Healing from Abuse


Some 20,000 Americans allege that they have been abused by priests in the United States from 1950 to 2016. This week we speak with Fr. Thomas Berg, author of Hurting in the Church about a way forward from this. Emilie brings us the news, Billy has a question about saints and we reconnect with PJ Anderson who has a new album, Light and Dark.
