Pope Francis accepts the resignation from the College of
Cardinals of the Archbishop emeritus of Washington, Cardinal Theodore
McCarrick.
Pope Francis on Saturday accepted the resignation of
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop emeritus of Washington (USA), from the
cardinalate.
At the same time, the Holy Father barred him from the
exercise of any public ministry, according to a statement from the Holy See
Press Office on Saturday.
Pope Francis directed Cardinal McCarrick to observe "a
life of prayer and penance until the accusations made against him are
examined in a regular canonical trial."
The Pope also imposed on Cardinal McCarrick "the
obligation to remain in a house yet to be indicated to him".
Cardinal McCarrick sent his letter of resignation as a
member of the College of Cardinals to Pope Francis on Friday evening.
