TV3 is showing Alex Gibney’s award winning documentary ‘Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God’ tonight at 9pm.
It tells the story of four deaf boys who were abused by a priest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and a subsequent cover-up which lead to the Vatican.
It summarises the Vatican’s response in three words: deny, minimise and blame.
The HBO documentary also explores the church’s role in protecting and hiding known abusers around the world, including Fr Tony Walsh (above centre, playing Elvis in Fr Michael Cleary’s All-Priests Show).
