Excellent movie: "Deliver Us from Evil"

I caught this movie last night:

Absolutely amazing and very disturbing. This Catholic priest was shuffled around California by the now Cardinal Mahoney and ended up abusing more than 100 little girls and young boys.

Then knew about him for years....knew what he was doing and sent him around to a new parrish each time. The pain and the destruction for the victims and their families is heart-wrenching. It's total ruination for entire families.

Besides the crimes and the pain it caused the most stunning part of the movie is the mafia-like stonewalling by the church hiarchy. Even now it continues.

in truth, i am sad from the children, what not even he can forgive i am sure, is that he did this to himself...

From watching the movie, I don't think the b@stard has any appreciation for the hurt he's caused. He seems to be enjoying his life just fine in Ireland. He's strolling the lanes quite freely, pausing to enjoy the sight of children playing.

I hope this movie makes things a little more uncomfortable for him. He deserves to be watched like a hawk.

And some leaders in the Catholic church deserve to be jailed for gross negligence and obstruction.

On one hand he doesn't believe he has anything wrong and on the other he says the church should have done something if they thought he was doing something wrong.I not sure which is worse,stonewalling by The Catholic Church or the utter blindness or denial of the priest.He sounds like a sociopath and there is no cure for that. I know i'll catch some flak for this,but it is cases like this that highlight the apostasy of the hierarchy of Catholicism.
