McCarrick's Criminal Case Suspended

The criminal sexual assault case in Wisconsin against the disgraced ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been suspended. McCarrick is the highest-ranking Catholic prelate to face criminal charges in the clergy sex abuse scandal. The allegations against him set off what’s become known as the Catholic Church’s “Summer of Shame.” Decades of sexual abuse allegations against McCarrick implicated Pope Francis as well as numerous U.S. and Vatican bishops who were said to have covered up for him, enabling his ascent to power.
