I am truly disgusted with the religion I have decided I no longer want to be a part of. So many issues were uncovered in this documentary and I do believe them to be true. I expect negative feedback but please watch this if it is aired again. Pedophilia is in the Catholic Church!

No disagreement about the repugnance of the known acts of depravity and traumas caused. But I'm not so sure HBO is trustworthy enough to conclude the last pope resigned for reasons other than those stated. I don't have faith in Hollywood, either.
(Later….) Am reading here about it:
