CARD: Of course I’ll consider anything we can do to make sure more victims come forward and know that they are not alone.

AND: How many allegations did you know of on July 14, 2008, when you wrote this letter?

CARDINAL: What I had in mind was Jane Doe One, that was what his letter was about. I am trying to respond to that.

(DOESN'T MENTION THE OTHER ELEVEN OR SO ALLEGATIONS IN HIS LETTER)

ANDERSON: But here you write he’ll be returned to ministry unless there are other charges.
Excuse me? Unless there are other charges? Aren’t you implying here that there are no other charges against Bennett?

CARD: No. I can’t tell people about other victims. I can’t divulge that kind of information.

(ME: They always try to make themselves look like they take all their actions with prayer and guidance from some power up above, when all they're doing is obstructing justice.)

ANDERSON: You could tell him in the letter that there are multiple allegations against Father Bennett, couldn't you?

CARDINAL: I did tell him that (there were multiple allegations) by saying “unless there are other charges to be investigated.”

ANDERSON: Uh, no. That tells him there are no other allegations.

CARDINAL: No, but that's enough to tell him that just because he’s concerned about one case doesn't mean it’s the only case. That's what I meant to say.

(ME: Double flip flop backwards total balderash logic. The above answer from the Cardinal makes absolutely no sense at all, it just fills up paper in the Answer section of the deposition transcript.)

(TALK ABOUT TRYING TO MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK GOOD, READ THIS:)

(The Cardinal is explaining why he doesn't tell victims there are other victims and other allegations against the same priest):

ANDERSON: You go on to say (in July 2006 letter) “Of course I hope Father Bennett is innocent, who would not.”
