The highest-ranking Catholic official to have been accused of sexual abuse in the United States is not competent to stand trial, a Massachusetts district court judge ruled Aug. 30.
The ruling frees 93-year-old former Roman Catholic Cardinal Theodore McCarrick from a criminal trial, at least in Massachusetts.
