O'Connor, who had looked into the allegations in 1994, prior to the pope's 1995 visit to Newark and cleared McCarrick, felt by 1999 that McCarrick ought not be made archbishop of Washington D.C. as planned. He told Pope John Paul II as much, then shortly passed away. — PolitiTweet.org

The report finds that John Paul II was well aware of the allegations against McCarrick as early as 1999, nearly twenty years before he was finally laicized. This was in part thanks to a detailed letter outlining the allegations, sent by Archbishop John O'Connor that year. — PolitiTweet.org

At that point, McCarrick wrote the Pope himself, presenting the allegations as shocking to him and insisting on his virginity. Pope John Paul II apparently bought it, and McCarrick was installed in Washington D.C., where he would remain until his retirement in 2006. — PolitiTweet.org
