4:07 am
out of the two. because of the police and justice for almost twenty years. and is it an isolated. one man may have an explanation. back in the united states we've arranged to meet a former american priest patrick wall. since the one nine hundred ninety s. he's been a close up with news of pedophile scandal. well you know the fires that we've kind of adopted because we're called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball of sticks in a hard pull of sheep and it's. not something. a little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dark on any wall and that conner. concept fifteen scoops

seventy five tons and they do it several times a day with the big feet so no you get an idea why ocean still. we have to understand we cannot stay still and just. be witness of the deal going on because. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. joined the monastery as a very idealistic twenty year old and thought i was going to be a monk a priest and unfortunately it didn't work out that way because so many sex abuse cases came forward that i ended up actually being ordained or early to go were.
