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.

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) – In the latest episode of The Dig, CBS2’s Elle McLogan takes a culinary tour of “Little Italy” in the Bronx. Her guide is Italian-born cook Beatrice Tosti, owner of East Village restaurant Il Posto Accanto . WEB EXTRA: Feast Of San Gennaro: Italian Heritage, Tony Danza, And Cannoli Overload Here are Tosti’s top shopping tips: 1. Know where your food comes from. Tosti entrusts Calabria Pork Store with the cheese for her restaurant. “How amazing is it that you know the person that made the cheese? I am so happy to sell it and say, ‘They made it in front of me,’” Tosti said. “Buying like this, there is some love. I believe in energy that goes in what we feed people. And I know that I love all the guys here. I know they’re going to pick the best piece for me. I know they’re not going to give me something that is not right.” 2. Follow the crowd. The Arthur Avenue Retail Market is heavily trafficked, which Tosti sees as a testament to the freshness of its products. “I like to shop in busy places because it means there’s a lot of turnover.” WEB EXTRA: Tony’s Table: Italian Style Comfort Food 3. Find what’s fresh. Tosti visits Arthur Avenue at least once a week to select ingredients at the peak of freshness. When it comes to seafood, she has a strategy: “Usually, I poke it, so everybody hates me,” she said. “It’s not supposed to smell. It is supposed to be nice and glistening. It is supposed to [have] a clear eye.” 4. Ask for help. “Everybody [on Arthur Avenue] is so nice,” she said. “I like to make [Pasta alla] Genovese in the winter, and I make it with veal. [Mike at Peter’s Meat Market ] is like, ‘No, don’t make it with veal. Make it with beef.’ Everybody has their own little opinion on how to make things.” Randazzo’s Seafood 2327 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Peter’s Meat Market Arthur Avenue Retail Market 2344 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Boiano Foods Arthur Avenue Retail Market 2344 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 Calabria Pork Store 2338 Arthur Avenue Bronx, NY 10458 What’s something few people know about but everybody should?
