Francis was elected pope, and bishop of Rome, on March 13, 2013. For Francis, the pandemic offers an unprecedented opportunity to imagine and plan for a more socially just world. โI have a sense of how people with the coronavirus feel as they struggle to breathe on ventilators,โ Francis wrote.

McCarrick who was defrocked by Pope Francis in 2019 served as head of Catholic dioceses in Metuchen and Newark, New Jersey, and in Washington. โThe shadow of the McCarrick report hangs over this meeting,โ said John Gehring, Catholic program director at a Washington-based clergy network called Faith in Public Life. The report found that three decades of bishops, cardinals and popes dismissed or downplayed reports of McCarrickโs misconduct with young men. The bishops will discuss the McCarrick report twice Monday, first in a private session and later in a public livestream, according to the communications office of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
