Movie No. 65 (2013): DELIVER US FROM EVIL
Deliver Us From Evil (2006)
Director: Amy Berg
Synopsis (from www.rottentomatoes.com): Deliver Us From Evil is a superb documentary and a searing look at an institution protecting its leaders at the expense of its followers. A profoundly disturbing chronicle of a wolf in sheep's clothing, the film builds a clear-eyed case against pedophile priest Oliver O'Grady, and the Catholic bureaucracy that protected him. The recollections of Grady's victims are nothing short of shocking and heartbreaking.

It's quite ridiculous that the Bishop couldn't recall of a child molestation complaint against his clergy during the time of his headship in a congregation. He lied, and it showed on his face. This cover-up is really infuriating. It seems like in the Catholic religion, the priests are more important than the followers, molested innocent children included. Oh, well...
The movie, as a documentary, is exceptional. People of any faith should see it and learn from it.
