Quebec Cardinal Marc Ouellet was once considered to be a strong contender for the papacy. In the brief note on the end of his career, there was no mention of the sexual assault allegations, but rather that he “[reached] the age limit” for cardinals.

“The timing is suggestive, and it raises troubling questions about the Pope’s possible complicity,” Barrett Doyle said in a statement. She said Francis should be more transparent: “Is his removal from office a sanction?” But in August of last year, a class-action lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese of Quebec detailed new accusations against him personally., including kisses, massages and remarks, by a woman initially identified only as “F.” According to the lawsuit, the incidents began roughly 15 years ago, when Ouellet was archbishop of Quebec and the woman was a pastoral intern.
The allegations against Ouellet are awkward for Francis, not only because he was considered a close ally to the pope in the Vatican. Although Ouellet was appointed by Francis’s predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, Francis kept Ouellet on far beyond his regular five-year term.
