We have been sent this link to a disturbing video. The subject is paedophile priests. It lasts about 40 minutes and is a very intelligent and sensitive BBC production in English with Italian subtitles. Any comment would be superfluous.

After much protest from the Vatican and from various career prelates, who claim it was unfair and untruthful, this powerful film has been removed from the internet. This is a pity, since it demonstrated how the Vatican moves to cover up scandal, for the 'greater good'. It seemed to us and to various priests that the video was not at all untruthful and only showed the tip of an iceberg. The BBC claims that by being on the web it infringed their copyright.

The BBC film has now been shown on Italian TV and the best of the young Roman Catholics present on that occasion said that this kind of revelation of the truth can only do the Church good. We are of the same opinion.
