8:34 am
of the activists on barrett doyle. facts reports from victims snap is the only group to been able to establish a list of priests worldwide allegedly involved in the cases we only include those priests who have been accused of child sexual abuse in a credible public document it has to be either a court document that's publicly accessible or a mainstream news outlet is called father she began her work fourteen years ago sorry refuge in the states these activists publish the names and photos of accused priests on the internet to try to ensure they never come into contact with children again. this is just the letter a and it just keeps going. on in the names of so far so all in the entire database we have forty four hundred names to be of any
8:35 am
friends names in the least we do have several so father revoir is a very troubling case because he abused this young boy and and mario innuit oid did report the abuse eventuality within statute and was fled he in one thousand nine hundred three it somehow spirited him back to france where he. live safely now that's not the case of his victim who took his own life in december of two thousand and twelve to avoid justice one french priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in front of the story barely seems credible. we contacted the sister of one of the priests presumed victims. as he told the league speaks to us from northern canada deep in into a territory her brother maher used to go he committed suicide five years ago he has
8:36 am
filed a complaint against the french priest and she has sent us some old photos of her and her kid brother and want to follow revoir probable be modest. he has seen the what happened she. was responsible about why he decided to cheat on. cards. do you think madea's was the only sort of well.
8:37 am
we get our hands on a warrant issued to the canadian police for father of wars arrest. they've been after. the priest since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. on it we discover the name of mario's but also two other boys made anonymous by the police with black lines. a girl of fourteen is also among the legit victims. in all the priest is thought to have abused four children. finally in the top left hand corner of vital piece of information the name of the town where the priest is believed to be hiding in france a small town in the book lose where there's a monastery belonging to his community. so we catch the train to strasbourg.
8:38 am
that's right because in the meantime we've got hold of some internal documents from his community father revoir has been transferred several times. after obviously in canada he didn't stay in who is presumed by the canadian police he apparently went next to to iran nearly all and that's where we lost track of him . but after several months of inquiries during a phone call a priest from a priori we're father of war had stayed unwittingly gave us a new lead. which is to say the priest one of the by the canadian police for one thousand years for sexually abusing four children and seemingly lives here in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. will film with a hidden camera. oh i want to show he was
8:39 am
mentioning what. shit it was and it. was our information was correct. yet all. the priest is here at the end of the corridor or. you know so you know who'll go through the thought of article on i moved too far on this as well. because you only then used a vow never to look a screw up on like the essence of less of only the story told in the west on a new route on the basis of luck i was just off on from the body to read it i wanted to figure is was extra. in the groove really about what happened or the only thing that's risky sample falls you have elevated to struggle with about.
8:40 am
sleep and another member in months more. is going to exclude normed and not use them good so that you could push was a. car over him here they took a parachute to him. so this was a long it was and it was was. we sure the photo of the young into it mari's tumbling commercial just confirmed. in the winters is a number of us in the suit and c.c.'s i've also got actually all you say about this is you did those even though you don't feel the same maybe i thought it was expected as you really didn't want to disappear for good so he sees you there is sure. to be relinquished his or her. from the minute you said it was it's written and then i have done a diet and you know it's because it's new isn't it if. nasiriya was communal he was into the rush that the disinterest in place some serious food. was
8:41 am
a bit out of his it should most often surely bunk off let me papa our school a comical person who's saying that a very they want the graces of hostility with me but. how can a priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors change countries and homes and stay out of the. that is 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 to meet a former american priest patrick walk. since the one nine hundred ninety s. he's been a close up witness of pedophile scandal. i've
8:42 am
been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market songs thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. america was never great was founded on a raid in a murder and. nothing changed so we said all responses to these
8:43 am
situations that we're dealing with. people get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is kept me happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something and want to be rich.
8:44 am
to go right to the press this is what the four three in the morning people are. interested always in the audience and that. should. join 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 early to go work on and follow sex abusers who were being withdrawn and at that point at the age of thirty two i had to make a moral decision am i going to support this institution you know in my part of this or do i have to find a different path and that's when i chose to take it take a different path and to help survivors well you know since then patrick was become
8:45 am
a whistleblower an expert called on to testify in over two thousand cases of priests accused of sexual abuse. according to him the catholic church has developed a system to exfiltrate pedophile priests. that's the same pattern we've seen in australia it's the same pattern we've seen in the united states it's the same pattern we've seen in canada it's the same pattern in ireland in england in italy it's honestly it's in the d.n.a. of the roman catholic system and i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do that he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator and then at that point he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous scandal is not known and it is not enough to move him outside the country that's. the geographic solution you can move in from
8:46 am
continent to continent as long as you can speak the language that is needed it looks legitimate and so he's going to be accepted without question that's where the danger comes. an anonymous source will provide us with proof of the geographical solution described by patrick. one evening we received dozens of internal documents from the community of st john five hundred brothers present throughout the world. this french community is highly controversial. it has the highest number of priests found guilty of pedophilia in recent years three since two thousand and twelve. and there are thought to have been more cases of sexual abuse it's all there in black and white. as we turn the pages we get a strange feeling the community seems to have become
8:47 am
a master in the dark of the international displacement of priests suspected of sexually abusing children. among the pile of documents from the commune. miti of st john one recent letter draws our attention. and sends us rushing to the airport. here's the letter signed by a high ranking church official this archbishop from cameroon. he wrote to the head of the community of st john having decided to exclude from the u.c.c. several st john priests he explained himself. reverend brother some brothers of st john got themselves into situations of extreme gravity the brothers in question were about to be hauled in front of the courts at a risk of dirtying the damage of our church i used all my weight to make sure this
8:48 am
did not happen. what had these french priest done to incur the wrath of an archbishop. in cameroon a mostly catholic country the community of st john is an institution. the brothers run one of the biggest high schools in your own day the capital. but in vertu up in the east of the country the brothers of state john have left town. until two thousand and fourteen they oversaw this cathedral the biggest in the region. and. we go to see the archbishop the one who asked the same john priest to leave. months and you're a tango one of the african representatives of the vatican. doesn't it.
8:49 am
measuring nothing. and let's see who can have others who close in on the most who i came to know about either the defense on his own. sitting you know this is just an eastern call he did it. because it is what up on the train it wanted to be new he's going to die and then he mustn't think he's presented to topical and i find out as confused as he seemed to guess she. fought back lisa that i'm here really mad because i don't was an occasional if a new yankee margin the cashier is a major part of we did do. this one for the team it wanted to be new it was almost to. let it come in late. and. we tried to dig deeper but not all of what she needed to yesterday did realities. it was our view going to want it back and this christmas it comes.
8:50 am
down to. if you want to go to river but i wasn't led to device i said yes if you let go of it ourselves. yes thanks for your precious comments are great but they weren't exactly helpful. at the cathedral but will discover the reasons why the st john brothers hurriedly left town another alleged case of paraphilia. the sexual abuse of a number of boys. for three days we try to find these presumed victims. in this city where the catholic church is omnipresent it's hard to broach the subject. finally we find one of the kids who supposedly abused by the priest. today he's fifteen. killings and yes one of.

internet a good. compactness you know. after a few weeks the boy finally admitted everything to his parents they immediately went together to the bar to a law courts to file a complaint. but here nobody touches the church wasn't this a nice if you know the pill could be allowed to decode up as if you do know it when this o.c.d. just so she gets you. know so is that in itself she sees some of your own just. illegal to pick up to see that pretty simple sentence though the. sink full of simple tentacle don't exist got to eat. in virtually the justice of man seems to serve men of god. we have an appointment with a civil servant inside the ministry of justice. we film discreetly. she confirms the closeness between the church and one of the top judges. in the letters
8:53 am
mob with me in it where are they going to. let you do that but don't call it the excuse that i just told you to get out of there as you. just got it doesn't mean the are going to do that but it got to go then that's probably. the no question that should. come to them but you know. the model middle of brazilian oh my oh my where we'll all be. a civil servant gives us an excerpt from the victim's testimony. the name of father emanuel appears nowhere instead he's really doesn't need it as the plight of the priest. all together to bring about the market. well good not on our part but what you want to. have a very good. before leaving for to what we need
