The arrest of Fr. Showers has renewed troubling questions about how the Diocese of Madison handled earlier warnings. @NatesMission called the Diocese’s response to survivor Patricia Moriarty's 2024 report “a textbook example of victim-blaming.”

Thank you Nate's Mission for making this film, a must see for all members of the church. The abuse crisis is a feature, not a bug of the organizational structure of the church. #starvethedsa
