Recent allegations against former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick include reports that he made sexual advances toward seminarians during his tenure as Bishop of Metuchen and Archbishop of Newark.<\/p>\n
CNA recently spoke to six priests of the Archdiocese of Newark, and one priest member of a religious order who was a seminarian in New York in the early 1970s, while McCarrick was a priest of the Archdiocese of New York.<\/p>\n
Citing archdiocesan policy and concerns about ecclesiastical repercussions for their candor, the priests agreed to speak to CNA only under the condition of anonymity. The priests spoke individually to CNA, and their accounts were compared for confirmation.<\/p>\n
The religious priest who spoke to CNA said when he studied in a seminary in New York, McCarrick, who was then an aide to Cardinal Terence Cooke of New York, would sometimes visit the seminary. The priest said that McCarrick\u2019s reputation was already well established by this time.<\/p>\n
The dean of our theology school was a classmate at CUA with McCarrick, and he knew about the rumors,\u201d the priest told CNA, \u201che spoke about them with the other faculty and theologians very openly.\u201d<\/p>\n
So well-known was McCarrick\u2019s reputation, the priest said, that when McCarrick would accompany Cooke to visit the seminary there was a standing joke that they had to \u201chide the handsome ones\u201d before he arrived.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
