This past Monday, I was honored to be invited to be on KFI 640 AM’s John and Ken Show to talk about MILLSTONE. Both John and Ken have been ardent supporters of victims of clergy sex abuse since they stood outside of the Los Angeles Cathedral almost 10 years ago and began reading leaked emails from Cardinal Mahony. The emails were explosive:

“In one, dated March 27, 2002, Mahony notes that the church has not reported three of the eight most abusive priests, one of whom was Baker. Mahony worries that if the district attorney finds this out, ‘I can guarantee you that I will get hauled into a grand jury proceeding and I will be forced to give all the names.’”And in another message dated April 1, 2002, Mahony suggests that the archdiocese issue a statement saying it cannot release the names or numbers of accused priests while the government is investigating. ‘Since that is weeks and months down the road, I hope interest would have waned by then,’ Mahony writes.”

John and Ken have remained steadfast in their fight to get Mahony and his successor to come clean about abuse. We had a great talk about the book, my own story, and the importance of the upcoming November 26 awareness event.
