Comment by Joan Denoo on February 15, 2013 at 12:02am I was able to watch parts 1 & 2. There are not words to express grief the Roman Catholic church imposed on the human species and did so for years and years, without prosecution, conviction and penalty. Living in mansions, or retreating into some sanctuary is no penalty. This is a time when I wish there were a Hell for those who abused boys and girls and I wish the eternal damnation is as horrible as art shows it to be.
One of the things that disgusts me most is the notion that these men thought of themselves as entitled to do what they did. They used just about every sick delusion one could think of to deny their crimes.
Another thing that continues to this day is the notion of forgiveness. There should be no such thing as forgiveness; they are not worthy of forgiveness. Betrayed and then to forgive reveals as deeply imbedded mental illness as being a betrayer.
Napoleon, I am glad you were able to post these two videos; I tried to find other sources for the films and am blocked at every turn. You did us a service.
Loren, I agree, take the time to watch and think about what this film means.
Thank you so much for sharing such an interesting and claryfing documentary.

Comment by Napoleon Bonaparte on February 12, 2013 at 10:23pm I will download it and replace it if YouTube takes it down.
Comment by Loren Miller on February 12, 2013 at 10:13pm I will take a guess and say that either the producers of Mea Maxima Culpa or HBO will sooner or later complain about the movie being posted on YouTube and take it down ... but for those of you who haven't seen it, take the time and do so.
It's necessary. It's ugly as fuck, but it's necessary.
