Out of the Fire: 20 Years After the ArchLou Clergy Sexual Abuse Scandal with Shannon Shaughnessy Age
On today's powerful episode, Shannon Shaughnessy Age tells her story of tremendous suffering and abuse at the hands of someone her entire family trusted, as well as how the hands of mercy guided her and her sister through the PTSD of therapy, justice, and reform. Her resilience and strength knows no bounds, and her army of support is heavenly to say the least. To become little children again, to maintain that childlike innocence within us---Shannon opens her heart of love and forgiveness just as Christ's heart was opened on Calvary---all to welcome the children home. Shannon's story will make you laugh, and cry, and laugh again. One of the most powerful messages to take from this will bring healing and hope to so many in the years of resurrection and redemption ahead of us in the Archdiocese of Louisville. It is absolutely packed with layers of meaning. What is the message?
It's simple: "The fire started in the confessional".
