"In her Academy Award nominated (2006) documentary, Deliver Us From Evil, director Amy Berg uses gripping testimony by victims, interviews with expert witnesses and archival footage to reveal the Catholic Church's shocking cover up of ongoing incidents of child abuse by members of the clergy.
The film focuses specifically on the case of Father Oliver O’Grady, the notorious pedophile priest who raped and sodomized hundreds of boys and girls aged nine months through adolescence, and one adolescent victim’s mother, over the course of 20 years.
During this time, church superiors avoided exposure to scandal by reassigning O'Grady from one California parish to another, never punishing him, failing to prevent his ongoing predatory behavior and never protecting parishioners from his ongoing abhorrent abuse.
The film traces the trail of deceit and shame all the way to Pope Benedict XVI, who has been accused of conspiracy to cover up the crimes. According to the film, the Vatican asked President Bush to grant the Pope immunity from prosecution—-and got it."
An extremely well made documentary that I have just watched about paedophillia and coverups regarding the catholic church in california!! It features interviews with psychopath "Father Oliver O'Grady" who clearly demonstrates his complete lack of conscience. Openly laughs about the abuse that he committed against countless numbers of children at the end and tries to make a joke out of the whole situation. Definitely worth the watch!
