Religion & Spirituality
This week we'll discuss Pope Francis's recent Letter to the People of God on the crimes and grave disorders of clerical sex abuse. Our guests will include Fr. David Poecking of Pittsburgh and Boz Tchividjian, the Executive Director of GRACE NET.
We will begin with the Holy Father's reflection:
"The extent and the gravity of all that has happened requires coming to grips with this reality in a comprehensive and communal way. While it is important and necessary on every journey of conversion to acknowledge the truth of what has happened, in itself this is not enough. Today we are challenged as the People of God to take on the pain of our brothers and sisters wounded in their flesh and in their spirit. If, in the past, the response was one of omission, today we want solidarity, in the deepest and most challenging sense, to become our way of forging present and future history."
As is customary, we'll also have an update on the work of the American Solidarity Party.
Next week, we anticipate returning to our analysis of the UN Declaration on Human Rights.
