Moving from one parish to another in Northern California during the 1970s, Father Oliver O'Grady quickly won each congregation's trust and respect. Unbeknownst to them, O'Grady was a dangerously active pedophile that Church hierarchy, aware of his predilection, had harbored for over 30 years, allowing him to abuse countless children. Juxtaposing an extended, deeply unsettling interview with O'Grady himself with the tragic stories of his victims, filmmaker Amy Berg bravely exposes the deep corruption of the Catholic Church and the troubled mind of the man they sheltered. Written by Production
I had never been aware of this movie but happened upon the title here on IMDb by accident. God DOES work in mysterious ways, because He may have led me to this great film.
I'm not Roman Catholic, but I am a Christian. However, whether one is "religious" or not should have no effect on a basic understanding of right and wrong/good and evil. It is wrong to molest anyone, let alone children. This thoughtful documentary by Ms. Berg will tear at your heart as you view it. There are no magic answers here. The film will make no one feel "better" about what has gone in in the Catholic church for centuries. What the film WILL do is help you better understand the life-long pain that sexual abuse brings not only directly to the victim, but indirectly to families and even future relationships.
Ms. Berg's film brings sexual abuse to the viewer in a truthful and compassionate way that I've never seen before. Not that there has never been sexual abuse of children by a Baptist minister or Jewish Rabbi or others who wear the "cloth" of clergy...I'm sure there has been...but the systematic cover up by the Roman Catholic church should be an embarrassment to all officials in the Church, from the Pope down to the Parish Priest.
Every seminary student, regardless of his or her religion, should be required to see this movie. Every Roman Catholic should see this movie. Everyone who breaths air should see this movie and talk about it to everyone else.
