was not a crime, and that his continued pursuit of the allegations seemed to be a grab for money.

January 2007: Sambi reports his meeting with McCarrick to Re and adds that he looked into whether the leaders of Redemptoris Mater seminary considered McCarrick an active threat. Seminary leaders say McCarrick was “touchy” but they did not consider him to be a threat.

2007-2008: McCarrick maintains residence at Redemptoris Mater Seminary in Hyattsville, Maryland, during this time, where he lives in his own wing.

Early 2009: McCarrick moves to St. Thomas the Apostle Parish in Washington, D.C., as arranged by Wuerl. According to the report, McCarrick still maintains an office at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary “and travels there frequently for work.”

July 14, 2014: After a brief conversation with Parolin, Ouellet writes a letter to the Secretary of State about the restrictions given against McCarrick, including that he move out of Redemptoris Mater seminary and that he live a private life of prayer and not accept invitations in the U.S. or abroad.

  2. Obviously, these are despicable allusions that contain no "guilt" on the part of the Neocatechumenal Way, especially since McCarrick's vices were not public knowledge. But now that I think about it, there are 134 or 135 Redemptoris Mater seminaries in the world. The first was opened by Saint John Paul II in his diocese (Rome), and today a third of all the virtues of Rome come from Redemptoris Mater. Are you saying that even Karol Wojtyla had problems? Do you or Deacon Martinez know more than him or Pope Francis, who helped and DEFENDED the Neocatechumenal Way?

    1. The record shows that Kiko took care of McCarrick AFTER he was outed. That's why McCarrick ran to the RMS. He was safe there.

      Yes, JP2 had problems, big ones. He protected and promoted a many even worse that McCarrick, Maciel and his Legionnaires. He did it unknowingly, but he still did it.

  3. The Neo also shielded Apuron, another infamous abuser like McCarrick.
