We talk a lot on this show about the church’s sexual abuse crisis, and while Gerry and I try to break down what’s new, we don’t often get to talk about the problems that are at the root of this scandal—or how hearing these stories over and over affects our own faith.
Thankfully, there’s a new podcast from America Media that explores all of these questions. It’s called “Deliver Us.” Its host, Maggi Van Dorn, is a young Catholic reckoning with the abuse crisis. She interviews abuse survivors, experts and regular Catholics about how the church got so broken, and whether it can be fixed.
So this week, instead of our usual Vatican news, we’re bringing you a special look behind the church’s sexual abuse crisis with episode one of Deliver Us. We’ll be back with more Vatican news next week.
