The disgraced former cardinal and archbishop of Washington who spent decades moving in the highest circles of the Catholic Church before being found guilty in a Vatican investigation of sexually abusing both minors and adults has died at the age of 94.
A spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Washington on April 4 shared a statement with the Catholic News Agency (CNA) in which Cardinal Robert McElroy, the recently installed Archbishop of Washington, confirmed the death of Theodore McCarrick on 3 April. McCarrick, who was reportedly suffering with dementia, had been living in a care facility in rural Missouri.
