BBC 4 on Monday 8.7.13 had a documentary called Silence in the House of God: Mea Maxima Culpa. Having complained two days ago
about bloated TV programmes, this was 90 minutes long and compelling
throughout.
The main story concerned a priest who abused boys at a USA school for the deaf over decades and the local hierarchy's abject failures to deal with what they knew about. The role of the Vatican was also examined and not least that of popes and in particular Cardinal Ratzinger as pope and before his elevation. Review of the film.
