Disgraced ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been expelled from the Roman Catholic priesthood after an investigation found sex abuse allegations against him were credible, the Vatican said Saturday.McCarrick and his henchmen did incalculable damage. The damages remains to this day. The full accounting continues. We need to know it all.
The church is penalizing McCarrick, the former Archbishop of Washington, D.C., and Newark, New Jersey, with "dismissal from the clerical state," it said in a statement.
He will not be able to appeal the decision.
The canonical investigation found that he was guilty of "sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and with adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power." He was also found guilty of "solicitation" during confession.

who wrote this article has limited knowledge of the Faith and it's Sacraments. a priest is a priest, for ever. Once consecrated to Christ, it cannot be undone. therefore, he cannot be 'expelled' from the priesthood.
the term is 'defrocked', meaning he can no longer serve in the priestly function.
anyway... one down, many more to go.
Is Bishop Foys going to be expelled for the harm he did to young men while violating the ninth commandment about bearing false witness?
