HOUSTON (AP) — The cardinal leading the U.S. Catholic Church response to sex abuse is being accused of mishandling a sexual misconduct case involving his onetime deputy and a married woman. The allegations against Cardinal Daniel DiNardo come a week before he presides over a meeting of U.S. bishops to adopt new abuse accountability measures. DiNardo’s office says the relationship was consensual. The priest was placed on leave Tuesday by his new boss after AP inquired about a police investigation.
