Vatican Upholds Excommunication of Deacon After Priest Abuse Case
The Vatican has upheld the excommunication of Scott Peyton, a former Catholic deacon from Louisiana. Peyton left the Church after a priest admitted to sexually abusing his teenage son in 2018. Despite Peyton's appeal and his questioning of why the convicted priest remains in the priesthood while serving a seven-year prison sentence, the Vatican confirmed the excommunication.
