Excellent documentary about sexual abuse by the Catholic clergy. I had been blaming some of the U. S. bishops for moving priests around without warnings to congregations. While they are not absolved of blame, this film helps to point out…

Absolutely worth the time to watch. PBS makes documentaries that are still thoughtful, informative and balanced. Giving voices to the voiceless is what this one is all about. Stories that have been hidden for too long are finally being…
