Summary

In today’s episode, we’re chatting with Karna Lozoya, a veteran Catholic reporter with a nose for news and a passion for the truth. We talk all about her new podcast, Crisis, which explores the origins and reforms of the sexual abuse crisis within our church. I especially enjoyed hearing about Karna’s experience interviewing victims and how it impacted her views as a Catholic. This is a heavy topic handled with grace and compassion, and while it may frustrate you as it did me, I hope that it also empowers you to constantly speak the truth, no matter what the consequences may be.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Letters From a Catholic Feminist, our new biweekly newsletter. When the CFP finale airs in November, you can still get your Catholic feminism fix by reading Catholic essays, book roundups, guest articles, and more twice a month.

the announcement that this was the podcast last season. I was afraid that people were

going to be upset. I was afraid that people were going to

beg me not to end it. I was afraid of all kinds of things and I'm happy to

report that this community that has been built around the podcast really stood the test of something hard

that I had to share. I got so many like hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of

emails and D. Mams and Twitter messages and all kinds of things from so many

and I know I was unable to respond to everyone and I'm sorry for that but truly every single message was so kind and loving and meant the world to me and I'm just so grateful for this community for allowing me to have my dream job for the past four years and for really just being

When I say that I think the Lord wants me to do something,
