Podcast: The Church’s #MeToo Moment, Israel, And Religion Reporting

SUBSCRIBE TO THE FEDERALIST RADIO HOUR HERE.

Emma Green is a reporter at The Atlantic who covers religion and has lived in Israel for the last year. She joins Ben Domenech on this episode of the Federalist Radio Hour to discuss the sexual assault allegations rising in the Catholic Church, the politics on the ground in Israel, and how religion impacts both American politics and institutions.
