Spring Break Assignment - Writing Task #4: Deliver Us From Evil

The central idea of this film was to notify people of the clergy child abuse that has been going on for years and the little that is happening to terminate it. Deliver Us From Evil focuses on Father Oliver O'Grady, a "notorious pedophile" priest who molested and raped boys and girls of a young age in different California parishes. In the film he openly admits his actions toward his victims, specifically the ones who charged against him. A few of his victims are shown in the documentary including their family and they talk about their experiences with Father O'Grady. But two deeply affected victims look to put an end to the clergy abuse and they do it by writing a letter to Pope Benedict XVI, telling him about the issue. Unfortunately they were not let into the vatican because of the guards and their letter was left unanswered. Father O'Grady now resides in Ireland roaming free and wasn't properly punished for his hundreds of victims. This is occurring with many clergy members, some are still in their parish continuing to abuse children, who are keeping quiet about it that's why this film was made to raise public awareness.
