(LifeSiteNews) — According to an expert hired by the prosecution, disgraced former cardinal Theodore McCarrick is not competent to stand trial for sexually abusing a young teenage boy in 1974, raising doubts that the 92-year-old will ever be held accountable for the homosexual pederast assault.
The charges against McCarrick — who served as Archbishop of Washington, D.C. from 2001 to 2006 and who enjoyed a high profile in the Catholic Church and easy access to the Vatican — include three counts of indecent battery and assault on a person age 16.
The judge in the case is expected to make a decision about McCarrick’s competency and the fate of the criminal trial at an upcoming August 30 hearing.
While the findings of the expert for the state of Massachusetts have not been made public, those of an expert hired by the defense earlier this year reached ostensibly the same conclusion.
Liberal bishops around the world continue promoting heterodox views on homosexuality, female priests, divorce, contraception, and more — advancing anti-Catholic positions that jeopardize the salvation of souls.
Such bishops often sideline, ignore and even persecute traditional Catholics who simply ask that the Faith be preserved and passed on to their children.
But traditional Catholics cannot be silenced any longer, which is why we are uniting in this international boycott of modernist bishops and dioceses until the deposit of Faith is upheld by the hierarchy again.
SIGN: We will not fund modernist bishops or priests who undermine the Catholic Faith, but rather direct our contributions towards faithful clergy and orders that work for the salvation of souls.
There are countless examples of bishops working against Christ’s Church in calling for divine law to be ignored in favor of sexual, doctrinal and liturgical deviancy, even trying to clamp down on Catholics who practise the Faith.
Just last year, Cardinal Cupich banned traditional prayers after Mass, and more recently has curtailed the Traditional Latin Mass in his diocese.

The attack on the Faith is out in the open, with modernist bishops causing scandal in countless ways:
We have seen enough. Now is the time to show true Catholic unity against those who undermine the Faith – do not be bullied into submission by these men who would disfigure Christ’s Church.
JOIN THE BOYCOTT & SHARE! Tell everyone you know to STOP giving money to bishops who attack the Catholic Faith.
“We therefore commit to a financial boycott of modernist bishops until the hierarchy resolves to uphold the entire deposit of Faith.”
If the bishops refuse to uphold and protect the teaching of Christ’s Bride, the Catholic Church, then we must refuse to support them until they repent.
Thank you
P.S. — Demanding that liberal bishops be held to account through financial boycott will help save the Church from doctrinal and pastoral ruin. This is the first step in restoring the Faith for future generations. Our time is now, so please join us by signing today!

In February, McCarrick’s attorneys requested that the case be dismissed because of their client’s “significant” and “worsening” dementia.
“While [McCarrick] has a limited understanding of the criminal proceedings against him, his progressive and irreparable cognitive deficits render him unable to meaningfully consult with counsel or to effectively assist in his own defense,” his attorneys argued, per the Associated Press.
In recent years, 14 minors and at least eight adult clergy and seminarians have come forward to accuse McCarrick of sexual misconduct, according to BishopAccountability.org.
In April, McCarrick was charged in Wisconsin with sexually assaulting an 18-year-old boy at a lakeside cabin in the southeastern region of the state in 1977. According to Associated Press, the alleged victim told investigators that McCarrick had been sexually abusing him since he was 11 years old. He also alleged that McCarrick took him to parties where other men sexually assaulted him.
McCarrick has always denied all sex-abuse allegations against him.
Defrocked in 2019, McCarrick now lives in Missouri.
