The Vatican has expelled 88-year-old U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, after he was found guilty of soliciting for sex while hearing confession and of sexual crimes against minors and adults.

U.S. Cardinal Theodore McCarrick who is the first cardinal to be defrocked in the church’s sex abuse scandals, can no longer celebrate Mass or other sacraments, wear clerical vestments or be addressed by any religious title. The Vatican expelled the former archbishop of Washington, after Pope Francis led an extraordinary gathering of bishops to tried to find a solution sexual abuse allegations against priests in the catholic church.


McCarrick, 88, who became the first Catholic prelate in nearly 100 years to lose the title of cardinal in July, appealed the decision which was made secretly in the first instance on January 11, but it was upheld earlier this week and the pope has ruled that no further appeal would be allowed.

The former Cardinal who became a power-broker as archbishop of Washington from 2001 to 2006, has been living in seclusion in a remote friary in Kansas, had before now responded publicly to only one of the allegations, saying he has “absolutely no recollection” of an alleged case of sexual abuse of a 16-year-old boy more than 50 years ago.

You're correct. Since there are no Paedophiles in the Church or amongst the Christians; the FG should impose tax on all the Churches & dissolve CAN for using the private jet of its former President (Ayo Oritsejafor) to smuggle arms from South Afrika.

If Jesus Christ whom you emulate in your fraudulent preaching of the gospel could pay his tax, then you have no excuse whatsoever not to comply.

Matthew 17:24–27

24 When Jesus and the others arrived in Capernaum, the collectors for the temple tax came to Peter and asked, “Does your teacher pay the temple tax?”

25 “Yes, he does,” Peter answered.
After they had returned home, Jesus went up to Peter and asked him, “Simon, what do you think? Do the kings of this earth collect taxes and fees from their own people or from foreigners?”

26 Peter answered, “From foreigners.” Jesus replied, “Then their own people[b] don’t have to pay.

27 But we don’t want to cause trouble. So go cast a line into the lake and pull out the first fish you hook. Open its mouth, and you will find a coin. Use it to pay your taxes and mine.”

As you can see from this scripture above, Jesus Christ humbled himself by paying his taxes without putting up any resistance, and so, all the Pentecostal, Catholic & other denominations should follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ - by paying their taxes to the Government, else their monies should be confiscated & assets nationalized.

It is good that the catholic church is resolving some issues head on. But let us just hope it is all encompassing and not just using a scape goat to satisfy the public.

Cardinal ?
The end is truly near

Good riddance to bad rubbish, they shouldn't bring their liberal filth to the Catholic Church.

His offense is that he got caught because Na who dem catch na im commit crime.

He should pay for his crimes.
The catholic church needs to allow these men to marry so that they would stop abusing young boys.Any found guilty should face the music.

THIS ONE PRICK DEY SCRASH AM

Am I the only Catholic that doesn't subscribe to the whole celibacy thing....Konji is a must

"Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm",that phrase would have saved him if he were a Pentecostal priest or an Overseer!

The right way to go.

Was almost late fishing him out. At 88 years he's due for retirement anyways

This old men and their sagging balls no go leave minors alone. Celibacy my ass....KONJIjitis is an unavoidable disease

Thank he was discovered and sanctioned. We don't take poo in Catholic Church. Catholic Church is known 4 its sanctity

Seriously at this point the Catholic church should be disbanded. The church has become a joke, you have fathers molesting little boys. It just goes to show that no matter how hard you try to suppress your libido, its impossible. These guys have to ease the built up sexual tensions and sometimes the easiest and most vulnerable targets are little kids. Its' just sad.

Evil men forming holiness

the topic is about the cardinal not Emir.. Why not condemn the act and stop attacking others who were not mentioned?

type with sense next time. The catholic church is not your mate and is a build up of many people including the laity and not just priests! This is a case against an appointed cardinal and not the entire catholic church.

and you think that'll remedy the effect of what this fake cardinals are doing to little boys?or you think it is a war between cardinals and emirs?
A bad is bad it doesn't matter who commit it.

So remove that dust and grow up.

Yepa!!! This old man looking so innocent soliciting for sex kwa How will he do it?

An offence that took place more than 50yrs ago.
Kudos to my Catholic church for not trying to sweep it under the carpet.

Failure of the 11th commandment.

The whites never forgive nor forget crime no matter how long it takes them to find out unlike Nigeria where people get away with anything.

The world's oldest surviving institution should be disbanded?

Can you give me the name of your church, so I can check if the founder is older than the cardinal.

Okay. East, West, North or South, ATIKU is the best! Common, let's ATIKULATE!
