From CNA:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Archdiocese of Washington has confirmed that seminarians were permitted to serve as assistants to Archbishop Theodore McCarrick while the archbishop was being investigated for the alleged sexual abuse of a teenager.<\/p>\n

In 2011, McCarrick moved from a\u00a0parish rectory<\/a>\u00a0to a house adjacent\u00a0to the seminary of the Institute of the Incarnate Word<\/a>\u00a0(IVE), a religious order, in Chillum, Md., within the Washington archdiocese.<\/p>\n

According to two former IVE seminarians on campus at the time, McCarrick lived in a separate house on the grounds, which he paid for himself, or at least arranged to have purchased for him.<\/p>\n

The IVE initially assigned McCarrick a priest to serve as secretary for him once he was living on the property. Sources confirm that the priest was assigned to live in the house with McCarrick.<\/p>\n

rchdiocesan records confirm that priests were given this assignment, and a spokesman told CNA it is likely the archdiocese provided some financial support for the role.<\/p>\n

Former IVE seminarians told CNA that McCarrick made significant demands of staff and formators. CNA was told, for example, that despite the austere lifestyle encouraged by the order, McCarrick had his own VIP menu served to him in the refectory, regardless of what the priests and seminarians were eating.<\/p>\n

Local formators and superiors of the IVE were, according to CNA\u2019s sources within the order, unhappy with the arrangement, but recognized that the liberal-minded McCarrick functioned as a sort of informal patron for the order, despite its more traditional leanings. McCarrick frequently ordained the order\u2019s priests, in Washington and abroad, and helped them to navigate criticisms from South American bishops, including Archbishop Jorge Bergoglio, who became Pope Francis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
