SIOUX CITY (IA)
Des Moines Register
An 80-year-old Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing children has been defrocked by Vatican officials.
George McFadden, a Diocese of Sioux City priest for more than 50 years, was barred by Vatican officials from performing public ministry, presenting himself as a priest and having unsupervised contact with minors. Instead, McFadden was ordered to serve a "life of prayer and penance," according to the Diocese of Sioux City.
