Cardinal DiNardo, President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, released a statement on Wednesday in which he expressed "anger, sadness, and shame" for the "grievous moral failure within the Church" regarding Archbishop Theodore McCarrick's sex-abuse accusations.

"Dear Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo, The laity does not care how much shame you feel," Heaton, who is Catholic, said. "We want all those who perpetrated and covered up sexual abuse OUT. Also, victims of abuse should not 'come forward' but go directly to the police. You had your chance to help; you failed," she added.

Also criticizing DiNardo for expressing how the McCarrick accusations have affected the Bishops, the Christian actress told him the Catholic laity wants sexual abusers in the Church and those who covered for them removed from office.
