I have no arguments against this movie . . . everything I’ve heard about it is true to fact . . . even voices from the Catholic Church have said so. It is an ugly stain on the Church, no doubt. But the Church has acted on it and has made numerous changes to better safeguard the kids.
One of the safeguards in place around the world was started right in the Diocese of Dallas and from a parish I attended at the time . . . St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Annual background checks started there right after the Rudy Koss scandal and the Church adopted those guidelines very quickly after seeing the success the Diocese was having.
The Church is also acting swiftly on accusations and removing priests from duty during investigations.
Do they still have more work to do? Of course! Is any church perfect? Of course not. As long as the Church is alive on this earth, there will be attacks from outside and from within.
