#12- The Truth about Clergy Sex Abuse

When we discuss sexual abuse in the Church, there are many myths and obstacles we must overcome if we are get to the roots of the problem. For example, many people today probably think that abuse rates in the Church are as high as they have ever been and that the Church has done nothing to address the scandal. We examine this and other falsehoods with Bill Donohue.

Bill Donohue is the president of the Catholic League. He’s the author of several books, most recently The Truth about Clergy Sexual Abuse. Visit catholicleag

We talk about her with Rachel Fulton Brown.
