Painful but necessary. Thank you, this is so well done.

This is not what I thought it would be. It seems to focus a lot on “how badly the church felt” and not on the victim’s war torn lives.

Very informative and interesting. Addresses a lot of issues related to this drama. . .

I am an ex-Catholic that was disgusted by the scandal that the Roman Catholic Church underwent. It was interesting to hear the stories of victims, the processes of how the oversight was created for Priests and the changes for Bishops were also made. It covers the history of Mcgarrick, early...Read full review »

I had to stop listening. Let me get something very clear. Priests don’t become pedophiles. Pedophiles become priests! Homosexual men do not become child rapists. The church protected and continues to protect child rapists. Do not listen to this garbage

It is so critically important that we all learn about the sexual abuse tragedy in the Catholic Church. This podcast dives deep into what has happened, what causes it, and the role that the Church itself has played in it.
Maggiep1835 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/15/21
Listening to this, at times, is utterly heartbreaking. That said, I PROFOUNDLY ADMIRE the people who have come forward and have told their stories. As a practicing Roman Catholic, it is difficult to accept this podcast, but a mandatory task, nevertheless. I pray that ALL THOSE who have been...Read full review »

Defend the Pope as someone who came to realize the issues in Chile were/are real? How long did he live in South America as a priest? Come on Why comment on a Bishop’s conference in February 2018 when PA’s report came out in summer 2018? Were the Bishops really trying to organize because they...Read full review »

This podcast is very difficult to listen to at times. However, it is necessary for us to understand this crisis if we are to move forward. Everybody needs to know what’s happened in the past, and what is being done to root out this horrendous evil. Sending up prayers for healing for the persons...Read full review »

I would not have tried this podcast were it not for Stephen White’s recommendation on The Catholic Thing. Thank God I did start. While fortunately not a victim myself, I do know others who are. As a Catholic I must admit to having gotten defensive as much of this horror played out. The Crisis...Read full review »

“Not All Priests” would be another name for this show. This podcast was informative about details of these cases and provides some new perspectives. BUT, as others have said, it starts to steer toward healing for the Catholic Church by decentralizing the victims in the story. It’s worrisome...Read full review »

Thank you for explaining all angles of the sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. It was Hard to listen to at times but I do feel more informed.

I'm beginning postgraduate study in child protection and safeguarding this year so I've been scouting around for some resources to get ahead of the topic before the semester kicks off. This podcast series from the 'Catholic Project' run by the Cathoic University of America on...Read full review »

The entire program was extremely honest and without excuses. The crew faced the crisis head on asking tough questions along the way. Very informative and highly recommend it.
Lee OD via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/16/21
As a strong Catholic & 4th Degree Knight of Columbus, I welcome this podcast with open ears and an open heart. These discussions and facts are very much necessary in order for the Church to continue its movement forward. And a special thank you for my two favorite Jewesses: Gina Grad...Read full review »

Really well done podcast on the sex abuse crisis. Honest and critical, compassionate and faithful. A light shining on a horrible darkness in the Catholic Church. Highly recommend for Catholics and non-Catholics alike trying to understand roots and next steps for the Catholic Church and the world...Read full review »

Thank you for this series and my thanks go to everyone involved. Such an important issue to be closely examined.
Julehu via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/26/20
I’m not a catholic and had always found stories of clerical sexual abuses very offensive. But even more so the cover up by the bishops. Priests are our children? Lord! Give me a break. But Crisis provided a new perspective for me. The disgust at the clerics remain and the opprobrium at the...Read full review »

Very well put together and laid out! Thank you for the efforts. This has to be talked about and addressed and this is top notch, greatly researched and real!
admklutz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/21/20
So far this is a really serious and rigorous look at the crisis, and covers new ground that I havent seen before — like the priest who in the sixties wanted to buy an island to house priests who had abused children. Altogether probably the beat coverage Ive come across to date, though the claims...Read full review »

Very informative and takes a balanced approach. Isn’t afraid to call balls and stiles against the church or specific people
panda express orange chicken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/28/20
This podcast is providing some of the most compelling coverage on the clergy sexual abuse crisis that can be found in the media today. Sexual abuse is a sin that can take place anywhere and within any institution. Covering up the problem compounds the sin of any individual's reprensible...Read full review »
cmstanford2019 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/20
Two things stand out about this generally well-done and informative podcast. One, that Tom Fox, masquerading as a journalist rather than the activist he was and is, is extremely dishonest. Fox and his paper were activists against orthodox Catholic moral teaching and were activists in promoting...Read full review »
Fr. Phil via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/20
See the wounded body of Christ. Taking a detailed look in to the scandal that has shaken the Church, this podcast is a must for healing to happen. We can not carry the cross of our time without knowing it’s heft and balance.
CustosProDomino via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/16/20
This podcast is for the determined faithful. Empathy for the priest and church very little for the victims. Apparently it is the fault of the laity. I’m glad I left.
Sammy430 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/20
“Crisis” is often difficult listening, but is profoundly necessary in these trying times & is a beautiful testament to God’s grace overcoming human sin & banality. “Crisis” takes an unflinching look @ how & why both clerical sexual abuse & the cover up happened, & how we as...Read full review »

Thanks so much for producing this. It’s so important, and this can help us more fully understand sexual abuse in the Church, and how we can keep it from happening in the future. This is a great resource, thankful to have it.
Dirty Harry via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/12/20
When I first heard about this podcast I thought it would be to detail the horrendous sex abuse that finally came out in the open after so many years of being hidden in the dark. In other words, I figured this podcast would be kind of like the “Spotlight” movie but in podcast form. But I was...Read full review »

This is a must-listen podcast for Catholics who are interested in reform and holiness in the Church. Well done.

Excellent presentation! Excellent work. Just excellent all around. Thank you for doing the work on this. It is jaw dropping!

Very informative
Jacdog12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/20
Doesn’t spend nearly enough time on the negligent bishops and seminary rectors that brought us to this place. The bishops get off with a slap on the wrist.
BenFischer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
It’s hard to hear, but unbelievably important to keep talking about. It is balanced, well produced, and compassionate. Well done.
Taylor Geiger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
I trust that the Truths shared here will be fruitful to all people of good will. This cancer has been with Catholics for many decades. The Church must commit to decades of penance, prayer, deep reflection, true humility and real reform. When will authentic holiness be seen by all who choose...Read full review »

You managed to give an objective view of a very difficult topic. You could mention how the Catholic Church have take a lot of blame as an institution because we keep records. Most institutions don’t keep them or not to the extent which Canon Law, the oldest system of law still in force, asks us...Read full review »

Important work. Well researched. Touching and moving without veering towards sensationalism.
Open Eyes Open Heart via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/20
The whole staff has obviously researched diligently. This podcast is tactfully done while pulling no punches. I knew about the crisis, but I didn’t have a thorough knowledge, nor, of course, the insights given by important people involved for years in this study. The host has the perfect...Read full review »

This is a well researched examination of the scourge of clergy sex abuse in the Catholic Church. The presentation blends compelling writing and delivery with a narrative that answers questions that have gone unanswered. Excellent work.

It’s difficult to say I’ve enjoyed this podcast, because it’s such a painful topic. I appreciate the thoroughness and candor of each episode. In particular, Episode 3’s focus on the John Jay Report was enlightening. I’m also grateful for the timing of the release of this effort - it’s crucial...Read full review »

I’m a survivor in St. Louis. I’ve tried to get help from the Archdiocese of St. Louis and have found that the ONLY thing their Assistance Coordinator will do for survivors is give them the name of a therapist if they don’t already have one. That’s it. They don’t pay for ANYTHING. Despite the...Read full review »
