      God created all things, did he also create hell?

      Oliver O'Grady has a respectable appearance and is a perfect example of a priest. In the eyes of the believers, he is the closest thing to God. In more than 20 years, he raped and molested countless young children, even a 9-month-old baby girl. After many believers complained to the archbishop, Bishop Guilfoyle said to the victim’s family: "Vengeance is wrong...Look at your motives, God will punish", the bishop promised to send O'Grady to the monastery in exchange for the victimization...

      "First Aid", a blockbuster that truly shows the power of documentary!

      "First Aid", a blockbuster that truly shows the power of documentary!

      After watching this film titled "Big First Aid/Away from Sin/God!" The documentary of "Save Us", I was stunned! !
      Speaking of which, I can be regarded as someone who knows a little bit of what a documentary is and how to make a documentary. But within the scope of my limited knowledge about documentary films, I would never have imagined that anyone would have such an ability to make a documentary like "The...

      Hundreds of thousands of people have been sexually abused, and finally there is a conscience film that boldly exposes the ugliness of this profession

      In the United States, the church carries the faith of countless people and is an organization that devout believers can trust. The pastor, who is the spokesperson of God, is the spiritual mentor of many people, and is respected and trusted by people without reservation. For many families, the pastor is like a family member, one of the family members. They confidently confided in their troubles to the pastor, allowing him to enter their lives and get...

      Existence and nothingness

      I haven't read Sartre's work at all, but suddenly thought of such a name.
      This documentary can be said to subvert my deep-rooted concepts.
      What is the exact definition of faith? What is the basis for the existence of faith? The positive and negative functions of faith?
      I have always believed that Chinese people have no faith and are more likely to make mistakes in certain things than those who have religious beliefs, and are more likely to lose themselves in the path of life. To...

      Thank God, I saw the ugliness in the world again.

      It's still a movie recommended by a friend, in
      order to subvert my beliefs.
      She said: Is the so-called regional bishop the
      closest to God?
      I said: Ahhh! The one who is closest to God? He doesn't even deserve a human title.

      Misunderstandings are caused in this way.
      People often attribute these things to Jesus,
      and Jesus is really innocent.

      I remember that there was a speech in it that said: A
      true Catholic is not how much money can be spent...

      "You're a girl, so he's just curious, if you're a boy, and he insults you, then he constitutes obscenity [the divine logic of the clergy [gods and gods protect each other] [the apology also has an air of superiority--my victimization] I allow you to forget my sins and live in peace and...

      Psychopaths really have no limits. How could Oliver O'Grady still be able to live and talk to reporters, shouldn't he have committed suicide long ago? Catholics, what great power can stand against the U.S. government to prevent bishops from being...

    Background creation

    In the United States, more than 100,000 believers are living in the shadow of sexual assault by the clergy of the church. For them, justice and trial are so far away. As of 2006, the church has spent at least $1 billion to cope with the pressure of victims to resort to law, but no priest has ever been convicted   .
    Oliver O'Grady, as a higher-ranking priest, uses his power to invade countless ignorant young children to satisfy his own...

    Movie quotes

    • Bob Jyono: I made up my mind. There is no God. I do not believe in a God, all right? All these rules, everything... they're made up by man, you know?

    • Himself - Theologean: The bishops have known that bishops, priests, and deacons have been sexually abusing children since the fourth century, and it's been a severe major, major problem, and they've never really been able to curb it. Basically, you have a sexualized priesthood, it's been sexualized for years, that looks at child sexual abuse no different than it does if you're having sex with a woman. Because it's all a violation of clerical celibacy.

      Herself - Psychologist: If all sex by definition was bad sex because you weren't supposed to be having it, then pedophilia is just another kind of bad sex.

      Thomas Doyle: Canon lawyer & historian, Father Tom Doyle: There is no basis in the scriptures for mandatory celibacy. It's not mandated by Christ. It's not justified anywhere in the gospels or in the life and times and sayings of Christ. All 12 apostles were married, with probably the exception of John. The first several dozen popes were married and had children. It's something that the institutional Church leaders began to think about and tried to impose at least from the fourth century. Married priests, when they died, their inheritance went to their oldest son. And so the institutionalized Church leaders, desiring to stop this practice, began to mandate celibacy so that when a priest's property had to pass after he died it would go to the bishop or to the Church.

      Herself - Psychologist: What we have to remember is a lot of the priests who have been reported as offenders went into the seminary at a minor seminary at ages 14, 15, 16. They may have been thinking about a vocation even earlier. And so they got stopped. They got literally arrested in their psychosexual development.

      Thomas Doyle: Canon lawyer & historian, Father Tom Doyle: They're nurtured in an attitude of negativity toward relationships, toward women, toward marriage, and toward sexuality, and they never really fully understand what any of these are all about.

      Herself - Psychologist: And so when these men became unable to be celibate or when their sexual urges overpowered them, they sought out victims who they experienced at some level as psychosexual peers.
