Theodore Edgar McCarrick
Theodore Edgar McCarrick was a former American cardinal and archbishop of Washington who became the highest-ranking prelate in the Catholic Church to be accused of sexual abuse. Born on July 7, 1930, McCarrick had a prominent career within the church, serving in various roles that included being a bishop in New Jersey and a Vatican troubleshooter. However, in 2018, he was defrocked by the Vatican after numerous allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, leading to a canonical trial that found him guilty of abusing minors and seminarians. McCarrick's case became emblematic of the broader sexual abuse crisis within the Catholic Church, highlighting failures in accountability at the highest levels. He died in 2023 at the age of 94.
