On this episode of the podcast, editors JD Flynn and Ed Condon discuss the week’s most compelling news stories, including recent developments on the McCarrick scandal (one year after the news of McCarrick’s misconduct first broke), and a Jesuit school in Indiana that can no longer call itself “Catholic” after defying the authority of the bishop. Then JD takes a page out of Carl’s book and plays a little game of “Yes or No,” and Ed plays “Say Something Nice."
