Because of you

The crimes of the bureaucracy can be disguised as beliefs and doctrines, so I won't say more about it.

For this evil priest, he can talk eloquently in front of the camera, and can only comment in one sentence:

People are really different from people.

Their arrogance stems from the silence of the victim. They are very smart, and after hurting others, they will despise the victim. They laughed confidently at the kindness of their prey.

However, despite cowardice and weakness, some people will eventually stand up and appeal for justice for their innocence. This is the most touching part of this documentary. The meager power has been hurt by public opinion again for ten or twenty years, and is unyielding and unforgiving.

Because you have lost all conscience.

Deliver Us from Evil quotes

  • Bob Jyono: I made up my mind. There is no God. I do not believe in a God, all right? All these rules, everything... they're made up by man, you know?

  • Himself - Theologean: The bishops have known that bishops, priests, and deacons have been sexually abusing children since the fourth century, and it's been a severe major, major problem, and they've never really been able to curb it. Basically, you have a sexualized priesthood, it's been sexualized for years, that looks at child sexual abuse no different than it does if you're having sex with a woman. Because it's all a violation of clerical celibacy.

    Herself - Psychologist: If all sex by definition was bad sex because you weren't supposed to be having it, then pedophilia is just another kind of bad sex.

    Thomas Doyle: Canon lawyer & historian, Father Tom Doyle: There is no basis in the scriptures for mandatory celibacy. It's not mandated by Christ. It's not justified anywhere in the gospels or in the life and times and sayings of Christ. All 12 apostles were married, with probably the exception of John. The first several dozen popes were married and had children. It's something that the institutional Church leaders began to think about and tried to impose at least from the fourth century. Married priests, when they died, their inheritance went to their oldest son. And so the institutionalized Church leaders, desiring to stop this practice, began to mandate celibacy so that when a priest's property had to pass after he died it would go to the bishop or to the Church.

    Herself - Psychologist: What we have to remember is a lot of the priests who have been reported as offenders went into the seminary at a minor seminary at ages 14, 15, 16. They may have been thinking about a vocation even earlier. And so they got stopped. They got literally arrested in their psychosexual development.

    Thomas Doyle: Canon lawyer & historian, Father Tom Doyle: They're nurtured in an attitude of negativity toward relationships, toward women, toward marriage, and toward sexuality, and they never really fully understand what any of these are all about.

    Herself - Psychologist: And so when these men became unable to be celibate or when their sexual urges overpowered them, they sought out victims who they experienced at some level as psychosexual peers.
