It's not that simple. Like a private detective the journalist only focuses on one investigation at a time, the cops on the other hand have to deal with dozens of investigations at one time and they simply don't have the manpower to do that. I'm not making excuses for the cops, I'm just explaining the sad reality of the situation.

The bulls are still very strong and active and with the recent halving, the price of bitcoin has set a new highs this year 2020 as predicted by professional binary analyst, such as Mr Richard Bruce of Binary Trade Options. What this indicates is that now is the perfect time to accumulate and increase your portfolio either through dollar-cost averaging or trading.

Especially when the cops and assistant DA back in 1962 basically allowed The Catholic Church leaders to walk right out of the police prescient a pedophile priest into a getaway limo (mafia-like)....while the mom of the kids who were molested was basically 'guilt-tripped' into keeping silent/sweeping what happened under the rug (under the pretense that The Church needed protecting). Kids getting molested by powerful religious leaders.....religious leaders covering up for their priests....cops and prosecutors (and even judges) turning the other way (acting like they didnt see/hear anything) FOR MANY YEARS! People in law enforcement expect the public to hold them in awe. Why? When it really matters (like when priests are molesting/raping little boys year after year)....law enforcement turned the other way/swept it under the rug....while the lives of many of these poor kids were ruined. Protect and serve...my A##!!!!!

Hi Catherine, I pray that you may hear the voice of Jesus who also will give you deliverance from all the things your past life has been and be a comfort for you. "My peace I give unto you" may the Lord guide you alway. My prayers for you too sister
@@jesseincognito. oh yes how true you are, I'm in the U.K and we have a serious issue regarding this . .. in one small town 1500 girls were abused. . and a gentleman named Andrew Norfolk exposed how large the problem was and still is. . . he worked for the Times in London . . . After he blew the lid off they think 1 million young girls were and are being abused. How grim
Are conservatives the ones teaching sex-ed in kindergarten? Are conservatives the ones who thought up story time with trannys? Ask yourself how many conservatives were at Diddy's parties
If I can give this movie 10 stars, I would!!!! WONDERFUL film, just got the chance to finally watch it this morning. Probably one of the most deserving Oscars in 2016 that they had in a very, very long time.
Right here the work and the balls it took to go against the Catholic Church. Is astonishing none the less. The lives you ALL have saved should be worth a year and a half with no bitchin. I live in Albany right around the corner from where a few of theses Priest went to sick leave, the Catholic Church is very powerful out there in the real world the one thing they didn’t count on was you all and the persistence. The journalism and I mean journalism that you don’t see much of was spot on❤❤. The pen is much mightier than the sword. Even today there are angels in heaven who carry savage weapons. Thank you for ur time
Thank you for your hard work. Investigative journalism has never been more important than it is now. I hope all news organizations will look to your example, as we weather this war on the press.
I saw the film when it was released and I've seen it 4 times since. The story is intriguing and the commitment, skill and energy of the Spotlight team is hugely impressive. That they made an incredible contribution to society by exposing the industrial scale criminality of the Catholic Church is just obvious. But, by their actions, they prevented countless other children from being harmed by Catholic priests. The Spotlight team are truly heroic. But the fight goes on. The recent directive from the Pope that all cases of alleged child abuse should be reported up the line to the Church authorities - and not the police! - shows that the Church is still intent on covering things up. Any parent who suspects any wrongdoing should go to the police - even the Boston police who, presumably, have now got the message.
I'm not Catholic never have been. god bless you for exposing & uncovering this filthy simmering story of sexual crimes against children committed by priests. I wasn't victimized but am seethingly angry at the scandal. i understand Boston is very strongly influenced by the Catholic Church. i was distracted by September 11th and never read your stories but i would love to. you are true heroes for having done this.
@@homeofthemad3044he can say whatever he likes. blaming god only puts the responsibility elsewhere. i bet u the priests did the exact same thing. PEOPLE ARE EVIL. god has nothing to do woth it
I grew up in Boston's parochial schools from 1961 thruough 1973. Father Mahan was the priest in charge of us altar boys, the older guys called him Father Mahandjob, I didn't even know what that meant. They knew about these guys, and, let them ply the evil trade.
Great to see them still going especially in a time when more and more investigative journalists are being laid off or moved back to general city room reporting
I've watched this movie 5 times and it confirmed what I always suspected; totally changed my beliefs about religion...thankyou Boston Globe for your hard work and diligence...

I don't know how much have I been re-watch Spotlight, it gave me a mood booster to do a good job. I'm not a journalist, but I wanted to be one when in high school. That or a script writer. Now I'm working as a content marketing in short film industry, one of my 'child' is a special articles called 'Spotlight' that giving a voice to short filmmakers here in Indonesia. Btw, we name the section way before I even know about this great team or watched the film 😂. So for me, Spotlight is the best film that portrayed the real life of investigation journalist. I might will never be like them, but watching this video give me an inspiring thought of how amazing the impact of journalism. We need more journalist like this, especially in this era where hoax and fake news are spreading fast like a fire in the forest. Very much respect for what are they doing until now!!
I’ve watched it like 5 times. I agree with you, it gave me a mood booster too during my criminology master’s degree work. So inspiring that they worked so hard to bring this horrific story to light, for the victims.
The Boston Globe will forever be in every persons heart. I hope they will never become like the NY Post pushing false narratives.Spotlight is by far a true gem and timeless film.
Spotlight @ the Boston Globe is the heigharchy of investigative journalism.

Sincere thanks from Canada 🇨🇦 7:21
Thank you Boston Globe Spotlight team as well as all those unknown journalists who do the same job. You all are the reason bad people can't get away with things. You are truly bringing things to the light. Thank you for protecting us from harm.
Came here after watching Spotlight for the second time. Great people, and a great film. Minor bit of negativity - I wish there wasn't always music soaring in the background whilst these people spoke. It's not necessary and is a bit offputting.
Same as you sir, I too came here after my second go at the movie. I thought the music was pretty subtle and not disturbing at all. In my opinion, it, along with the cinematography, masterfully set the movie's pace.
January 6, 2002 The Boston Globe published the most important piece of investigative journalism in the history of journalism 📰 All roads lead to Rome …
The movie Spotlight is one of my all time favorite movies ever. We watched it in my Narrative Film course in college and when we talked about the film our professor asked “who in here is Catholic?” and some of the students raised their hands and he asked them if they remembered people talking about this sex abuse scandal and my classmates said that “we all knew about it but they didn’t really discuss it”
Great movie. Now reading the book behind it. Keep up the great work. (By the way I have a feeling I know what the 7 thumbs down voter may do for a living)
Never stop lighting them up ❤❤💪 No matter how big they are They just fall harder Thanks for all your work And truly hard hitting movie even tho We knew it went on
"We answer to a higher authority" That's a quote from a Bishop speaking on Irish radio when these scandals first emerged in Ireland in the 1990's. They believed they were not subject to the laws of the land, they believed they were above all that..but it didn't take them long to hide behind those same laws in order to protect the wealth and power they had enjoyed for so long. The Church imploded in Ireland, today less than 20% of the Irish attend church or have any relationship with it. In 2018 only two priests were ordained in Ireland, a county that would normally produce hundreds of them.
@@El3ctr0Lun4 They were still powerful enough to get a nice indemnity deal of €128 million to cover all their crimes and you the taxpayer paid the balance which amounted to over a billion euros. The church still have power where it matters, make no mistake about that.
@@El3ctr0Lun4 i dont think theres any need for an institution like the church.. if people want a relationship with god they can get it in their own homes praying in their bedrooms. gods everywhere isnt he? so why do you need a priest?
When JPII was cannonized, Many victims felt like it was a slap in the face. He broght Law to rome to escape justice. He gave his friend Marciel Maciel a slap on the wrist and ignored the scandal. Some "saint" he was.
One of the most important pieces of investigative reporting of all time, the church goes back centuries and someone finally outed them, and because of it how many children worldwide were no longer ever allowed to be alone with a priest now that the truth is out? Huge piece with ripple effects that span the globe
Great movie!! Watched it 5 times already! I grew up Catholic, was not abused but glad they are being exposed for those who were! What gets me is how diabolical that the hierarchy would go to such lengths to hide such a horrendous crime!!
Fantastic journalism, and the movie was bang on. Compelling and well done. I will say however, seeing the name William Scanlan come up on the movie as one of the abusive priests was spooky. That’s my name, damnit!
Spotlight is a must-see movie for every catholic.Cardinal Law is featured in the movie.He was promoted to the Vatican after his cover ups and was asked to be a pall bearer for pope john paul
Pope got Law out of Boston as he would have gone to prison for covering up a felony. Many children abused because of the coverup. Priests belonged in prison but were sent to other parishes with a clean slate. Vatican City is a sovereign country with no extradition allowed. Recent story on history channel covered up for 50 years. How did top Nazis escape from Germany after the war? Through the Vatican. Given false names and identity papers they ended up in Argentina and lived happily aftet👎🏿
People like Cardinal Law got to resign and then were moved to another position within the Vatican, they were never dragged before a judge to answer for their crimes. In many ways they were still treated as being above the law. Cardinal George Pell is the only high ranking priest in the Catholic Church to be brought to justice and found guilty, and that was in Australia. There should be no statute of limitations on child abuse.
My hat's off to the Boston Globe for having the balls to do real journalism.
