The Vatican has upheld the excommunication of Scott Peyton, a former Catholic deacon from Louisiana who left the Church after a priest admitted sexually abusing his teenage son in 2018. Peyton, who joined another Christian congregation, had appealed against the decision. He has questioned why he was excommunicated while the convicted priest remains in the priesthood despite serving a seven-year prison sentence.
