Papa Emeritus is 91 years old (May God grant him a hundred years!). I am not surprised he doesn't remember exactly what he ordered.
From Gloria.tv
Without referring to sources, NCRegister.com (August 26) has confirmed that the abuse allegations against Cardinal McCarrick "were certainly known to Benedict”.
The former pope "remembers instructing Cardinal Bertone to impose measures but cannot recall their exact nature.”
In an August 22 statement, Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a former nuncio in Washington, had revealed that Benedict XVI [secretly] imposed sanctions against McCarrick in 2009 or 2010.
The sanctions were later reversed by Pope Francis although he was well informed about the allegations against McCarrick.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
