Episode Details

Former Madison priest Andrew Showers has turned himself in after a new criminal complaint accused him of attempted child grooming and bail jumping — charges stemming from an undercover operation where an officer posed as a teen. Already arrested in 2025 for similar conduct involving a minor undercover officer, Showers was removed from public ministry then and officially dismissed from the clerical state by Pope Leo XIV this June. The Diocese reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on child safety, emphasizing mandatory background checks and urging reporting of any misconduct to authorities and church officials.
