✣Pope accepts Cardinal McCarrick’s resignation
What happened? Pope Francis accepted the resignation from the College of Cardinals of Theodore McCarrick after two allegations that he sexually abused children. The former Archbishop of Washington has been ordered to live “a life of prayer and penance” until the outcome of a canonical trial. McCarrick, who is 88, had renounced public ministry in June after the Archdiocese of New York concluded that an allegation that he abused a teenager decades ago was credible.
