Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God (2012)

Brilliantly disturbing documentary by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney that exposes the systematic ‘cover-up’ of child sexual-abuse cases within the Catholic Church…

“The film follows documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney as he examines the abuse of power in the Catholic Church system through the story of four deaf men who set out to expose the priest who abused them during the mid-1960s. Each of the men brought forth the first known case of public protest against clerical sex abuse, which later lead to the sex scandal case known as the Lawrence Murphy case. Through their case the film follows a cover-up that winds its way from the row houses of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, through the bare ruined choirs of Ireland’s churches, all the way to the highest office of the Vatican.. ” Wikipedia
