Review of Deliver Us from Evil (2009) by Ricardo H — 26 Sep 2007

Let me start by saying that I am Catholic, if that makes any difference for my review. This is one of the BEST documentaries I have seen regarding the abuse of power by the Church on its followers. I don't know what is worse, the actions of the molester or the conscious and willing overlooking of those higher in the hierarchical ladder of the church to hide wrongdoings, to cover them up, and to block any possible legal investigation.

It's easy to see from the "depositions" that those answering had to think long and hard before responding, as if trying to find an acceptable answer. The movie left me outraged, sad, and even more sure that my faith in God is something personal and does not depend on the "Church".
