I watched this from start to finish, seemed very low budget but thought I'd stick with it.

Basically it's about sexual abuse within the catholic cult or should I say, church. I should know, I was a dedicated catholic for 10 years. Now, thankfully have found Jesus as my personal Saviour for real, not through cult like practices based on guilt and obsessional compulsive acts.

Forgiveness is a wonderful thing, but the ending made me cringe.

As a professional who works with sexual abuse victims, just because a pious priest seeks forgiveness for apparently ONE incident many years ago, then doesn't have any investgations and is allowed to continue in the church, doesn't make it right.

In my experience, it would not have been just one incident and it makes a mockery of the whole abuse issue.

Made my blood boil.
