YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFive months after the release of the Pennsylvania Grand Jury report, the Catholic Church is facing a number of investigations and many calls for transparency. Dioceses and religious orders have begun releasing the names of credibly accused clergy. However, questions have been raised about whether or not the grand jury report itself was misleading, in an extensive piece from Peter Steinfels, former religion reporter for the New York Times, published in Commonweal. We speak with Peter Steinfels and Kathleen McChesney, a retired FBI agent who works with the U.S. bishops on child and youth protection, about how to achieve transparency and accuracy in understanding the history of abuse in the church.
Join the conversation with Kathleen McChesney, Peter Steinfels and Michael O’Loughlin, National Correspondent for America. The conversation will be moderated by Sam Sawyer, S.J., Executive Editor at America.
