What Hollywood and Washington Can Learn from the Catholic Church About Sexual Abuse

The political and cultural worlds in America are currently reeling after a flood of allegations of sexual harassment and abuse against powerful actors, producers, and politicians. But even with news coverage, hashtags, and firings, will the attitudes that allowed this behavior to fester for decades ultimately change for the better? The Catholic Church is an example of an institution that initiated lasting and drastic changes against abusive environments and behavior. Contrary to popular belief, the Church has made enormous strides within the last decade in efforts to combat sexual abuse. In this episode, Bishop Wall and special guest Elizabeth Terrill, who assists survivors of abuse in the Diocese of Gallup, discuss the ways in which the Catholic Church is fighting back against sexual abuse and harassment.
