Why McCarrick's defrocking represents an 'extraordinary signal' for the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church has taken the most severe measure yet to respond to sexual abuse, and its concealment.

William Brangham talks to journalist John Allen of Crux about whether this marks a new chapter in the church’s approach to addressing its sex abuse crisis.
