Paywalled northjersey.com link
@Display name 99: Try this archive link? . The article mentions that "the Archdiocese of Newark and its archbishop" were named in the lawsuit, but it's not clear to me whether or not that means McCarrick. Cheers, gnu57 22:57, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- Hi Genericusername57, thank you for the link. The time period mentioned in this article of 1986 to 1988 is when McCarrick was Archbishop of Newark. But as his name does not appear anywhere in the article, I'm not sure that we can use it. Display name 99 (talk) 23:11, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
Categories: convicted
I feel that McCarrick is eligible for Category:Religious figures convicted of child sexual abuse, Category:American members of the clergy convicted of crimes, and Category:American people convicted of child sexual abuse because he was found guilty by the CDF in a canonical trial. Unless we feel like creating special parallel categories for ecclesial trials and convictions, a conviction is a conviction in any court of law. Elizium23 (talk) 07:16, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
Customary resignation
It is true that for contemporary ordinary bishops, 75 is a mandatory retirement age, but this is a relatively new thing; for most of history, bishops died in office. So I am not sure that we can say "all bishops retire at 75 so we don't need to say it." Elizium23 (talk) 22:56, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
- Agreed. But for contemporary cases is it proper to say "customary"? Isn’t it better to say something like "He submitted his resignation as required when he turned 75." Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 23:56, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
