This Nightmare

Description
Ep2: "This nightmare," is how Fr. Tom Doyle referred to the events that led up to, and were encapsulated by, the movie SPOTLIGHT. The problem is that, for survivors at least, "This nightmare" is far from over. The Pennsylvania grand jury report of August 2018 led to a flurry of actions by the Catholic Church and (arch)dioceses in the United States, as they tried to make it clear that things were different. Promises belied by the events of the 2018 Mass of Reparation, and encapsulated in the cover art for the Sacrificed podcast, and which make clear the reality for and plight of survivors of the Catholic sex abuse crisis. Still. Despite SPOTLIGHT, the Pennsylvania grand jury report, VOS ESTIS, and everything. Which makes clear the problem. If the Catholic Church can do this survivors, what else can it justify and rationalize doing? To children most of all? --- This episode is sponsored by ยท Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sacrificed/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sacrificed/support
