Moderates lament McCarrick's loss

The headline says it all.

Update: Did I speak too soon? I hadn't noticed this (subscription-only) NCR story in praise of McCarrick:

The Washington Post praised him as "humble by nature" and "disarmingly impish." The New York Times hailed him as a "natural diplomat." Fr. Robert Drinan, a Catholic priest who once served as a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, said McCarrick had "no enemies" in his archdiocese.

Taken in proper context, I guess the initial headline does say it all, after all.
