NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s a scandal that has shaken the faith of many Catholics — allegations of sexual abuse of minors and seminarians by former Newark Archbishop Theodore McCarrick . Now, a long-awaited Vatican report spells out how rumors of misconduct failed to stop his rise, all the way to the College of Cardinals, CBS2’s Tony Aiello reported Tuesday. WEB EXTRA : Read The Vactican Investigation Report (.pdf) Pope Francis kept a promise by releasing the 461-page report, which attempts to answer a troubling question about McCarrick. “How a man who had rumors swirling about him, about how he liked to sleep with seminarians could nevertheless rise to the top of the Catholic church,” AP religion writer Nicole Winfield said. Charming and well-spoken in five languages, McCarrick was a leading figure in American Catholicism for years. He was the Bishop of Metuchen, Archbishop of Newark, and Cardinal of Washington D.C. Now, the 90-year-old is disgraced, defrocked, and widely viewed as a deceiver. “Tony, I wish I could say you were exaggerating it a little. I don’t think you are,” Timothy Cardinal Dolan said. “(He) deceived the faithful, and at one point perhaps even deceived John Paul II?” Aiello asked. “(McCarrick) was an extraordinarily persuasive, talented, energetic, manipulative, deceitful person who was an accomplished master at keeping this dark side under check and he deceived a lot of people, all the way to the top,” Dolan said. MORE : Lawsuit Claims Ex-Cardinal McCarrick Abused Boy In Newark In 1990s The report says Pope John Paul II believed McCarrick’s denial, after New York’s John Cardinal O’Connor raised red flags in a 1999 letter. It also faults several bishops for providing incomplete information about McCarrick to the Vatican. “We publish the report with sorrow,” said Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin. McCarrick dismissed earlier anonymous letters accusing him as attempted smears. “He had a tremendous ability to charm people, including presidents of the United States, including popes,” Dolan said. The report says Pope Benedict acted to sideline McCarrick, but never pushed for a full accounting of his misdeeds. Finally in 2017, a victim abused as a minor filed a substantiated complaint with the Archdiocese of New York, and McCarrick’s career ended. Almost 30 years after reports of misconduct first surfaced. The release of the report came a few days before U.S. bishops gather for their annual fall meeting, which has been overshadowed by the McCarrick scandal for two years.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A ceremony was held Tuesday in Central Park ahead of Veterans Day to honor the women who served the nation. Most Veterans Day events have either gone virtual or been canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic, but some groups are still celebrating in smaller numbers outside. The event was held at a special location — a grove of 24 trees spanning from 69th to 71st streets along Fifth Avenue that were planted back in 1925 as a tribute to American women who served during World War I. “When you think of women from World War I who gave their lives, think about it for a second. They didn’t have the right to vote and yet they served their country,” said Mary Caraccioli, chief communications officer for the Central Park Conservancy. “American women have been serving in war zones since the American Revolution, when they dressed up as men so they can serve,” Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar added.

Tuesday’s ceremony honored military servicewomen, health care workers and volunteers, like Red Cross members. “Today, we recognize the all-important role of women in the war effort. With millions of men away from home, women filled manufacturing and agriculture positions on the home front,” one speaker said. “Others provided support on the front lines as nurses, doctors, ambulance drivers, translators and, in rare cases, on the battlefield.” “Women also make up approximately 10% of the current veteran population — the fastest growing demographic,” another speaker added. “Ask not what your country can do for you … I wanted to be a part of something greater than myself,” veteran J. Gayle Gamon said.

They were joined by Tony Orlando, whose famous song goes, “Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree.” Organizers hoped to wrap 200,000 trees in ribbons — one for every New York City veteran — in time for Veterans Day on Wednesday. So even though there won’t be big parades, there will still be reminders to thank someone who served.
