“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.”

“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.”

“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.

““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 »

“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 »
