Archdiocese of New Orleans

  • Summary

  • Welcome to Pelican Briefs, your go-to podcast for diving deep into the most pressing issues in Louisiana. In this episode, hosts Charles Miller and Etosha McGee tackle a deeply serious and sensitive topic: the ongoing investigation into the Archdiocese of New Orleans and the alarming allegations of child abuse that have rocked our community. [TRIGGER WARNING] This discussion involves distressing details about systemic abuse and cover-ups within the Archdiocese. Over the past four years, the legal proceedings have revealed a staggering amount of hidden abuse, financial expenditures exceeding $36 million, and a case duration that's twice the national average. As former members of the Catholic community, this topic hits close to home for both Charles and Etosha. We share our personal reflections on the church's failure to acknowledge and address these heinous acts and discuss the cultural and personal impacts on our community. Join us for this essential conversation as we uncover the truth and discuss the future implications for the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
