CNN —Italian Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a former papal ambassador to the United States who became an ultra-conservative critic of Pope Francis, has been excommunicated for schism. As a Vatican diplomat, the archbishop was tasked with serving the pope, which makes his excommunication for schism highly unusual. The Vatican explained Friday that Viganò was excommunicated following an “extrajudicial penal process,” although the archbishop has said he did not “recognize the legitimacy” of the process. “I don’t know what happened,” Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See’s Secretary of State, said recently about the now-excommunicated archbishop. The Vatican said Viganò had been told of the excommunication and that only the Holy See could lift the sanction.

McCarrick, a former archbishop of Washington, D.C., is the only current or former U.S. Catholic cardinal to ever face child sex abuse charges, with prosecutors in Massachusetts and Wisconsin filing separate cases against him. The case in Dedham, Massachusetts, before Judge Paul McCallum was the first to be filed, with prosecutors in July 2021 charging McCarrick with three counts of indecent assault and battery. A legal quirk froze the statute of limitations in the Massachusetts case after McCarrick, a non-resident, left the state. McCarrick was expelled from the Roman Catholic priesthood in 2019 after a Vatican investigation found him guilty of sexual crimes against minors and adults. According to court records, the alleged victim in the Massachusetts case said McCarrick, a family friend, began molesting him when he was a boy.

Papa Francisc numește sâmbătă 13 noi cardinali, într-o ceremonie restrânsă la Vatican. Printre aceștia se numără și arhiepiscopul de Washington, Wilton Gregory, primul prelat american de culoare care va fi admis în rândul aşa-numiţilor „Prinţi ai Bisericii”, relatează dpa, preluată de Agerpres. Wilton Gregory, care împlineşte 73 de ani luna viitoare, conduce arhiepiscopia afectată de scandalul legat de Theodore McCarrick, un fost cardinal demis anul trecut după ce împotriva lui au apărut acuzaţii de abuzuri sexuale împotriva unor minori. Din cauza riscurilor legate de pandemie, la consistoriu va participa un număr redus de persoane, aproximativ 100 de oaspeţi, plus un număr de cardinali. De asemenea, îmbrăţişarea obişnuită între cardinali nu va mai avea loc.
