Lawrence Murphy from Wisconsin.
Oliver O'Grady from California.
Dennis Gray from Ohio.
John Charles Shiffler from Ohio.
Plus countless others I haven't named. Then go up the ladder from them to those who covered up their dastardly acts--and throw in the soulless, blood-sucking lawyers who represent them. These four names are just from the last three documentaries I watched, including this one. Per "Twist of Faith":
"Since 1950, there have been 11,750 reported cases of children who were sexually abused by 5,148 priests in the United States." -From a study commissioned by the U. S. Catholic Church.
Let that sink in because you know that as large as those numbers seem they are probably on the low side. Can you trust the Catholic Church to accurately report? Furthermore, we're talking about "reported cases;" how many cases go unreported?
We find out that under Canon Law priests are allowed to lie to protect the church. It's called "Mental Reservation." They have this delusional idea that the good of the Church so outweighs the harm that these trifling little annoyances can be rightfully swept under the rug.
"Twist of Faith" is mainly about Tony Comes, a young man from Ohio who'd been abused by Father Dennis Gray. His reports were right in line with what I'd heard from other documentaries. I thought I had seen and heard the worst of it until in this documentary I saw the S. N. A. P. (Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests) gathering. That was enough to bring a flood of tears of anger. And that's what these documentaries do. They bring a flood of tears of anger, and I'm OK with that. If these people are brave enough to come forward on film with the most traumatic event of their lives, then I certainly can watch.
