CGiii Comment
2014 saw the resignations of two VIP Catholics...
The pope...because, as he said, he was too old - pull the other one.
The other...the vile and contemptuous, not forgetting hypocritical, O'Brien.
In light of these resignations, this film (made before them) has a resonance that will scream conspiracy.
The evil that priests are capable of...how long can this institution withstand the constant battering of scandal and criminality? Obviously, the vatican has friends in high places...those who turn a blind, blinkered eye. The only pope to resign in 600 years...surely, because...his blinkers fell off!
After watching this - the reason becomes oh so clear.
A disturbing, powerful and revelatory film. Catholics will not like it - in the slightest.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Alex Gibney explores the charged issue of pedophilia in the Catholic Church, following a trail from the first known protest against clerical sexual abuse in the United States and all the way to the Vatican.
