After much revelation into the secret life of former Cardinal and Archbishop Theodore McCarrick, Pope Francis and the Vatican have decided to defrock him permanently. His case will not get an appeal. This is a strong action on the part of the pope and Vatican indicating that they are starting to get serious about the sex abuse scandals which has moved from abuse of minors, to abuse of seminarians and women religious.
McCarrick was once a very powerful clergyman who even recommended other clerics for promotion, such as, Cardinal Farrell and Cupich. Both whom are subject of concern among the Catholic faithful as well. McCarrick was accused of sexually abusing minors, soliciting sex from males in the confessional and even taking advantage of seminarians. Some rectors even joked about having to hide the handsome seminaries whenever McCarrick visited.
Much more still has to be done in order to show true justice for victims and give assurance to the Catholic faithful that the Vatican is taking things seriously.
