The Waves: Cafeteria Catholics Can Support Abortion Rights

On this week’s episode of The Waves, Slate senior producer Cheyna
Roth is joined by staff writer Molly Olmstead to talk about the
much-hyped threat against the Catholic Church in the wake of Roe’s
dismantling. They talk about Molly’s piece, “Is the Catholic Church
Under Attack” and where the vandalism against churches stacks up
against other religious persecution. Then they take a look at
“Cafeteria Catholics” - those who follow the religion, but not all
the teachings at the top of the male hierarchy.
