The Truth About Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church (Ep. 011)

There are many rumors surrounding sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, but finding clear statistics about it can be surprisingly difficult. In Episode 011 of A Door of Hope, Kay and Kerry take a deep dive into the reality of sexual abuse within religious settings. They talk about the complicated position many survivors find themselves in when their abuse comes from someone who has spiritual authority in the church. It takes significant courage and strength to speak up or report the abuse when leadership is involved.  Confronting this kind of abuse isn’t easy, and survivors are often shamed or gaslit into silence. But telling the truth, even when it may come at great cost, can be the first step toward freedom and healing.   Chapters: 01:24 Sexual Abuse in the Church 02:44 Stats & Facts 07:29 Healing After Injustice 08:59 More Statistics 16:31 Cover-Ups and Closed Ranks 18:40 It’s Not Just Children 22:24 Abuse in Religious Settings 25:14 Speaking the Truth 28:46 Overcoming Inner Conflict After Abuse About the Hosts: Kay Tolman and Kerry Hansher are both survivors of Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA). Beginning in childhood, the ritualistic trauma they endured led to a long and difficult journey toward healing, marked by struggles with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). Through many years of walking in healing and restoration with the Lord, Kay and Kerry have found freedom—and now dedicate their lives to helping other survivors who have been ignored, shamed, or ridiculed. Using the freedom God has given them, they offer hope, understanding, and practical support to those navigating this deeply complex and often misunderstood trauma.
