Episode 9–How can community members heal from the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse issues?

Interview with Dr. Thomas G. Plante., Augustin Cardinal Bea, S.J. University Professor, Professor of Psychology and Religious Studies, and director of the Applied Spirituality Institute at Santa Clara University.

Dr. Plante and I discuss the psychological impact the Church’s sexual abuse issues can have on survivors of clergy sexual abuse, how we can better understand and help clergy who have offended vulnerable members of the Church heal, and most importantly, what we can learn from survivors of sexual abuse in order to heal and move forward as communities.
