Horrible subject matter but something that really needs to be addressed. Every now and again it pops up the the MSM, questions are asked and then it goes away again.

Not about child abuse this time but to relate the story of an Irish friend of mine now in her mid sixties. She was a nun in Ireland until her early forties when she was seduced by the local priest. She immediately left the church - which was made very difficult for her - but the priest remained enjoying his privileges. How much is celibacy the issue here - forcing men to live in an unnatural state or is it something much darker.

Alex Gibney's earlier documentaries such as 'Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer' and 'Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room' were well worth watching so I imagine this one will be too.

I feel very bad for the priests who cannot marry.

I feel that it's unnatural for a man not to have the chance to procreate.

I feel that restricting priests from it weeds them from the genepool or forces them into sin.

:( eek

Didn't know about this movie @.@

push forward with international legal cases

Victims of the child sex abuse crisis that has engulfed the Catholic church during
Pope Benedict's tenure welcomed his unexpected resignation on Monday, amid
speculation over what prompted his departure.

Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (Snap), an organisation of 12,000
members worldwide, claim Benedict is personally responsible for widespread abuse
within the church because he chose to protect its reputation over the safety of
children. US lawyers who are currently suing the pontiff and other high-ranking
Holy See officials for systematically concealing sexual crimes around the world, said
his resignation may lead to more international prosecutions.

David Clohessy, executive director of Snap, condemned the pope's "terrible record"
on child sex abuse and said he hoped he would "finally show some courageous
leadership on the abuse crisis" in his remaining days.

Clohessy told the Guardian: "Before he became pope his predecessor put him in
charge of the abuse crisis. He has read thousands of pages of reports of the abuse
cases from across the world. He knows more about clergy sex crimes and cover-ups
than anyone else in the church yet he has done precious little to protect children."

He said a big question for the pope's successor is "what he will do in a very tangible
way to safeguard children, deter cover-ups, punish enablers and chart a new
course. What matters is not whether a statement is unprecedented but whether an
action is affected."

Clohessy cited the example of 30 US bishops who have posted the names of
predator priests on their diocese websites. He said that a new pontiff should require
bishops to do that and to work to reform secular laws governing abuse "so that
predators from every walk of life faces justice".

Cardinal Sean O Malley, of Boston, one of five cardinals who lead the US
archdiocese, has published a list of 159 priests and deacons accused of abusing
children, on the Boston archdiocese website.

Before he was pope, the then-Cardinal Ratzinger headed the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, the organisation responsible for dealing with abuse cases.

The Vatican has cited nonspecific health concerns as the reason for Benedict's
resignation, the first in the church in almost 600 years, but the unexpected and
sudden nature of the announcement has prompted widespread speculation over the
reasons.

Bill McMurry, a lawyer from Kentucky who has sued the Vatican for sexual abuse
allegations going back as far as 1928, said: "The world is stunned. We don't see in
the history of the papal world a pope stand down. It makes you wonder what's
going on."

McMurry said he personally holds Benedict responsible for "decades" of cover-up of
the sex abuse scandal, during which time bishops were instructed to send
paedophile priests from one district to another.


"It is a good day when a bad pope or a bad leader of your religion steps aside," he
said.

McMurry said he believed Benedict was appointed to the papacy in part because he
had kept the sex abuse scandal at bay to protect the reputation of the church.

"We have seen documentations. We know that this is the role that Benedict played,
and he did a terrific job of containing a scandal until it could be contained no more
and it exploded."

"It is hard for me to accept that Benedict would step down. Unless there was a
potential scandal that we will never know about that was bargained away. There's a
lot of skull-duggery here. It just doesn't add up" he said.

The Center for Constitutional Rights, which filed a case against the pope last year at
the International Criminal Court on behalf of Snap, said his departure would make
international prosecution easier, both in its case at the ICC and other, potential
prosecutions, because it will remove the immunity given to him as a head of state.

In a statement, the CRR said: "This pope is responsible for rape and other sexual
violence around the world, both through his exercise of superior responsibility and
through his direct involvement in the cover up of specific crimes. Tens of thousands
of victims, most of them children, continue to suffer because he has placed the
reputation of the church above the safety of its members. His resignation will make
international prosecution easier for national systems of justice that still grant
immunity to current heads of state."

Pam Spees, an attorney for CCR, said that since it had filed the suit in 2011, Snap
has been contacted by survivors from 65 countries.

"We have seen a welling up of survivors coming together in different countries to
demand accountability," said Spees. "With respect to ICC, there was never any
legal hurdles because he was head of state. But there were plenty of political
hurdles to doing that. The fact that he is not any more should remove those
political hurdles. He could also be more exposed to civil suits and criminal
investigations at a national level."

Thanks ?Corncrake I'm using this answer to bumb the thread, this is a very important documentry and proves that the Church has been covering up
abuse for centuries and has no place in human 'enlightenment' imo...Steve
