Crisis
Crisis , a podcast supported by the Catholic University of America, confronts the legacy of predator priests. The host, Karna Lozoya, respects both the faith and those who were abused as she uncompromisingly pursues the truth. Survivors, such as James Grein, tell Lozoya that they were ignored after informing their parents about their tormentors. ( Grein even says that he told the pope himself .) Several guests, including clergy members, refer to the church as a good-old-boys’ club. Lozoya’s investigation exposes many of the Catholic Church’s long-standing problems—such as its hierarchy and the divide between laity and clergy—and reflects on the challenges that many survivors of sexual abuse face. “Healing” isn’t always possible, but the show aims to provide the accountability that survivors were denied, even as the child-sexual-abuse scandal within the Church continues. Crisis is a compelling listen despite the grim material.
