What this didn't really address was the floodgate opened up and showed just how pervasive all this abuse was around the WORLD, not just in Boston and the US. It was a global cancer and the list of countries and cities etc was shown in the end credits of the Spotlight film.
Jim Braude is one of the best in the business--and he knows how to hold a discussion on even this most difficult moment. And thank goodness for people like Phil Saviano, whose courage and tenacity informed everything that transpired about this horrendous scandal.
Australia’s Cardinal George Pell was convicted and sentenced to 7 years in jail but just recently his conviction was overturned and he was released. Pell knew about all the abuse in his many parishes and he hid and covered it all up for years. Eventually he himself was charged with sexually abusing two young boys, one who subsequently committed suicide. Pell’s free now but his career is finished and his an old man. He claims his innocence. So many victims across the world. Pell covered up so much abuse here and he participated in the abuse. The damage his done is irreversible.
I don't think that this went on because the bishops were ignorant of the harm done to children. I believe that the Church is full of corruption and blackmail which often prevents any of the guilty facing justice.
I mean that’s already been proven. There are copious documents that have shown that higher ups in the church actively tried to cover up the problem to save face. They put more value on the church’s public image than on the safety and well-being of children. Disgraceful. St Peter would be ashamed of these men.
When I was in a Catholic school many years ago, our Archbishop was driven around in a big black long Cadillac. Also he lived by himself with a housekeeper in a huge house with spires outside the city on a big expanse of land with trees. He set an atrocious example and lived in luxury.
It IS disgusting and it IS a slap in the face to survivors! How can Catholics continue to go to churches where this is covered up by leadership and no accountability? It is beyond me why there isn't a mass exodus of parishioners from the Catholic church. Is is possible the parishioners themselves are having the attitude of "Let sleeping dogs lie" because all these offenses did not involve their OWN family members? Those parishioners with that silence in essence become enablers themselves.
@@stephenbender7593 Jesus was a JEWISH preacher who did not invent Christianity, Paul did... If it were up to Jesus, Christians would still be following the Torah... BTW, if Jesus were alive today, I'm willing to bet that He would NOT have anything positive to say about the current crop of "Christians" or the "Church"...
Catholicism (the FIRST Christian institution) was the foundation of western civilization. The horrific abuse that has taken place was committed by a "relative" handful of wicked men who should be punished to the full extent of the law - but don't forget, there are hundreds of thousands of good priests in the world, and the Catholic congregation is 1.3 BILLION strong worldwide. The Catholic Church is still the largest institution helping the poor around the globe, where priests and nuns often place their own lives at risk in many third-word countries (and many priests and nuns have been murdered in the process). But answer this... if the same scandal was discovered about protestant pastors (and it still could be), would that be a good enough reason for protestants to stop worshiping, and would they stop going to their churches? I doubt it. And the same applies to other faiths. What is severely neglected is the genuine reason why this abuse took place. Freemasons tried for centuries to destroy the Catholic Church from without, and they constantly failed. So decades ago, they decided to change tactics and destroy it from within by infiltrating it with "their people". It worked. Those infiltrators over those many decades managed to work their way up the chain of command, hence the coverups by them. It would be wonderful if a group of dedicated journalists thoroughly investigated THAT and then made a movie about it, however, I doubt it will ever happen considering how many Freemasons exist in very high places, including Hollywood! Read “Infiltration” by Taylor R. Marshall. A book about how communist, Freemasons, and ped0philes infiltrated and took over the Catholic hierarchy.

The only thing he was entitled to was a pine box at an undisclosed location. That’s it. Nothing more. The money spent on his funeral should have gone to the victims if not organizations designed to help them find justice.
Why does this happen over and over agin around the world! Why top business persons, important persons taking the side of the perpetrators. They protect the abusers. All we who follow the true God can do is leave everything in God's very capable hands. God bless us all and safe us from these devils.

No Cardinal is poor, OR a good man. They're all wealthy, gluttonous liars.
Matthew 7:17 (KJV) Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. I encourage every Catholic around the globe to flee that system and seek out the one true savior of the world the Lord Jesus Christ through the word of God the Bible.

The Catholic Church is nothing but a haven for psychopathic pedophiles always has been always will be until she is burned up in hell Simply a bunch of child rapists under the guise of Christianity
As a Catholic, it upsets me greatly that he was protected by the Church. I love my faith and my prayerlife, sometimes it's really hard to remain a Catholic when you read how bishops and cardinals live in palaces with great wealth and privledge. Jesus lived with the poor and preached that rich man cannot get into the kingdom of heaven, couple that with the pain suffered by clerical abuse and the Church's inaction towards it, makes me wonder ifJesus was with us now on the earth, what would he say?
He is the leader of this cult. What did you expect? They are in pursuit of power not bringing people in love to God. It’s all about money, power and control. Look at the history of the beginning of the Catholic Church it’s full of murder and rape. Check it out it is easy to find.
Jesus did not sit on an earthly throne. Jesus did not instruct any apostle or any disciple or any believer/follower to sit on a throne. If He had done any of the above, surely such would have been crystal clear and found in His quoted words in the Bible.
Jesus said, "Those things whispered in the darkness will be shouted from the rooftops in the light." He also said that anyone who causes a little one to fall would be better off having a millstone tied around his neck and being thrown into the sea. The Roman catholic church is NOT Christian.....their traditions and teachings go directly against the Bible and the words of Christ...."Call NO man 'Father', for you have one Father, and He is in heaven." That's just one example; I could give dozens more. Read the Bible for yourself.
I really wish there was something to do to hurt those responsible for allowing these crimes to be perpetrated suffer and pay for this. Physically. Set up and inquisition. Hell they did it hundreds of years ago. A little payback is called for. Sickos. From the bishops on up they all deserve to pay.
Read The Alta Vendita which is the Permanent Instruction of the Freemasons on how to infiltrate and subvert the Catholic Church. The Devil is very clever and men can be very evil and have hated the Truth , i.e, The Catholic Faith, since the start of the Faith. Christ had Judas. We have many now and probably alot lot higher than 1 bad out of 12

All of this could have been avoided had the bishops addressed the sexual abuse in a timely, effective manner. But no: lie, deny, and fail to remember.
The flames of Hell were kindled a little hotter the moment Cardinal Law dropped dead.
