Episode 137: Thomas Merton's Betrayers, an update with Hugh Turley Artwork

CAM podcast

Catholics Against Militarism (CAM) is an informal, grassroots, Internet-based movement of lay Catholics that seeks to identify and respectfully challenge militaristic attitudes in the U.S. Catholic Church. We conduct interviews with Catholics and other Catholic groups who are: 1) successfully registering dissent at the parish level, 2) raising awareness of the dangers of militarism through dialogue with fellow believers, and 3) spurring deeper, more honest reflection on the role of violence in our world.

Episode 137: Thomas Merton's Betrayers, an update with Hugh Turley

December 09, 2025 • Ellen • Season 1 • Episode 137

In 2019, I interviewed Hugh Turley about the book he wrote with his co-author, David Martin, "The Martyrdom of Thomas Merton: An Investigation." In 2023, Turkey and Martin published a follow-up: "Thomas Merton's Betrayers: The Case Against Abbot James Fox and author John Howard Griffin." Mr. Turley is back to tell us about the latest book and to give us some updates on the latest news about the investigation, new artistic ventures thalami to bring the story of Merton's death to light, and a possible cause for canonization.
