In this episode, Karna Lozoya speaks with Stephen White, Executive Director of The Catholic Project at Catholic University, one of the creators of this podcast, and Ed Condon, editor at the Catholic News Agency, about the newly-released report from the Vatican about the institutional knowledge regarding Theodore McCarrick.
An issue this podcast keeps returning to is bishops' accountability. Are the reforms of Vos estis lux mundi being applied in the US Church? This episode features Cardinal Timothy Dolan, reporters Harriet Ryan of the L.A. Times and Christopher Altieri of the UK Catholic Herlald, and canon lawyer Tom Doyle.
The story of clergy sex abuse is a hard one to tell. Catholics face the difficult task of incorporating what has happened into their understanding of the Church that they love. This episode features J.D. Flynn, Tom Doyle, Mar Munoz-Visoso, and James Matthew Wilson.
Since 2002, being a priest has lost much of its public respect and stature. How have priests experienced the ongoing crisis? And how has seminary formation changed in view of the revelations about sexual abuse? This episode includes Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Fr. Jude de Angelo, Fr. Carter Griffin, Fr. Paul Scalia and Christina Lynch, psychologist.
The vast majority of Catholics are lay people; living out their mission as Christians in the world. How did the laity respond to the abuse crisis? How can the laity help the Church to move forward? This episode features Jonathan Reyes, Deborah Savage, Dan Cellucci, and Francesco Cesareo.
In this episode, Karna walks listeners through the process that a clergy abuse survivor would go through today, talking with Susan Mulheron, Canonical Chancellor for the Archdiocese of St. Paul- Minneapolis, Timothy O’Malley, investigator for the Archdiocese of St. Paul- Minneapolis, and Sue Bernie, former District Attorney in New Orleans.
Are kids safe in the Church today? How confident can parents be? This episode explores the changes of the 2002 Dallas Charter and what can still be improved, with Courtney Chase of the Archdiocese of Washington, Eileen Dombo from the National Catholic School of Social Service, Deacon Bernie Nojadera of the USCCB, and Francesco Cesareo of the National Review Board, among others.
A short bit of extra content about the survivors’ movement: the history of LinkUp and SNAP along with the mission and current work of SNAP, with Brian Clites of Case Western Reserve University and Tim Lennon, Chairman of the Board of SNAP (Survivors’ Network of those Abused by Priests).
When the crisis of 2018 hit, many men and women were already dealing with trauma from their own experiences of abuse. James Grein and Theresa Pitt Green share their stories, and we hear from researcher Bob Orsi from Northwestern University and social work professor Melissa Grady from Catholic University.
How did the Catholic Church become a place that abusers could hide in? Were men who were prone to abuse drawn to the priesthood? In 2002, the Catholic bishops commissioned a report on clergy sexual abuse from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Karna talks with Margaret Smith, who worked on that report, as well as Msgr. Steven Rossetti, who helped to draft the Dallas Charter, Fr. Paul Scalia, George Weigel, and others.
Sexual abuse by clergy of the Catholic Church is not a new problem. Crisis looks at the early signs in the 1950’s and walks us through time to the Dallas Charter of 2002 and the meeting in Rome in February 2019. Features Archbishop Wilton Gregory of Washington, DC; reporters Jason Berry and Greg Erlandson; Kim Daniels of Georgetown's Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life, and others.
A whirlwind summer: What happened? Revelations about Cardinal McCarrick, the Pennsylvania grand jury report, accusations from a Vatican diplomat, and perceived tensions between the Holy See and the American episcopacy. Host Karna Lozoya walks us through the timeline of 2018 with the help of many voices, including James Grein, the abuse survivor whose story was in The New York Times, whistleblower Fr. Boniface Ramsey, and Cardinal DiNardo.

These priest Are not Holy men or Men of God Even the Pope is not a holy man we all fall short from the grace of God These men are serpents sick disgusting men that prey on innocent people Because ignorant people see them as powerful men open your eyes
When will people realize that The Bible says dam is the man who puts there faith in other men
u give these peaces of shit to much power
there is a special place in hell for these dirty old men that call themselves men of God that touch children. There is a backwards pineapple shoot up your butthole
If you pay to keep people quiet for molested kids what does that say about that church what does that say about the head of the church the Pope you think he Does not know what goes on
The Catholic Church Is the most corrupt church or religion These people burned others If you look up The religion santeria is the same is the Catholic Church they idolize idols What does The Bible say about idolizing
holy office lmao no one is holy if we where we would not need Jesus or he would not give himself on the cross
They didn't abandon them they Rape them
The Catholic Church knew that this pedophile was having sex with little boys but because he was bringing money They looked the other way What a church
It's not moving fast enough. There has to be a way to get these clerical priests, bishops whatever be arrested & made accountable. There is no rehabilitation for what they do & hiding them or reasigning them isn't a fix. PUT THEM ALL IN JAIL if they are guilty PERIOD!!!
Episode 8 with the Priest and Archbishop talking they never even apologized just kept talking about how Priests make mistakes they are human and how people left the church, had it been the congregation that did hideous things they would be shunned...why are Priest above the law?!
"why did abuse happen in the catholic church", "Its very difficult for both adults who work with adolescence and adolescence to keep their relationship healthy, its very easy for unwanted intimacy to develop" - sounds like an absolutely disgusting excuse for the abuse.
I was raised as Roman Catholic and left in total disgust back in 2001. Things got a ton worse since I left. I left because of Verbal and Emotional Abuse. Now Child Sexual Abuse, Embezzlement and Corruption have been revealed... The Catholic Church has become a CULT and a CORPORATION. Their initial reaction to child sex abuse is NO DIFFERENT FROM COMPANIES DENYING ABUSE!
not scared, or ashamed. praise God
All those priests need to be removed from the churches permanently & prosecuted by law & put in jail. Pedophilia isn't curable.
