The Catholic Church has been the center of a widespread scandal for a while now. In this episode, I am honored to be joined by Gemma Hoskins from the Netflix documentary "The Keepers" as we take a look at this widespread problem. The scandal runs deep, but we attempt to at least scratch the surface to provide an understanding of the history, present, and future of abuse at the hands of Catholic clergy.
