“These are heavy stories” August 04, 2022
For ten years religion reporter Michael O’Loughlin covered the Catholic beat for America Magazine, a Jesuit publication.  His coverage led him to question an unexamined chapter of church history: the Church’s role at the height of the AIDS crisis.  O’Loughlin shares what he learned and how that painful period of suffering, loss, and anger led to a shift inside and outside the Church to make it more welcoming.

He is the author of Hidden Mercy: AIDS, Catholics, and the Untold Stories of Compassion in the Face of Fear.
