By Gene Thomas Gomulka, Complicit Clergy - Three U.S. cardinals are soon expected to retire, all of whom have been accused of covering up for both predator priests and priests reported for engaging in sexual misconduct. The cardinals, New York’s Timothy Dolan, Chicago’s Blase Cupich, and Washington, D.C.’s Wilton Gregory; in addition to being accused of failing to discipline predators and sexually active priests, are also accused of unjustly punishing whistleblower priests and seminarians who have reported predatory behavior, sexual misconduct, and episcopal cover-ups.
