Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, once a prominent figure in the Catholic Church, has died at age 94. Defrocked in 2019 after a Vatican investigation revealed his sexual abuse of adults and children, McCarrick’s legacy is marred by a scandal that highlighted negligence within the Church, with evidence suggesting leaders ignored his misconduct. The Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests expressed disappointment that McCarrick never faced trial for his actions, underscoring the ongoing pain of his victims.
