A frank and open conversation with survivor, author, and activist Peter E. Saunders. Thank you, Pete, for sitting down for this interview with me and for sharing your thoughts so candidly.NOTE: at the time of recording this interview, Pope Francis had not yet passed away. However, aside from changing our references to him from the present to the past tense and removing all mention of anything he might do in the future, the overall perspective has remained.If you enjoy my work and have found it educational or transformational and would like to support me monetarily, you can buy me a coffee for $5 (thank you to everyone who has thoughtfully supported my work thus far): https://buymeacoffee.com/thedeepdiveproject [Disclosure: Some of the links below are affiliate links.
