According to Reuters, U.S. Roman Catholic bishops on Thursday called for a Vatican-led probe backed by lay investigators into allegations of sexual abuse by former Washington Cardinal Theodore McCarrick. The call comes two days after a Pennsylvania grand jury released the findings of the largest-ever probe of sex abuse in the U.S. Catholic Church. The probe found that that 301 priests in the state had sexually abused minors over the past 70 years.
