The 71 year old prelate succeeds Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who resigned in October following criticism over his handling of abuse cases in the 1980s and 90s. Wuerl s predecessor, former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, was defrocked by Pope Francis after a Vatican investigation concluded he had sexually abused minors and adults.By contrast, Gregory led the U.S. Catholic Church in its adoption of a zero tolerance policy against sex abuse. He was president of the U.S. Bishops Conference in 2002, during the first wave of the abuse crisis, and was instrumental in the development and adoption of tough procedures to handle clergy sex abuse in the U.S., commonly known as the Dallas Charter.
