Remarkably, "Deliver Us From Evil" filmmaker Amy Berg tracked down Father O'Grady and persuaded him to participate in the making of her film.

What is remarkable is that such a person would want to participate in this movie. I wonder if the Catholic Church is still offering him communion?

Or pro-abortion, I mean murderous politicians.

Of course we're just heratical Calvinists, what do we know?

The DVD explains how the Vatican moved O'Grady around the state, from one parish to another for decades, even promoting him to pastoring his own church AFTER accusations of sexual assault had been made by several children.

Always, the new parish had no idea of O'Grady's history or the numerous charges against him. Over and over the criminal pattern would be repeated. And always with the clear knowledge of the RCC hierarchy, as the documentary illustrates from the damning evidence.

At the end of the DVD O'Grady's interviewed in Ireland where he was finally sent after serving seven years in jail. In Ireland he still receives his "pension" from the church so I would guess he still receives communion.

His victims are left with broken promises and broken lives.

O'Grady is obviously mentally-ill. But as the documentary shows, the church's denial of this, its sympathy and real empathy for this pervert, its elevation of this pervert, and its black-hearted protection of this pervert is what is truly astounding.

From the very pinnacle of the church, no less.

And once his superiors knew, how long was he allowed to continue to OFFER communion to others?

He can still consecrate a Eucharist for himself anyway. Once granted by the laying on of hands through the duly authorized hierarchic chain of command, his priestly secret superpowers cannot be taken from him (it's that Melchizedek thing). However, he can't be appointed to other franchises in the Roman chain.
