The problem of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church has been widely reported. But for a long time, there was just one journalistic voice crying in the wilderness, the National Catholic Reporter. This week on the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher talks with Tom Fox, editor of the publication during those early years of exposure. They explore the experience of trying to cover the problem when others wouldn’t touch it, and how it is being dealt with today. They also discuss the worldwide phenomenon of Pope Francis.
