About Podcast

Descent Into Light courageously unpacks stories often left untold—stories of adults harmed within religious settings, including everything from sexual abuse to the broader reality of spiritual abuse. Co-creators Sister Theresa Aletheia Noble and Sister Danielle Victoria Lussier draw on their experiences to illustrate the broader picture of how adult abuse unfolds in spiritual settings, focusing specifically on the setting of the Catholic Church.
