Review of Deliver Us from Evil (2006) by Colleen C — 03 Dec 2009

This was an extremely well done, albeit incredibly upsetting, documentary. The creators did the right thing in having each side, abused and abuser, represent themselves. The fact that sexual abuse in the church is still a huge, ongoing problem is shocking, but denial is a powerful thing.

The fact that the two survivors, Anne Jyono and Nancy Sloan, went to the Vatican seeking an audience only to be rebuffed by the guards (not even officials, but the guards!) is shameful. Shame on the Catholic Church for allowing any of this to happen, and continuously turning a blind eye.
