Another podcast appreciation post: "Crisis: Clergy Abuse in the Catholic Church"

I have been listening to The Catholic Project’s new podcast, “Crisis: Clergy Abuse in the Catholic Church” and highly recommend. It deals with the history of the decades-long history of priest abuse in the Church, is built from tons of firsthand sources, and deals with victims compassionately. The whole endeavor is fair and enlightening, even if often heartbreaking to listen to.

Per their own description, the show is “A series about the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church: its origins, characters, causes, and reforms. Host Karna Lozoya interviews bishops, survivors, reporters, lawyers, social workers, and many more, to help navigate a systemic problem that has plagued the modern church for at least 70 years.”

As host Karna Lozoya often says, the way to end the systemic abuse in the Church is to talk about it. The show is a frank and honest discussion which does not seek to disparage anyone, but to tell the story truthfully, as it is. It is a tough story, but one which must be told.

So - find it wherever you listen to your podcasts and get ready to learn, and pray.
