it's a multinational of a particular kind one you all know some of you may even visit it's present across the globe and on the corner of your street. the catholic church. with its hierarchy. its communication. and its very darkest secret. to feeling a. bit australia seven percent of priests are thought to have sexually abused minors four percent in the united states. we discovered the clergymen found guilty of better fee via are still active often in contact with children. thanks to internal documents will reveal how church leaders protect priests accused of sexually abusing minors. by sending them from country to country

notably in africa. the investigation into these international exiles took us to cameroon. to argentina. to the united states. to france and to italy. during our travels we established this unprecedented map that regarding the transfers of priests involved in cases of better feeling. yet come m. sits and dig. that up with his off by a few that must evolve afaik was he not that into bang up stakes i mean that of the victims number tens of thousands marked with scars for the rest of their lives. our investigations would lead us all the way to pope francis who revealed how when he was archbishop of buenos aires he tried to influence the argentine justice department. to sunday that. infelicitous these out in the night and think

of the past few. investigated the mysteries of the church where on the altar of truth god's law seems to prevail over that of many. our inquiry into the international transfers of priests accused of pedophilia begins in the united states. we're in chicago in the shadow of this cathedral to would disappear a unique kind of protest. or it's you know it's not all are victims of pedophile priests. in their hands portraits of famous children when they were abused.

in the us sixteen thousand people have already launched complaints for sexual abuse against catholic priests. these victims have joined forces for the annual conference of their support group smout survivors network of those abused by priests. hello everybody. great to see you again and i think it looks like we've got a bigger group than last year which is even better news so how many of you are here for the first time. thanks to. remember that all of us here are survivors of sexual assaults and betrayals during our youth so if you're looking for an opportunity to share your experience with people who truly get it this is the place. recently the

organization has seen abuse victims from all over the world join its ranks it has become the internationale of those abused by the church. and me it will be here because of the drug use is so when somebody into adults as a child is a positive focus and honest but by that they gave us the sense that was up in this . where you're from so you are to say that i'm from germany from berlin and elicits with a very lives. when there was a new song about the from the focus on those years. just. the three years i was fifteen years old i was abused as a team for a long period of time with an oddly creased agreements just can't. account for over fifty countries. at the end of the conference we talked to one 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. 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. so far so all in the entire database we have forty four hundred names to be of any friend. 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 somehow spirited him back to france . where he lives 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 a sexual abuse of minors is thought to have fled to canada and be hiding in france . the story barely seems credible. we contacted the sister of one of the priests presumed victims. but as he told the league speaks to us from northern canada in a way territory her brother maher used to go he committed suicide five years ago he has 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 will be modest. he has seen the what happened she. was responsible about why you decided you should done. cards. do you think madea's was the only who sort of well.

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 of but also two other boys made anonymous by the police with black lines. a girl of fourteen is also among the alleged 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 clues where there's a monastery belonging to his community. so we catch the train to strasbourg.

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 what we lost track of him . but after several months of inquiries during a phone call a priest from a priori were 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 seemingly lives here in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. we'll film with a hidden camera. war. want to show he was

motioning to and. shoot it was. all our information was correct. yet all. the priest is here at the end of the corridor. you know so you know who can imagine the thought of article on the new foulness as well grosser it will give you only one used save on heaven what a screw up on like the best one for that's the only the story told in the west only knew every time because it was a said watch idea because he was off on film wanted to ruin it i wanted to fit there is was extra. in the movie live out her god or the only thing that's risky or so before she had one a day to destroy the little body. and number them bring months more. is going to screw norm do not use them good

so that he could push was a. trick or oh wait i'm here peter could hear you should take him. to the tsunami was an enemy because. we sure the photo of the young into it mari's tumbling formations that's concerning only. in the winters is a number of us in the soup insist this is b.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 felt it was expected as you really didn't want to be good to be caesar there is room. to be relinquished as it were. a salute to. the military who said it was it's written there than i have done a diet and you know it was it's no use. nasiri which community was made at the rush hour it's not it. doesn't just include some sort of scoop. was

a bit out of his it should most often surely bump off me papa our school an american christian was aimed at a very they want the graces and toys that he would need for. how can a priest accused of the sexual abuse of minors change countries and homes and stay out of the clutches of the police and justice for almost twenty years. and is it actually a truce. one man may have an explanation. back in the united states to meet a former american priest patrick wall. since the one nine hundred ninety s. has been a close up with news of pedophile scandal. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

don't accept the slow job of all the stars the right to live it's. the seat. of television. and i almost thought i put out the mere thought of that while i'm somebody that i shall know it's a mess you never know what's happening and what they're shooting but there it's here again. and it's left out of the. level. of money in the call of the lobby i just think you know that in the at you but i'm a dick of the city that's been in the muslims

a lot he's going to win the. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or something wanted. to go to the press this is like the full story in the morning when people are. interested always in the water. to. 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 the 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 a different path and to help survivors. since then patrick was become a whistle blower 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. it's the same pattern. in england in italy 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 the priest is is a perpetrator. he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous scandal is not. and if you move him outside the country that's. the geographic solution you can move in from the continent as long as you can speak the language that is needed it looks. as though 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. one evening we received dozens of internal documents from the community of st john five hundred brothers present throughout the world. community is highly controversy . 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. as we turn the pages we get a strange feeling the community seems to have become a master of the international displacement of priests suspected of sexually abusing children. among the pile of documents from the community 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 jusice 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 did not happen. what have these fringe 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 invert to walk 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 st john priest to leave. months and you're a tango one of the african representatives of the vatican. many will say no and no internet solution about those who killed an hour to measure i.q. it wasn't to go in and out of the. on the. city you know this is just a nice time cause he did it. because it is what up on the train it wanted to be knew his going to town then he must do to get his proceeded to topical knife as communities into just she. look he said i'm here because i don't was an occasional if a new yankee margin because he said he's a part of we did do. this one point and it wanted to be new it was

a little much to. let it come in. and. we tried to dig deeper but not at all if you want him to be a yes idiot realities no doubt if you're a commodity and symbols are going to want it back and this christmas it comes up. if you want to go to the river but i was at let's sort of i said. that you let go of it ourselves. yes thanks for your precious comments are great but they weren't exactly helpful. at the cathedral but we'll discover the reasons why the st john brothers hurriedly left town another alleged case of pedophilia. 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. percent yes. the cheerleader. she says but. this is. we show you one of the communities internal documents that we managed to procure the mug shots of all the st john brothers across the globe five hundred eight at. least real. it would see this priest had indeed been posted importune.

resumed and then for him to do a little. more. and it is a new food he said. he is doing. 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 and i lent us a nice little cradle out of to decode up as if you do know it just so she did you get the deal. she said. we don't about to see really pretty simple as that. for example.

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 what is most remarkable about it. but don't call it the explorers that much is called. to get out of it as you. just got it doesn't mean they're going to do that then you've got to go then that's probably good. for the person. but you know. the model. resilient oh my oh my we'll all be. a civil servant gives us an excerpt from the victim's testimony. the name of father emmanuel appears nowhere instead he's really doesn't need it as the plate the

priest. to get it will depend on the market. well could not will not buy it what you want it with a bit. of a very big thing. before leaving for to what we need another presumed victim. he too picks up father emmanuel from the mug shots. where his father emanuel now the french priest accused of sexually abusing at least two boys. among the communities internal documents are the postings made in two thousand and sixteen. since being expelled from her to join cameroon father emmanuel appears to be in bologna and in italy.

seems. to. try to see such. as. we wait for the father outside the priory. after a few hours mostly he finally shows up. we filmed discreetly . tell me it was. you know the. way. overstated. and also. it's a little from what i perceive. your body to tiff with if you can read those one i guess it. is because it fits you organise as if

you have a. little circle but. it's used to look at the political. best micro. pull for. the. city. official to fix the. susi he says so it's a cool. and you felt. good i thought it was if it's a metaphor. if it is what up on the. zippers or the. but of course at. the goody was actually it a lot is able to. see this is rooted very subtle indeed children are manipulated by the archbishop but father emanuel offers

another explanation. of. stock market trading at all time highs the debt peak everywhere as they had to. be five hundred percent. planted on the. of all the major ones till now me i'm just. cooked additional note of what was and gets up to linger some of these it's just what you're looking it's nice to know. somebody had seen him if you can also post. look with a showing at the. last two in the church. you think i'm sure. you have to

keep sending. boat up shipping. you up and most of the book hit the wall with the books and you will still lose you know i don't know what that movie. was the latest movies in the puss. boys and then you write oh yeah i've played this was going to do so.
