2:05 pm
with that story i have been to australia last year i've travelled i have been in the diocese i met with three survivors from the school where we are now powell was at that time that the vice director of the school and. willing gage to cooperate with justice and it would cooperate in the sense of setting up safeguarding measures in the saying you will this is future but you didn't denounce sexual abuse it's very far and isn't this you know it is it sucking for you or not of course it was shocking you know for him to be in this you nine and not have been denouncing. sexual abuse of minors yeah for sure. since the school it has always in chile here. documents that as you is has waited five years after the first victim spoke out to take action and to remove the
2:06 pm
prized father correct him out and sire father carriage about has been since proven guilty by the vatican of sexual abuses is here. still in this he nine. yeah i'm not responsible for the abundance of guns what does she think of it i'm not the one who decides on that but what do you think i think today was they as long as i want something that thank you very much it seems then that only the pope has the power to punish his cardinals so why doesn't he take stronger action. maybe because he too faced accusations in his homeland of argentina long before his election. when he was archbishop of buenos aires he apparently tried to have a pedophile priest acquitted. him when a serious along with god or rather diego maradona the pope is
2:07 pm
a star his face is everywhere. and yet some refused to share in the sick on a graphical. in the city center we've arranged to meet a group of victims they were abused by priests in the archdiocese appointed serious . they learned pope francis when he was their archbishop says. that all this. he said is the. only rule this is. all that it is that we keep. saying. to me. so that. seems. to have this.
2:08 pm
even moondog got it i mean for you have. to listen to what that's. that it is. it was you know they don't know. if the motel that if they can't. even you know young kids care to know you know i know. the you know that the only thing i get if you ever get you're going to. be you feel you need somebody want to be with this it's you know. it. has archbishop of buenos aires pope francis was seemingly deaf to the distress of these victims. but apparently it's worse in another case concerning other victims some believe he's willfully trying to divert the course of justice that it is for father cross each
2:09 pm
case the biggest pedophilia scandal in the argentinian church secretary who you know says are grassy was one of the best known priests in the country very influential and often in the media spotlight doing well with a rather less big. run a huge orphanage until some of the children bear launched a complaint against him for sexual abuse in two thousand and nine he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison still today he's behind bars. but the argentinean church did all in its power to have him acquitted. one public eye a go represented father grossness child victims. a trial spread over a few thousand years and opposite him the most renowned attorneys in the land but also the catholic church. see no no sent it almost in an annual of mean this.
2:10 pm
up but he said only you get us in the most they don't you know that this will take us all let us see theater miles over what is going to set that are going to see me end up it was. i want to cite as. don't be fooled by the cover which makes you think it's a book this twenty eight hundred page counter inquiry is a confidential internal argentinian church legal text. inside the children argues the falsifications lies deceit and invention even their own sexual orientation is questioned. the conclusion is clear the court's decision was wrong father rasi had to be acquitted on appeal. one paragraph caught our eye. this work was commissioned in two thousand and ten by the argentina biskupic conference and notably by its then president cardinal bergoglio now pope
2:11 pm
francis. so the pope did commission a counter inquiry to try to have a priest who had been sentenced for pedophilia acquitted. kind it said there was a bergoglio the future pope actually sent it to the judges with a shrewd sense of timing before father across these various appeal hearings. one of the magistrates received a copy of the counter inquiry agreed to meet us. problems my case a former appeal court judge and former minister of justice is today a high court judge. it's the first time he's spoken openly about the cross the case . he remembers very well the day he found this counter inquiry on his desk with a similarly is this the students who visit him as he is there was no influence away and so if we know enough of the. case and. they know
2:12 pm
anything. it is in a tone that i don't see what equal that is and that will cost us more if i decided not to those it do you know that you're going to have got it it's an idea if i was the us look at what it is it is or that said well that's what the impetus you also did up places. from here on the infield side to defeat the car to suit the man and. finally useless father grassi sentence was upheld at both the appeals court and high court. at the center of the counter inquiry commission by the pope when he was archbishop of buenos aires is the account of a boy. the main victim of. since the case blew up in the early two thousand it's the first time he's agreed to talk to a reporter. he wants to remain anonymous because he's still afraid of reprisals.
2:13 pm
but soon i mean i guess if i hear it i hear it. now nationally custom sort of all of us a show of course. goes up as an island. also said you know that's the case you want to hold. but i guess the thing that's all we have in there was. did the two of the here keep keep can says this to stephen. as i said well in the midst of the lemon. asian little trip they see. that i'm on a no they go. loco and there is as you can make. out of this i look at. the pope has never publicly commented on the grassy case. for eight months we tried
2:14 pm
to get an interview with the holy father dozens of requests all refused. so at the vatican we tried to meet his holiness. he was to hold a public audience on st peter's square. we want to give folks francis a letter with all our questions on his suppose a brawl in the attempt to divert the course of justice in argentina. thousands of people have countered. we'll need a miracle to get to talk to the pope. few hours later the pope will be on the rock.
2:15 pm
the third time it passes we shot. something that. we managed to get our last. thing a few minutes later. he said. something that ended up as old as the i don't think that i included at tuesday's out in the. sunday that that and then castle got out phew i intend that the lean flew into d.c. out and you. know better get the deal is this too deal and castle garcia.
2:16 pm
to go but i'm. despite our quick chat neither pope francis nor any vatican official has ever answered our lead. at the end of this investigation there's one question how can the catholic church retrieve itself from these guilty silences. surging men from a number of countries such as belgium the united states and the netherlands are mobilizing and launching a national inquiry commissions on sexual abuse within the church. victims are listened to and the spotlight has fallen on the responsibility of the bishops. so let us pray may the vatican order a world wide inquiry commission. so that past scars maybe he'll let me still have faith in the future.
