A devastating investigation into the pedophilia scandals tearing apart the Catholic Church, Deliver Us From Evil begins by looking into one priest, Father Oliver O'Grady, who agreed to be interviewed by journalist/filmmaker Amy Berg. O'Grady's genial calm is at first ingratiating, until he begins to describe his crimes with an unsettling sociopathic detachment. But O'Grady's blithe interview is only half of the story, as the documentary also unveils how church superiors covered up O'Grady's crimes and shuffled him from diocese to diocese in northern California, finally placing him in an unsupervised position of authority in a small town, where he sexually assaulted dozens of children; the video deposition of Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahoney is a grotesque portrait in brittle denial. What makes Deliver Us From Evil crucial viewing, however, are the remarkable interviews with a few of the victims (now adults) and their parents, whose stories are wrenching and riveting. With the support of a priest seeking to reform the church, two of the victims actually go to the Pope, seeking some form of help in addressing O'Grady's crimes. This stunningly potent documentary combines raw feeling with lucid and persuasive discussions of the reasons for--and disturbing breadth of--this crisis within the Church. --Bret Fetzer

This documentary helped me understand why clergy and religious institutions are so harmful to the basic propositions of the religion. I now understand better why the prophet Muhammad has forbidden clergy in islam, and Quran gives examples of previous people creating rules not mandated by God. Moreover, in Quran, the muslim is taught to pray - declare insistently that "you only we worship and you only we ask", which relieves you from your bounds, bounds of mind, bounds of religious institutions and ...

This film was worth watching if only for the deposition of Roger Mahoney (Cardinal Mahony). The video of Mahoney's testimony was especially disturbing, showing great evasiveness and dishonesty. I could easily see why a jury found for the victims of sex abuse in the related civil suit.
Raised Catholic, I did not take offense at the subject matter. I did not find it to be an attack on the Church. The truth may be unpleasant, but it has to be faced. This was an honest look at a serious ... Read More

To the SURVIVORs: I admire your courage so much. How to have faith in the wake of such devastation challenges all of us. I know survivors of this abuse and evil, and have had a very hard time understanding faith, hope, and love, despite the horrors of this world. At least the Church does not equal God, although it represents itself that way. I wish you all hope and healing, that you will continue to find ways and paths to joy that the Church does not impede.
Moral relativism is dangerous and ... Read More

It brings to light the sex abuse scandal in the catholic church leading all the way up to the current pope. I have lost what respect I had for the catholic religion as a whole, not the individuals, but the blind authority of the church. It is done in a way that does not further exploit the victims but honors them.
