Wholly Unraveled: Trapped in a Catholic Cult

from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Keele Burgin

Guilty. Yes, I'm totally, 100% guilty as charged. If you look at the collection of Common Threads programs we have here in the vault, you'll notice more than a few focus on cults. I am just so fascinated with the sociological phenomenon of people giving up everything valuable in their lives to follow a charismatic leader off the edge of the earth. Well, this story is kind of that. Keele Burgin provides us with a heart rending account of her childhood spent in a family mesmerized by the promises of rewards for living a "fully Catholic" life in these 2019 episodes. Theme music "Nigal."
