Now, I do not know the exact reason for this, at this time.
The most likely reason, is that it is to help increase the amount of $$$ donated to the Annual Appeal, as the appeal was down by 30% from the target in 2019.
One possible reason is that with the McCarrick report to be "issued soon," it is a way to get ahead of the media both on a diocese and personal level.
It could be to relieve a guilty conscience.
It could be all and more.
However, the former secretary of Mr. McCarrick has spoken about how he (McCarrick) "used" people.
