The Vatican has expelled 88-year-old U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, after he was found guilty of soliciting for sex while hearing confession and of sexual crimes against minors and adults.
U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick who is the first cardinal to be defrocked in the church’s sex abuse scandals, can no longer celebrate Mass or other sacraments, wear clerical vestments or be addressed by any religious title. The Vatican expelled the former archbishop of Washington, after Pope Francis led an extraordinary gathering of bishops to tried to find a solution sexual abuse allegations against priests in the catholic church.
McCarrick, 88, who became the first Catholic prelate in nearly 100 years to lose the title of cardinal in July, appealed the decision which was made secretly in the first instance on January 11, but it was upheld earlier this week and the pope has ruled that no further appeal would be allowed.
The former Cardinal who became a power-broker as archbishop of Washington from 2001 to 2006, has been living in seclusion in a remote friary in Kansas, had before now responded publicly to only one of the allegations, saying he has “absolutely no recollection” of an alleged case of sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy more than 50 years ago.
BishopAccountability.org, a US-based group that tracks abuse, said it was “meaningful punishment, and one which most abusive bishops have escaped” but years overdue.
“Once again, under the glare of negative publicity, Pope Francis is prodded to finally do the right thing,” a statement said.
McCarrick was also found guilty of the separate crime of solicitation, which refers to when a priest uses the pretext of the sacrament of confession to commit an immoral act with a penitent.
One of the men who has claimed that McCarrick abused him when he was a boy said the then-priest touched his genitals during confession.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter
and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
