Child sexual abuse by Catholic priests in the United States. In "Hand of God," part 9 of 10

In recent decades, more than 10,000 children were reportedly sexually abused by Catholic priests in the United States. In "Hand of God," filmmaker Joe Cultrera explores just one of those cases, that of his own brother Paul.

Paul Cultrera was molested in the 1960s by Father Joseph Birmingham, who allegedly abused nearly 100 other children. "Hand of God" tells the story of faith betrayed, and how Paul and the rest of the Cultrera family fought back against a scandal that continues to afflict scores of churches across the country

Some people ask me why I left the church, as if what has happened means nothing.

Why do people stay in the Catholic church, why do they put their children at risk? If you fail to put your child in a car seat appropriate for their age, you get a ticket, but exposing your child to a priest, that is just okay?

Parents, there are loads of other churches without this kind of history. They read the Bible, believe in Jesus, for heaven sake, do you believe in Jesus or the RCC?

priests are totally gay pedos. why would a right minded person give up sex.

it's sad that people were brainwashed by the church.

i bet there are at least 10,000 priests in old age, sitting around waiting to be arrested for crimes in the past.
