A Letter to the Woman Processing Catholic Sex Abuse Scandals // Karna Lozoya

In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with Karna Lozoya and we’re talking about a brand new podcast that she’s hosting: “Crisis: Clergy Abuse in the Catholic Church.”

Karna’s podcast shares about the sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church: its origins, characters, causes and reforms. She interviews bishops, survivors, reporters, lawyers, and social workers to help navigate a a systemic problem that has plagued the Catholic Church.

Conversations about this topic are challenging but absolutely necessary in a journey towards healing - and Karna navigates those conversations with grace and the feminine genius.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the reality of sex abuse within the Catholic Church and don’t know where to look to find the whole story, sister, this letter is for you.

• Listening to and honoring the stories of sexual abuse survivors
