"Cardinal Wuerl was never informed of any action taken by the Holy See, was never provided documentation of any kind. If the claim is that Cardinal Wuerl was made aware of this so-called suspension, he was never made aware of that," McFadden said. He repeated Wuerl's previous statements that the cardinal didn't know of allegations against McCarrick, nor of the two legal settlements by adult accusers that came out this summer. "No, never. He knew nothing until the formal announcement [this summer] that a substantiated claim had been made."
