Has anyone seen this movie yet? My husband and I rented it last night and it was a vey disturbing movie of a true story regarding Catholic priests that were homosexual & pedaphiles. They sexually abused young boys at pre-puberty ages. It happened in Massachussetts in the mid 60s and news came about about this all over our country and world around 2002.
What really was discouraging about this movie was the coverup by the Pope & Cardinal by trying to bribe the Plaintiffs with money to quiet them. That was unbelievable! Hearing Bishops and priests curse in the movie and playing corporate politics was a real eye-opener!! It just shows that ugly politics and greed is everywhere, not just outside of churches. At the end, the movie had notes about how the Vatican proposed a one-strike rule but still that rule has never been enforced to this day.
Back then, homosexuals who were pedophiles were allowed to practice priesthood and were protected or just moved from church to church as they got caught. There has been numerous of trials since then and so far, the Vatican has paid out over $85 million to the abused victims from court settlements.
My husband and I were talking about it this morning and we wonder how many more victims are there in other denominations that could also be affected. It is just so sad. I would like everyone to join me in praying for those victims all over the world who were abused from the the religious ministries.
As believers of God, all of us need to be extremely cautious and proactive to deal with the sins around us and do our part to protect the innocence of our children in the world.
