Theodore McCarrick: Fall from Power and Scandal

The Rise and Fall of Theodore McCarrick

Theodore McCarrick was once one of the most powerful Catholic cardinals in the United States. Born in 1930 in New York, he rose through the ranks of the Church, becoming Archbishop of Washington and a trusted advisor to popes. Known for his charm and fundraising skills, he was a prominent voice on social justice issues.

But behind his public image lay dark secrets. For decades, rumors swirled about McCarrick’s inappropriate behavior with seminarians and young priests. He was accused of pressuring them into sharing his bed during retreats, claiming it was an act of 'spiritual fatherhood.' Many victims stayed silent, fearing retaliation.

In 2017, the first public allegations emerged. A former altar boy accused McCarrick of sexually abusing him in the 1970s. Then, more victims—seminarians and young priests—came forward, detailing coercion and abuse. Investigations confirmed he had for years used his power to exploit vulnerable men.

In 2018, Pope Francis ordered McCarrick’s resignation from the College of Cardinals. A Vatican investigation found him guilty of sexual abuse and misconduct, leading to his defrocking in 2019—the first U.S. cardinal ever to be laicized.

McCarrick’s downfall exposed deep failures in the Church’s handling of abuse. Documents later revealed that multiple bishops and even popes had heard warnings about him but allowed his rise. Today, he lives in seclusion, while his victims continue seeking justice—a stark reminder of unchecked power and betrayal.
