Summary
What does one do when the Pope is accused of being associated with covering up abuse in the Church? On one hand, one must avoid rash judgment and jumping to conclusions. At the same time, Cardinal DiNardo (president of the US Bishop’s Conference) calls for a “thorough examination” of the questions surrounding Archbishop McCarrick. DiNarco wrote: “The questions raised deserve answers that are conclusive and based on evidence. Without those answers, innocent men may be tainted by false accusation and the guilty may be left to repeat sins of the past.”
The Church needs heroes who will pursue the truth, wherever it leads. The Church needs heroic saints to guide us through this crisis. Will you do the heroic in your life?

| 0:19.1 | Hi and welcome back to the show. Here we are another week goes by and yet another |
| 0:24.0 | major news item comes related to the church scandals I was at a soccer match |
| 0:30.4 | here in Denver Colorado when I first found found out this very distressing news about a former |
| 0:35.8 | nuncio here to the United States accusing our own Holy Father Pope Francis of knowing |
| 0:41.9 | about a lot of the abuse surrounding Cardinal |
| 0:46.0 | McCarick and I was I normally wouldn't be checking the news while I'm watching an |

| 0:55.3 | but it was a pathetic game. |
| 0:58.3 | In the first, like 10 minutes, there was one red card and then a few minutes later in the first half there was another red card against our team. I don't know if you know about |
| 1:05.6 | soccer, but a red card is when you have a serious penalty and the person is |
| 1:09.0 | ejected from the game and you can't replace them. So normally you play with 11 men and in the first |
| 1:14.1 | half the end of the first half we were down to nine men so there's no chance |
| 1:17.5 | we're gonna win this game and the game's incredibly boring the other team |

| 1:24.0 | get utterly defeated and so I start to unplug a little bit from watching the game |
| 1:29.0 | and then I got a text message from one of my friends who says Ted you got to read this right away and that's when I first heard the news. |
| 1:37.0 | And it was just a whole other level of just |
| 1:45.0 | a complete shock and frustration and praying that this isn't true |
| 1:49.0 | and begging for God's mercy upon the church. |
| 1:52.0 | But you know, in terms of like how do we respond now with |
