One of the challenges facing Pope Leo XIV is cleaning up corruption in the Church hierarchy. In the spotlight is Cdl. Robert McElroy, whose meteoric rise from little-known San Francisco priest to now head of the most powerful archdiocese in America is worth a deeper look. He's plagued not only with a reputation for being one of the nation's most liberal bishops, but also accused of protecting predators: the notorious Cdl. Theodore McCarrick, and Fr. Jacob Bertrand, who pled guilty to rape.
In this latest Special Report, investigative journalist Christine Niles takes a look at McElroy's past, and what it means for the Church's future.
