An unlikely friendship transforms the gun debate
From Stephanie Lepp | Part of the Reckonings series | 37:50
In the mid-90’s, Dr. Mark Rosenberg was leading gun violence research at the CDC. Republican Arkansas Congressman Jay Dickey, the NRA’s so-called 'point man on the Hill,’ spearheaded legislation to defund it. Dickey and Rosenberg were on diametrically opposed sides of the gun debate, but fate took a twist. Through unexpected experiences, they managed to become friends, create common ground, and are now jointly calling on Congress to restore CDC funding for gun violence research. Their story is a rare source of hope within one of America’s most polarizing issues: guns.

A perpetrator priest speaks out — in dialogue with a survivor
From Stephanie Lepp | Part of the Reckonings series | 01:02:43
As a young priest, he sexually abused boys in his parish. In high school, she was sexually abused by her Catholic teacher, a former nun. Today, they’re working together to bring restorative justice to the Church. NOTE: Highly recommend *listening* to the piece, rather than just reading this description!
As a young priest, Gil Gustafson sexually abused four boys in his parish. When he was confronted about his behavior, he confessed, was sentenced to 1.5 years in state prison, and embarked on a decades-long journey of recovery and reparation.
Nearby in the Twin Cities, when Susan Pavlak was in high school, she was sexually abused by her Catholic teacher, a former nun. Years later, when she finally saw her abuse for what it was, she embarked on her own path of healing and justice – including a face-to-face meeting with her abuser.
In 2006, Gustafson and Pavlak met at a conference on preventing sexual abuse. Pavlak spoke on a panel, and Gustafson introduced himself to her afterwards. They realized they were both interested in restorative justice. That encounter sparked an unlikely collaboration that continues to this day – between a perpetrator and survivor of clergy sex abuse who are at the forefront of bringing restorative justice to the Catholic Church.

In 1995, Douglas A. Nadeau of Marblehead, Massachusetts underwent a pallidotomy at Mass. General Hospital, an operation designed to eradicate neurons in his brain that no longer responded to dopamine, the naturally-created chemical that facilitates movement. Nine years earlier, while on a business trip, Doug had been bitten by an insect and developed strange Parkinsonian symptoms, such as the inability to keep his eyes open while talking. These caused numerous problems for Doug, a high-powered corporate lawyer in Boston. Over time, the symptoms worsened until Doug lost his mobility at night and was reduced to a hospital bed. Following the procedure, in which Doug practically walked off the operating table, he found he was unable to inhibit certain antisocial tendencies that, prior to the surgery, he'd kept repressed. To make matters worse, his surgery turned out to be a failure, and his symptoms returned one by one. The next nine years tested the boundaries and limits of love, marriage, and tolerance, both within the family and in the Nadeaus' wide circle of friends and acquaintances.
