Virtus In Medio Stat

Just finished watching this documentary. Yet another account of the systemic problems inherent to the hierarchical structure and culture of the Catholic Church. Not quite sure what to make of all of it yet. I'm beginning to get the impression that the abusers in the clergy of the Church are not limited to the direct abusers themselves, but also the enablers most especially those that had overseeing power over these perverts who turned the other way as these crimes took place through the decades. Knowing the cycle of child sexual abuse, that these priests were also likely abused themselves. you have to wonder how far back this cycle goes. I have concluded that this is not a fault of the liberalizing theology and praxis that came during and after the Second Vatican Council, but is a systemic flaw in the power structures of Holy Mother Church.

Watch the full Documentary Here This documentary was suggested to me yesterday on Netflix. I was not anticipating the nature of it would be on the scandals that impacted the Benedict XVI pontificate. I wanted to recommend it so that you can hear the case from the "other side" whatever sides those may be. There are real issues facing the Church and it hits more to the core of the religious Catholic experience than liturgical abuse and heresy. This documentary covers the huge scandals of the Church including the Legionnaires of Christ founder and sexual pervert Marcial Maciel . If there were a worse place to go for the worst of the souls in hell, I would imagine it would be for the crimes committed by men such as this man. It also covers the scandal of the Vatican Bank as well as the homosexual double lives of Vatican and Roman clergy.
