3. WOW ! That is really heavy. I think every child should see and know the dangers of a child molester.. The dirty little subject some parents try to skirt. If you don't have the guts to sit down and talk to your own children then they should be able to obtain the information else where. It's a bad world we live . Our children can trust anyone in authority positions... period !!! Uncomfortable as it is, we need this to be out there. It is really frightening what these priests got away with. Those children will never be same. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM.

4. Good grief, let it rest already.
A handful of priests, out of a membership of 1.2 Billion Catholics, turns out to be molesters. Statistically, that's a very low number.
Of course even one bad apple is too much ,but harping on this endlessly helps no one.
AFAIK, the Catholic church has since made a lot of changes , including back ground checks on anyone who works with kids. You can't prevent all problems all the time but they're really doing a lot better. At least here in Southern California.

5. I can’t believe that Catholics allow their kids to be alone with these Priests. I would never leave one of my kids alone with a grown adult I really didn’t know. But to top that off they leave them with a group of men that are known pedophiles. You’ve got to be brain dead. I sure some Catholics are smart enough to never leave their kid alone with these perverts, but obvious not enough of them.

6. *Good Grief, let it rest already."

In my honest opinion that is where the greatest trouble has arisen. . we have let it rest!
I am Catholic so it pains me to hear/read about these things for when people hear you are Catholic they give that expression. But I am pleased these things are being addressed now. Too often as children ( & even as adults ) we have heard to listen/not talk back to Church, Teachers, Police Officers, Neighbors & look what has happened.

Let it rest. My thought . . never. We need to make these people accountable for their actions & the people who covered it up. . turning a blind eye has done far too much damage.
I think we need to be aware we have very very sick individuals EVERYWHERE. & we need to make these individuals no we are not going to tolerate this ANYMORE. . you can not run, you can not hide but more so YOU CAN NOT TOUCH OUR CHILDREN.

7. Evie, are you out of your f***ing mind?! "Let it rest"? "A handful of priests"? How the hell do you know only a handful of priests have been molesting kids? There is no way you could possibly know that. This has been going on for who knows how many hundreds of years in the Catholic church. I can't believe you are trying to make excuses for these pedophile priests. You're no different than those people who did nothing to punish these pedophiles when the abuse was reported. Just like them, you act like this is no big deal. Would it be a big deal if it happened to YOUR kids?

8. Us to watch him?! I think he should be in permanent Isolation cell; with recordings of tormented humans crying and screaming playing in his cell throughout the rest of his life.

9.
I was baptized by Father O'Grady - he was in our home for family parties. My brother and I found him approachable, my mother and family friends found him "nice" but mostly drunk at our functions. We were never abused but in retrospect he did seem too "cool" for a priest, giving us a lot of attention and asking us many questions, etc. We had to meet with him for baptismal class and CCD functions and he often asked if we wanted to meet separately because he was worried we'd fight. We always had to convince him we wouldn't and we'd behave if we both went into his office. I am so grateful we were baptized together. I only share this to make it clear just how easy it would have been and is for a priest or anyone to take advantage of a parent's or child's trust.

Child molestors abuse an average of 120 children in their lifetime, he was able to ruin more lives than that. Most child molestors are victims of sexual abuse. That dispells a previous comment of it being just a few out of a parish of 1.2 billion - do the math. Father O'Grady has not only raped and demolished the lives of thousands, but has unleashed future, if not current abusers.

10. Bogart,

I think the poster meant we should lay to rest the notion that this is a "catholic" problem. There are pedos in every religion, race, and economic group. I am a child advocacy lawyer and I know molestation occurs everywhere. The catholic church gets a lot of attention because it is the largest U.S. church. The second largest church is the southern baptist church which is 75% smaller than the catholic church. The fact is your child could be molested by a priest, a deacon, a rabbi, a teacher, a coach, or a family friend. Between 1%-3% of all adults who work with kids are pedophiles or ephebophiles. In my state we also have a shocking number of kids being abused by their foster parents. People also forget that one of the largest group of molesters are family members (fathers, uncles, grandfathers, older cousins). If you look online for the registered child sex offenders in your area you will see that they are numerous and they come from all walks of life. This is everyone's problem.

11. It's only another attempt by Jewish-controlled Hollywood to castigate all christians,
and secularize our Country. Without God, we are lost. The Jews have an approval rating of 77% in this Country. That is their measure of a successful subjugation of our way of life and our culture. Don't go to see this new anti-Catholic movie. Show that
we are not interested in Jewish propaganda out of Hollywood. They hate Christians, Muslims, and anyone who is not Jewish. If we only knew their anger, the backlash would begin with a superior motive. They have bankrupted us.

12. #4-Don't be so daft.

One pedophile is one too many as far as I'm concerned. I have no mercy for these people, if you can call them people. They need to be euthanised.

13. Finally the hipocracies of The Cathloic Church will be scrutinized in this documentary! They are so quick to point out OTHER people's supposed sins yet THEY'RE ATROCITIES are so easily forgotten! The abuse of a child is ,in my eyes, the worst act any human being can commit in this world because they are innocent. They have allowed this to happen in THIER OWN CHURCHES and ignored it! Bravro to the director of this film! I will be the first on line to watch it! That is guaranteed!

14. Catholism is the window to evil! In being briefly married to one and leaving the marriage soon after I found that my husband was addicted to porn, an adulterer, an alcoholic, an ex-male escort as well as a wife beater who was convicted several times and spent time in jail. The straw I must say is when in 2000 all of the molestation charges came out againt the Priest and my in-laws were wanting us to donate money for their defense. They insisted that the Priest could not help it....if the Church would let them marry this would not happen. They said this knowing that their own son had been molested as a young child.
When I had the courage to leave him taking our 2 sons the Catholic Church rallied to his side with finance.... Hiring a criminal lawyer for the divorce, testimonies of lies of people (all Catholic) I had never even met including a priest....the same one who molested him as an alter boy to testify for him.
His mother would say it was "for the cause", "for the church".
They are as thick as theives......defending their cult to the last breath!
Show me a Catholic and I will show you a pervert!

15. It's interesting how quick some are to rationalize a 'handful of molesters' as some attempt to discredit and scandalize the Catholic Church. Why is it so hard for die-hard Catholics to admit that there are predators in their midst? Predators/molestors are everywhere - from every walk of life. The difference here is the culture of cover-up and permisability that goes on in the Church. There have been thousands of cover-ups - priests transferred to other parishes, dioceses, etc. after concrete proof of molestation. It's hideous. I think all organized religion sucks. It just give everyone a reason to hate some other group of people [i.e. jews, muslims, non-conservatives, etc.]. Religion solidifies the us vs. them mentality that is required for blind-dogmatic-followers with no mind of their own. Wake up people! I think the people who are freaking out over this movie should STFU and open their eyes.
