"Wisconsin Court Suspends Case Against Ex-Cardinal McCarrick in Sexual Assault Allegations"
TL;DR Summary
Former cardinal Theodore McCarrick, charged with criminal sex assault in Wisconsin, has been declared incompetent due to dementia, effectively ending the criminal case. This comes after previous charges were dismissed in Massachusetts. McCarrick, who was laicized by the Vatican in 2019 for sexually abusing minors, faces civil cases in New Jersey. The decision has sparked urgency for transparency among abuse survivors and church-watchers, who believe the Vatican and legal systems are allowing McCarrick to evade accountability.
