Grace of God / Grâce à Dieu (2019)
This is an very important movie! Based on a true Story Alexandre lives with his wife and children in Lyon. One day he discovers by chance that the priest who abused him when he was a boy scout is still working with young people. Long repressed memories awaken. Distraught, Alexandre finally finds the courage to take action against the man. His search for further victims of the clergyman, who is highly respected in his office, leads Alexandre to François and Emmanuel. Each of these three men is struggling with himself in a different way. And each of them will have to do battle with the shadows of their past in order to cope with the far-reaching consequences of this process. The creation of the self-help organisation ‘La Parole Libérée’ (The Liberated Word) is just the first step.
Based on the real case of Father Bernard Preynat who in 2016 was charged with sexually assaulting around 70 boys in Lyon, François Ozon portrays the victims as adult men and reveals the lifelong wounds they have sustained. At the same time, the film criticises the church’s silence on paedophilia and asks about its complicity. As of January 2019, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin is standing trial for ‘non-denunciation of sexual aggression’.

These so called men of god are disgusting human beings even the ones with no history of predatory behaviour because they protect the one that do.

Do Penance or Perish by Frances Finnegan ;- Signed

Frances Finnegan traces the development of Ireland's Magdalen Asylums--homes that were founded in the mid-nineteenth century for the detention of prostitutes undergoing reform. The inmates of these asylums were discouraged-and many forcibly prevented-from leaving and sometimes were detained for life. Put to work without pay in adjoining laundries, these women were subject to penance, harsh discipline, enforced silence, and prayer. Their hair was cropped, and they were made to wear drab and shapeless clothing. Forbidden to mention their past lives, their children taken away, the inmates themselves were referred to as children and forced to address the nuns as "Mother." As the numbers of prostitutes began to dwindle, the church looked elsewhere for this free labour, targeting other "fallen" women such as unwed mothers and wayward or abused girls. Some were incarcerated simply for being "too beautiful," and therefore in danger of sin. Others were mentally retarded. Most of them were brought to the asylums by their families or priests. Unbelievably, the last of these asylums was closed only in 1996. Drawing on previously unpublished material, Finnegan presents case histories of individual women and their experiences in Magdalen homes, which claimed some 30,000 women in all. She looks at the social consequences of such a system, and ponders how it was able to survive into the late twentieth century, right through the feminist campaign for women's rights. Do Penance or Perish is the first study of this shameful episode in Irish history.
Frances Finnegan is an English historian who resettled in Ireland. She had previously done a study of Victorian prostitution, the last chapter of which was on the Rescue and Reform movement (particularly in York, England.) Finnegan makes no apology for not choosing "to be 'objective' about the subject of this study, no do I think it a necessity, or a virtue, for historians to suspend their moral judgement." As long as she has her facts straight, I have no problem with that. Finnegan points out that the Female Penitentiary (using the term to mean a place where one repents, although the sense of prison is not inappropriate either) was largely carried out by women and few questioned the morality of consigning 'fallen' women but not men to penitentiaries."

Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God is a 2012 Documentary Film Directed by Alex Gibney. The film follows documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney as he examines the abuse of power in the Catholic Church system through the story of four deaf men — Terry Kohut, Gary Smith, Pat Kuehn and Arthur Budzinski — who set out to expose the priest who abused them during the mid-1960s at St. John's School for the Deaf. Each of the men brought forth the first known case of public protest against clerical sex abuse, which later led to the sex scandal case known as the Lawrence Murphy case. Through their case the film follows a cover-up that winds its way from the row houses of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, through Ireland's churches, all the way to the highest office of the Vatican.
Spotlight is a 2015 American biographical drama film directed by Tom McCarthy. The film follows The Boston Globe's "Spotlight" team, the oldest continuously operating newspaper investigative journalist unit in the United States, and its investigation into cases of widespread and systemic Child Sex Abuse in the Boston Area by numerous Roman Catholic Priests.

States of Fear is a documentary series produced by Mary Raftery and broadcast on the Irish Television. (RTÉ) between April and May 1999. The film detailed abuse suffered by children between the 1930s and 1970s in the state childcare system of Ireland, primarily in the Reformatory and Industrial Schools.The Commission to Inquire into Child Abuse was established in 2000 and delivered its Report in May 2009.
Children of Shame (Crime Documentary) - Real Stories Tuam, a quiet town in the west of Ireland. Tuam, a name that traumatised the whole of Ireland in the spring of 2014, when an unimaginable story was revealed. A hidden mass grave containing the remains of some 800 children was discovered on the former grounds of a home for single mothers, a hell on earth where children died from ill treatment, and were shamefully buried in secret and forgotten. Up until the 1990s, dozens of these detention centres were run by religious orders, but the country is still reluctant to confront the ghosts of its past.
Just research this title in Youtube “Pedophile Priests in Ireland” and hundreds of videos will appear. It is so disturbing and distressing for Catholic Priests to rape innocent children and the worst is when the Catholic Church continues to cover up and sends these known paedophile Priests to another Parish. This encourages the Catholic Priests to continue the same monstrous behaviour towards another group of children. The continual cover up by the Catholic Church demeans the church and the people that place their trust in them. The Roman Catholic Church is complicit and guilty in all these horrendous crimes and their active cover-ups are the real crimes.

Two disturbing videos of the Pedophile Fr. Brendan Smyth in Ireland. This documentary is about the life of Roman Catholic Priest Brendan Smyth - one of the most evil members of a child rape and molestation ring operated by the Roman catholic church in Ireland. This satanic group of catholic priests raped and molested young children on an industrial scale. He Raped 100's of children, whole families of boys - for YEARS. He destroyed lives and when he is finally caught, he still believes he'll get off
This documentary is about Pedophile Priest John Geoghan;- Who Raped hundreds of children. Please remembered as a RAPE by a Catholic Priest is both criminal Rape and Spiritual Rape. It goes as high as the Vatican. The Catholic Church is corrupt to its core. Pedophiles seek out careers in the Catholic Priesthood, because their MO is always to be in a position where they’re trusted with children. There's a certain sociopathic element to these Catholic Priests - they only think about the themselves and how the consequences affects them. No consideration for the victims, at all.
