“I listened to this podcast while going through RCIA, to learn more about this painful chapter in church history. It’s powerful and well made. I think of the quote “what’s mine to do, and no one else’s” at least once a week. Highly recommend.”

“I listened to the survivor stories and their testimony was heartbreaking but I am grateful they shared their struggle to reveal the truth.
I hope this podcast helps challenge men who want to be priests to get their minds in the right track.”

“Listening to Deliver Us was akin to eating an over cooked, soggy serving of vegetables. I know it’s good for me, but it’s hard to swallow. Yet, mixed in there are spoonfuls if well salted, peppered and buttered morsels that make the distasteful worth eating. The podcast anticipated every question...”Read full review »

“Every episode left me with new insights, but I felt most of the information was already known to anyone well-read on the crisis. This podcast was good, but left me with some regrets. Wish it addressed the 1985 document alerting bishops to child sex abuse in the Church. Wish they put greater...”Read full review »

“This podcast has got some compelling elements. But, only a few laity will listen to. Most active Catholics only hear the PR spin put out by their diocese. Shows like this are off limits to most Catholics because they choose ignorants over knowledge. It's to painful to be informed about the...”Read full review »

“I am a Catholic Convert (2003) and came across this listening to another podcast.

I get that the host is still “religious” it would be nice not to have that pushed on you. Religion is a choice, you are...”Read full review »

“Thanks. Keep doing this job. It is helping me to process and to pray. Two notes: 1/ I was not able to complete the Fortney sisters episode. 2/ the last tow episode were not the best, they were confusing. As this really is. But everything else was useful, clear, and needed.”

“This excellent podcast helped me to realize that there are other lifelong Catholics who, like me, struggle to remain in the Church despite all the hypocrisy and nastiness coming from some of the clerical elite.
I’d be gone if it wasn’t for Pope Francis.
