Warren Hasty Carroll (March 24, 1932 – July 17, 2011) was the founder and first president ofChristendom College inFront Royal, Virginia. He authored multiple works ofRoman Catholic church history.

Carroll was born on March 24, 1932, in Maine, the son of Herbert Allen Carroll andGladys Hasty Carroll, a writer. He received his B.A. in history fromBates College in 1953. He received his M.A. and Ph.D. in history fromColumbia University. His younger sister, Sarah Watson, who died one month after Warren in 2011, and both of their parents were also Bates College graduates.^[1]

Carroll served at one time in theCentral Intelligence Agency'santi-communism division as aCommunist propaganda analyst. From 1967 to 1972, he served on the staff of California State Senator and later U.S. Congressman,John G. Schmitz.^[2]

A year after his marriage to Anne Westhoff, Carroll converted fromDeism to Catholicism in 1968 and began working for the Catholic magazineTriumph. In 1977, he founded Christendom College with the help of other Catholic laymen, in particular, William H. Marshner, Jeffrey A. Mirus, Raymund P. O'Herron, and Kristin M. Burns. He served as the first president of the college, until 1985, and chairman of its History Department until his retirement in 2002.

He helped his wife authorChrist the King, Lord of History,Christ in the Americas, a job that would later prove most beneficial when writing his comprehensive study of internationalcommunism, andSeventy Years of the Communist Revolution, updated and re-released asThe Rise and Fall of the Communist Revolution.

Carroll lived inManassas, Virginia, with his wife Anne, founder ofSeton School and Seton Home Study School.

Before his death, he returned to Christendom College each month during the school year to deliver public lectures on select historical topics, ranging from the history ofMalta, toGenghis Khan, to theFrench Revolution, and topics from the 20th century, with lectures on EmperorKarl of Austria and theRussian Revolution in 1917. Carroll remained a member of the board of directors and played an active role in helping to guide the college through the years.

Carroll died on July 17, 2011, inManassas, Virginia, at the age of 79, after a number of years of dealing with the effects of numerousstrokes. He was interred at Christendom College in a grave overlooking theShenandoah River behind the college's Regina Coeli Hall. On September 16, 2012, Carroll'sCeltic cross headstone, which is inscribed with "Truth exists. The Incarnation happened", was blessed by college chaplain Fr. Donald Planty.^[3]

Christendom College, the school he founded, awarded Carroll with an honorary doctorate in humane letters in 1999, its Pro Deo et Patria Award for Distinguished Service to God and Country in 2007, and its inaugural Queen Isabel Catholic Vision of History Award in 2007. The Society of Catholic Social Scientists, an organization of which he was a board member, named him its inaugural recipient of the Pius XI Award in history in 1995.^[4]

He published articles through the society's periodical, theCatholic Social Science Review.^[5] Carroll is also known for his major work, the multi-volume "History of Christendom". At the time of his death, only five volumes had been published; Anne Carroll helped complete the sixth volume, published in the summer of 2013. The series presents a narrative account ofWestern Civilization andCatholic history from antiquity around 2000 BC through 2010.
