Catholics get away from it again!
The older I get in my life and the more news is freely accessible and people are publicising truthful factual material in great content in context as this podcast.
It has come to my attention the crimes of the Catholic Church in the form of paedophila & murder is a total scandal and insult to society that such a so called holy organisation still till this day hasn’t be held accountable for the lives they have destroyed and the crimes they have committed.
Please keep the great podcast up bringing to surface and the facts in such a way it tells the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth through evidence that you’d have to be a complete moron not to see it.

You are doing what DOZENS of men have failed to do. Why????
Captivating
One of the best produced podcasts I’ve heard in a long time. Thanks for highlighting the injustices of the unsolved murder of Maria James. I hadn’t heard about this case beforehand I’m such detail and I’m glad it has brought some attention to it again. Hoping the James brothers get the answers they need soon.
