Movie propaganda

For some there's no such thing as salvation.

Moving from one parish to another in Northern California during the 1970s, Father Oliver O'Grady quickly won each congregation's trust and respect. Unbeknownst to them, O'Grady was a dangerously active paedophile that Church hierarchy, aware of his predilection, had harbored for over 30 years, allowing him to abuse countless children. Juxtaposing an extended, deeply unsettling interview with O'Grady himself with the tragic stories of his victims, filmmaker Amy Berg bravely exposes the deep corruption of the Catholic Church and the troubled mind of the man they sheltered.

Theatrical report

Oliver O'Grady is vile.

The Roman Catholic church is evil.

Of course, those statements are only true if you believe that paedophilia and lying and conspiracy and hypocrisy are bad. Deliver us from evil opens a great big can of worms and you haven't seen so much squirming since the War on Terror™ came unstuck. I'd mention cockroaches running for cover when you turn on the light but that would be mixing metaphors. Also not to be mentioned are things that live under rocks.

The best parts of this doco are the interviews with the rock spider himself, Father O'Grady. In them, he reveals such a complete lack of understanding about the crimes he has committed that he barely manages to be human. Then there are the interviews with the victims of the Catholic church's Paedophile Protection Programme™: all round California (and the world), there are rapists being shuffled about to hide their crimes and line up new and unsuspecting prey. New children, new parents, new families.

If you don't feel loathing when you've seen Deliver us from evil then you have the same disaffection that Oliver O'Grady experiences and that should make you worry.

The crime, documentary movie Deliver us from evil is directed by Amy Berg and stars Thomas Doyle, Oliver O'Grady.
