Theodore McCarrick foi punido pelo Vaticano em função de abusos sexuais (Reuters/Alessandro Bianchi/Direitos Reservados)
O Vaticano anunciou hoje (16) que a Congregação para a Doutrina da Fé expulsou do sacerdócio o ex-cardeal e arcebispo emérito de Washington (EUA), Theodore McCarrick, de 88 anos.
Ele foi acusado de abusos sexuais a menores e seminaristas, informou a assessoria de imprensa da Santa Sé, através de um comunicado.
Esta é a primeira vez na história da Igreja Católica que um cardeal perde seu título em razão de abusos sexuais.
A decisão acontece depois da investigação sobre o caso ordenada pelo papa Francisco e poucos dias antes de o Vaticano realizar – na próxima semana – uma reunião histórica contra os abusos a menores por parte de religiosos.
