Apparently Washington’s Cardinal

McCarrick convened a secret meeting of top lay and clerical Catholics

recently, to discuss the sex-abuse situation and the future of the Catholic

Church. It was supposed to be a listening session for the bishops. Read this Boston Globe account, and see if you can spot a single name of a cleric or

layperson known for defending orthodox Catholic teaching on controversial

matters (e.g., women’s ordination, the celibate priesthood, contraception,

homosexuality).
