LONDON — Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who last month became one of
the highest-ranking Americans to be removed from public ministry because
of sex abuse allegations, has resigned from the College of Cardinals in
the Vatican.
Pope Francis accepted the resignation and ordered
McCarrick — the former head of the Archdiocese of Washington and a
well-known religious figure around the world — to observe a life of
prayer and penance in seclusion, according to a statement released by the Holy See on Saturday.
The
statement said he was obliged to "remain in a house yet to be indicated
to him ... until the accusations made against him are examined in a
regular canonical trial."
