The Priest in Giuliani's Closet

This video speaks directly to the character and judgment of a man who would like to be America's next president.

If Giuliani is willing to coddle an individual who a grand jury says abused children and helped protect other abusers from criminal prosecution, what does that say about Giuliani's fitness for office? Frankly, I think that question answers itself.

This video lays out all the essential facts of Giuliani and Placa's relationship, but for greater detail, you might want to take a look at the following links from ABC News, BishopAccountablity.org, and the New York Times:

The photographs in the video were drawn from a number of online sources. They are credited by order of appearance below. Note that photographs 2 and 3 appear simultaneously, as do numbers 17 and 18. Note also that as regards photos 9-11,13, and 18, I am not sure whether the websites I found them on are in fact the original sources, while the other photographs apparently are originally from the respective sites/news organizations listed below:

1 and 15 - Associated Press
2-7,14, and 16 - ABC News
8 - BBC
9 - nndb.com
10 - mcnblogs.com
11 - etv24.ee/
12 - NPR
13 - flapsblog.com
17 - commons.wikimedia.org
18 - BishopAccountability.org

The background music is a track called "beneath the shadows" by snayk, and was made available on creativecommons.org. Respect.

The video is a TruthInPolitix production - truthinpolitix(at)gmail.com.

Thank you for making us all aware of this. For too long it has been hidden by the State, by the Government and by the Church.

Thank you for posting this. Everyone should read Newsweek's cover story as well.

Now that's leadership.
