Welcome to The Huddle with Mo and Lo. Because some of the greatest life lessons happen in football we turned that into a show. Huddles are a time to come together to strategize, execute, spark creativity, learn, trust, grow and share. So huddle up!

Our focus on Midday today is the Attorney General's Report on Child Sexual Abuse in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.A warning to our listeners: for the rest of the hour, we're going to talk about child sexual abuse.Yesterday, Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown released the long-awaited Catholic clergy sexual abuse report. It chronicles more than 80 years of abuse by more than 150 Catholic clergy members, seminarians, deacons and Archdiocese employees, and their victimization of more than 600 children and young people. The Catholic Church is by no means the only religious faith institution which has had clergy break trust and act criminally with their congregants, nor are religious institutions the only professions in which abusers prey on children. But the Catholic Church is the sole focus of this particular report. Here's part of what AG Brown had to say yesterday when he announced the report's release: “Today, certainly in Maryland, is a day of reckoning and a day of accounting…“The incontrovertible history uncovered by this investigation is one of pervasive, pernicious and persistent abuse by priests and other Archdiocese personnel. It's also a history of repeated cover-up of that abuse by the Catholic Church hierarchy…” "What was consistent throughout the stories was the absolute authority and power these abusive priests and the church leadership held over survivors, their families and their communities. The report seeks to document this long and sordid history..." "While it may be too late for the survivors to see criminal justice served, we hope that exposing the archdiocese's transgressions to the fullest extent possible will bring some measure of accountability and perhaps encourage others to come forward." — Md Attorney General Anthony Brown, speaking Wednesday in Annapolis. The report was written by Elizabeth Embry, who worked on it for four years. Ms. Embry is now a member of the House of Delegates. She will be joining Tom to talk about the report and its findings here on Midday next week, after the General Assembly Session has concluded. The abuse described in the report goes back to the 1940s. Archbishop William Lori, in a letter to Catholics published yesterday offered an apology, acknowledged the, quote, “reprehensible time in the history of this Archdiocese,” and asserted that since the 1990s, the church has been more transparent and cooperative with law enforcement to remove abusers from its ranks. We invited Archbishop Lori to join our conversation. He declined our invitation. Today is a holy day in the church calendar, Maundy Thursday, and the Archbishop's spokesperson cited a schedule conflict.Today, we'll hear from some of the survivors of the abuse that is described in the report, from reporters who have been covering this story, and from a Doctor who treats child sexual abusers. Joining Tom in Studio A to discuss the AG's report are Scott Maucione, WYPR's health reporter, and Emily Hofstaedter, a WYPR general assignment reporter. We also hear a recorded comment from Dylan Segelbaum, a reporter with WYPR's news partner, The Baltimore Banner. Later in the program, Tom is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Letourneau. She's the director of the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. If you are a victim of abuse, and you are ready to come forward you can report past abuse by members of the clergy or anyone else by calling the Attorney General's Office at 410-576-6312 or emailing report@oag.state.md.us. In addition, there are a variety of local and national resources available for survivors of sexual violence: Baltimore Child Abuse Center at Center for Hope: 410-601-HOPE; https://lbhstaging22.lifebridgehealth.org/CenterforHope/BaltimoreChildAbuseCenterServices.aspx Center for Family and Traumatic Stress at Kennedy Krieger Institute: 443-923-5980; https://www.kennedykrieger.org/patient-care/centers-and-programs/traumatic-stress-center Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault: https://mcasa.org/ Male Survivors: https://malesurvivor.org/ Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network: https://www.rainn.org/ Survivor Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP): https://www.snapnetwork.org/ CORRECTION: During today's live broadcast, we heard a clip of a woman named Maria Smith. Ms. Smith was incorrectly identified; she is a Catholic parishioner, not a survivor of sexual abuse. We apologize for the error.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 5 of our Building Talks Net Zero podcast series features an interview with Ben Houchen, Tees Valley mayor, on his ambitions to make the region a hub for the government's so-called “green industrial revolution”. Houchen is a strong advocate for hydrogen production and carbon capture and storage technology, and in this episode he criticises recent Whitehall policy that delayed any decision on whether to develop hydrogen as a fuel source until 2026. We hear why he is so critical of the strategic decision to back heat pumps and why he calls for a “technology agnostic” approach to net zero research and development. We also hear from Maria Smith, who is director of sustainability and physics at Buro Happold and has been involved in the Built Environment Declares recent survey of the sectors attitudes to radical net zero policies. Simon Wyatt, partner at Cundall, provides our regular jargon buster session, this time explaining the term carbon sequestration, the process of capturing and storing carbon dioxide which is most commonly associated with trees growing and then turning those trees into timber.

Completing the tree-filled trilogy, the AR turns to focus on timber, our fundamental link between trees and architecture. Timber, especially mass timber - is seen to be one of the most ecologically sustainable building materials and an obvious alternative in construction. But when a virtuous material is used to replicate capitalist models, the result can exacerbate, rather than counter the climate catastrophe. Scientist Suzanne Simard, architecture historian Erin Putalik and engineer Maria Smith share their projects, voices and perspectives on how we see, build and ultimately grow trees to operate in the same world that preserves and produces this essential building block of our existence. Hosted by Sabrina Syed. AR Ecologies, a podcast by The Architectural Review, explores the tension between architecture and ecology through critical positions. Instead of standalone interviews, each episode weaves curious and critical voices together to meet, discuss and give space to perspectives outside an architectural orbit. The first series revolves around trees, an audio counterpart to the AR October 2021 issue, available now.

Can designing with trees result in more than just salad garnish? In the second episode of AR Ecologies, the conversation unpicks architects' obsession with trees in order to progress beyond superficial greenwashing. Scientist Suzanne Simard, architect Paulo Tavares and engineer Maria Smith get below the roots to reveal how to design for trees to thrive, not perform.

In this episode of True Wealth, the series finale, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith discuss God's Justice and Mercy. Dave describes mercy as God's dome covering us and sheltering us. If we leave God's mercy and depart from the dome we then encounter God's justice. Link to an amazing conversion story - a turning to God's mercy:"Jewish Harvard Professor Roy Schoeman Becomes Convinced Catholic"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeDzSfquYcs&ab_channel=SalvationisfromtheJews

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith discuss the recent beatification (October 10, 2020) of Blessed Carlo Acutis who died in 2006 at the age of 15. Blessed Carlo had a profound love for Our Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and before he died he set up a website of Eucharistic Miracles all over the world. (October 12, 2020)Two short videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFmj9Fw6Acw&ab_channel=EWTNhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf_Zuq2OzXQ&ab_channel=EWTN

Could you stand the Gaze of God peering into the depths of your soul? It is what will happen to each one of us at the moment of our death. For Father Kevin, a priest in a southeastern Connecticut parish, this encounter with God - some call it an "illumination of conscience" - happened during his lifetime, in his 20's. This very real and very personal experience, this face to Face meeting with Our Lord, took him from being a bartender and bouncer to eventually becoming a diocesan Roman Catholic priest. In this episode of True Wealth, Dave Basconi and Maria Smith also discuss Father Federico's video (link below) on confession, titled "How to Have a Clear Conscience," in which Father Federico tells us it's not enough to stop doing sinful things - although it is certainly a crucial beginning - but we must also grow in knowledge, we must educate and form our conscience, and grow in virtue. "Virtue is a stable disposition; it is excellence that has become a habit."How do we form our conscience and grow in virtue? The Catechism (1785) tells us, "In the formation of conscience the Word of God is the light for our path..."Father Federico video "How to Have a Clear Conscience" (and attain joy and peace of heart!):https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?v=325585442050321&ref=watch_permalink

In the Gospel reading of Sunday, September 20th, a landowner pays a day's wages to all his hired workers, the same wage to those who worked all day and to those who worked but briefly towards the end. Is this fair? Dave Basconi brings out a great point that this landowner pays everyone a day's wage so that each laborer could take care of himself and his family, so that no one would be left in poverty. (September 28, 2020)

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith present on growth in holiness. To grow in holiness is a two-step process: first the natural or physical and then the spiritual or supernatural. Saint Paul tells us, in 1 Cor 15:46, "But it is not the spiritual which is first but the natural, and then the spiritual." It is natural to work, to labor, and the greatest labor we can do is prayer, which is both a natural and a supernatural work. Everyone is called to labor in the Lord's Vineyard. (September 21, 2020)

The Liturgy of the Eucharist comes after the Liturgy of the Word.During the Eucharist time collapses - we are there, at the foot of the Cross! In the video (link below) Father says that after we receive Communion and go back to our seat this is the moment we can obtain anything we ask for in prayer. There are many good things to pray for, for ourselves and our loved ones, for physical healing as well as emotional, mental and spiritual healing. The best thing to pray for is to know and do God's Will. Ask Our Lord sincerely to desire His Will at that moment and always. God has one plan for us: Plan A: Become a Saint!Plan B: God has no plan B. Neither should we:)Link to the video we refer to (it starts at the 6:00 minute spot):https://www.facebook.com/stbridgetofswedenparish/videos/3047421152052897It's an excellent presentation and explanation of the Mass by Father Frederico.

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith ask if you were asked to define what the Mass is in one sentence what would you say? Dave says, "The Mass is a mission to take us from a state of sin to a state of grace." Maria says, "The Mass is both the re-enactment of Holy Thursday - Good Friday and also the transportation which carries us into our eternal home."Link to the video we refer to (it starts at the 6:00 minute spot):https://www.facebook.com/stbridgetofswedenparish/videos/3047421152052897It's an excellent presentation and explanation of the Mass by Father Frederico.

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith speak on Acedia, also known as Sloth, one of the seven deadly sins. They also go off on tangents and so their beginning conversation centers quite a bit on painting. More house painters are men but more women enjoy painting the rooms in their homes. Why is this?And yes, a person can be both very active and "lazy" because the spiritual sin of acedia or sloth is doing anything or everything that you should not be doing while neglecting the one thing you should be doing.

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith touch upon various topics: Gratitude and appreciation, sacrifice, the problem of evil, conquering fear through love, pleasure vs happiness and joy, love as the right response to people, and the truth as a source of great power - it hits a nerve, it plants a seed that may be dormant, even for a very long time, but is always waiting to sprout and blossom.

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith present on the question of theodicy. If there is a deity, a god, and if that deity is "good" why is there evil? Is the "god" not good enough or strong enough? A weak god... There is a God, He is All-Good and All-Powerful, so much so that He can and He will bring a much greater good out of any and every evil. He has done it in the past, He is doing it now, and He will continue to until the end of time, until we go to the "happily ever after" place where He will wipe away every tear and suffering and evil will cease for all eternity.

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Baconi and Maria Smith talk about an intimate connection between the crosses in our lives and "new life." Intimate connections - relationships - is what the human person is created for, intimacy is the very essence of man and woman. Intimacy first and foremost with God, and then with others. The lack of an intimate relationship with God and others is at the root of so many (all?) problems, it is the cause of despair. Intimacy with God and others is the source of hope and love - of "New Life." (July 27, 2020)

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith take on two seemingly contrasting topics but somehow tie them together:)1. A totalitarian government inflicts pain on the people to get them to "believe" in its principles. However, Jesus took the pain upon himself for people to believe in his message of love.2. Over the weekend Maria heard the personal testimony of a local priest who experienced a living encounter with Our Lord. Father Kevin said that this profoundly emotional experience was "simultaneously the greatest moment in my life and the most sorrowful." He was shown the true state of his soul and the tremendous love Jesus had for him. Although Father did not use this term himself, it was what some call an "illumination of conscience."

In this episode of True Wealth, Catholic evangelists Dave Basconi and Maria Smith present that forgiveness is not optional, it's a requirement: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Forgiveness is a process, not a one time event. Forgiveness requires one person, reconciliation requires both the person who has done the wrong as well as the one wronged. If the one who did the wrong refuses to admit and/or be repentant, there can be no reconciliation, yet forgiveness must still be offered. (July 13, 2020)
