Vatican City, Feb 16, 2019 / 01:41 am (CNA/EWTN News).- Pope Francis and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ordered this week the laicization of Theodore McCarrick, a former cardinal and archbishop emeritus of Washington."
In my opinion this was long overdue. The question remains however, what next? And will the McCarrick case now set the standard for how the Church addresses sexual abuse?
