✣Cardinal faces explosive new abuse claim
What happened? A man accused Cardinal Theodore McCarrick of abusing him for nearly 20 years from the age of 11. The man, identified as James, said the cardinal had been a close family friend known as “Uncle Teddy”. McCarrick was removed from public ministry after an allegation he groped a 16-year-old was found to be credible. James told the New York Times that, when he heard the news, he knelt down and “thanked God that I am not alone and it is going to be OK.”
