US ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick defrocked over abuse claims


A former Roman Catholic cardinal has been defrocked after historical sexual abuse allegations.
Theodore McCarrick is the most senior Catholic figure to be dismissed from the priesthood in modern times.
US Church officials said allegations he had sexually assaulted a teenager five decades ago were credible.
Mr McCarrick, 88, had previously resigned but said he had "no recollection" of the alleged abuse.
"No bishop, no matter how influential, is above the law of the Church," Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said in a statement.
"For all those McCarrick abused, I pray this judgment will be one small step, among many, toward healing."
