He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, New York, United States, in 1954, and a Master's degree in history from the same institution in 1958. After being ordained to the priesthood by Francis Cardinal Spellman on May 31, 1958 in New York City, McCarrick went on to earn a second Master's degree in social sciences and a doctorate in sociology, both at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.

He was an auxiliary bishop of New York, the first Bishop of Metuchen, and Archbishop of Newark before becoming Archbishop of Washington.

He is the Cardinal Priest of the Titulus Ss. Nerei et Achillei. He was one of the cardinal electors who participated in the 2005 papal conclave that selected Pope Benedict XVI.

He also serves as the chairman of a task force examining the church's relationship with Catholic politicians whose voting records conflict with Church doctrine.

On May 16, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Cardinal McCarrick as Archbishop of Washington, DC, upon the latter's reaching the customary age limit, and appointed Donald Wuerl, Bishop of Pittsburgh, as the 6th Archbishop of Washington, DC. From May 16 until Wuerl's installation one month later on June 22, 2006, McCarrick served as the Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Washington, an interim post. Despite stepping down from his post, McCarrick is still eligible to participate in future papal conclaves that begin before his 80th birthday on July 7, 2010.

On 12 March 2007 it was announced that Cardinal McCarrick will become a Counselor at the Center for Strategic and International Studies [1].
