as do the other women who served time in the institutions run by orders like the Good Shepherd Sisters or the Sisters of Charity. "It was worse in the Magdalenes, much worse than what you see. I don't like to say it, but the film is soft on the nuns," says McDonagh, who spent five years in one in Galway after being molested by a neighbour.

She was spirited away early one morning by a priest and told she had "brought shame on her family". McDonagh eventually escaped to England after she was farmed out as a servant to a cousin of one of the "holy nuns", an expression she still uses without a hint of irony. Every other "Magdalene" I've talked to says the same: the reality was more brutal.

Deliver Us From Evil – disturbing film worth watching

I recently watched Amy Berg’s 2006 documentary focusing on former-Fr. Oliver O’Grady, one of the most notorious of sexual abusers. It has serious flaws: like many contemporary documentaries, it presents points of view or conclusions as though they were fact.

In this instance, there are logical leaps I’m not willing to take, and some misconceptions about how sex abuse cases were handled (and by what rules) at various points in time.

Review: Crummey v Ireland by Frank Crummey

Books and Moviesflag_ireland Tag: ireland

We can't really refer to the 'good old days' any more, can we? Now that we know what was actually going on, in an Ireland that was "closed, secretive and violent".

Frank Crummey, born 70 years ago into an effectively single-parent family (his dad left when he was three) on a working-class estate in Kimmage, Dublin, knew from the earliest days what life, for many, was about. When he was eight a woman, escaping her violent husband, jumped from an upstairs window and was rescued by Frank's redoubtable mum.

ALL THE POPE'S PRIESTS

By MIKE FLEMING

The producers intend to frame the movie in the vein of All The President's Men. One of the planned film's hooks is that some of the journalists are themselves Catholic and were conflicted as they researched and wrote their stories.

This journalism angle seems a fascinating way to approach the topic. And, interestingly, the Boston Globe investigative team was headed by Ben Bradlee, Jr., son of the legendary Washington Post editor who stood behind Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein when their Watergate reporting was assailed by Richard Nixon's White House.

Suffering and the Children

Books and Moviesflag_usa Tag: usa

by Patrick Lindsay Bowles Times Literary Supplement

"The current crisis for the Catholic Church over decades of child sexual abuse has further obscured a similar but less reported story. One of Time magazine’s 'Top Ten Underreported Stories of 2008' was the refusal by America’s largest Protestant church, the Nashville-based Southern Baptist Convention (SBC), to create a database of those among its 101,000 clergymen who have been convicted or credibly accused of sexually abusing children.

That refusal is one of the practices that make the 44,000 churches of the SBC, says Christa Brown, “a perfect paradise for predators”. The shocking evidence, expertly marshalled by Ms Brown, a successful appellate lawyer in Austin, in this riveting account of her own victimization, suggests that in the case of the SBC the distinction between predator and clergyman is all too often diaphanous.

The Power and the Glory: Inside the Dark Heart of Pope John Paul II's Vatican

Books and Movies
ISBN13: 9780786719563


From the first moment of his papacy Karol Wojtyla sought political influence and a role on the world stage. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, he was a leader to millions of Catholics at a time of tremendous change. Promising a renewed church, he was the first media Pope and travelled around the world to preach his message. It is said that he was central in the fall of Soviet Eastern Europe, in particular his own homeland of Poland. Now, one year after his death, there are already calls for his sainthood.

But is this the whole truth? David Yallop explores the myths and half truths of John Paul II's long reign and asks some difficult questions ranging from the role of the Vatican in the momentous events in 1989, and the continued mismanagement of Vatican finance which allowed Calvi and others to continue to use the Vatican banks for money laundering to the failure to address the child sexual abuse crisis and the rise of the Opus Dei. Including explosive revelations from the CIA, the KGB, and the Vatican itself, it is a bold and unflinching look at a man who soon stands to become a saint.

Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II (Paperback)

Books and Movies

Authors Jason Berry (Lead Us Not into Temptation) and Gerald Renner (retired reporter for the Hartford Courant) team up for this highly accusatory report on the sex abuse scandal within the Catholic Church.

The "vows of silence" speak to the Church's self-protective secrecy that made it possible to ignore the rampant abuse, despite all the early accusations and red flags. To reveal the history and scope of this problem, Berry and Renner expertly researched the parallel lives of two key players.

The first one is Thomas Doyle, portrayed as an American hero priest. Doyle first heard about priests sexually abusing children in the early 1980s. Doyle immediately started to confront his superiors and blow the whistle at every turn.

As early as 1983 Doyle wrote that the Church's secrecy caused any and all wrongdoings to be "denied, covered up and rationalized with equal zeal." Years later he became an advocate for! victim restitution, testifying against the Church in numerous court cases.

The second character is more like the antichrist: Father Marcial Maciel, who was the influential founder of the cult-like order of Legionaries of Christ and accused of being a particularly cruel and long-term sexual predator.

Satanic Ritual Abuse, Principles of Treatment

Books and Movies
Product Description

In recent years the subject of satanic ritual abuse (SRA) has incited widespread controversy focused primarily on whether or not such abuse actually occurs. Much like child sexual abuse, SRA was initially dismissed as an isolated or even imaginary phenomenon. Although there is increasing evidence that ritual abuse does take place, clinicians working with individual patients cannot be sure whether they are dealing with fact or fantasy.

Dr Colin Ross, an expert in the treatment of dissociative disorders, has encountered more than three hundred patients with memories of alleged satanic ritual abuse. In this book, he provides a well-documented discussion of the psychological, social, and historical aspects of SRA and presents principles and techniques for its clinical treatment.
