McCarrick, laicized by Pope Francis in 2019, held one of the highest offices in the Catholic Church and has been accused of serially abusing his priestly authority by sexually abusing minors and seminarians.
Marie Collins said that the actions taken by Church leaders thus far in response to the ex-Cardinal McCarrick allegations are not sufficient to resolve the problem.

Bishop Michael Olson, who says laicization should be considered for former cardinal, said those who knew must ‘be held accountable.’
