Many seem convinced a decision is due out tomorrow.
Anything is possible in this case, as we’ve seen. But some thoughts.
The Féria IV of the CDF is scheduled to meet on Wednesday. A decision on McCarrick the day before would be interesting...
Art. 27 of Sacramentorum Sanctitatis Tutela allows recourse against administrative decrees of the CDF to the Féria IV
But... SST art. 21.2.2 says that:
The pope has previously said he prefers personal involvement in cases involving bishops.
Also all signs suggest there is no appetite in Rome for an appeal to drag on for months.
Or it wasn’t sufficiently clear, in which case why all the rush.
But Rome moves in mysterious ways and we know little about the people and process that’s been used.
End thread.
