TL;DR
Former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been ruled incompetent to stand trial for sexual assault in Wisconsin due to a diagnosis of dementia, following a similar ruling in Massachusetts. The 93-year-old, once a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, is accused of repeated abuse and the rulings may bring an end to efforts to prosecute him.
