nice 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 pedophilia. deck a man sits in the. up with his off by a few that lost even after it was you are not that into being up six i mean there and 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 the. list was d.c. and the engine kept up the past. investigated the mysteries of the church where on the altar of truth god's law seems to prevail over that of man. 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 just have very unique kind of protest. or it's. 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. i mean it will be here because of the weather and use is so huge of every endeavor to succeed this purpose and to let this go ahead of us but by that they gave us the sense that was up but it is. where you're from so yeah we're trying to save it i'm from germany from berlin and elicits with a very loose. when there was a new song about the from the philippines of those years. just. three three years i was fifteen years old i was abused as a team for

a long period of time with an oddly priest agreements just can't. count from 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. or 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. 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 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 deep in 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 hold a modest. he has seen the what happened she. was responsible about why you decided you should run. the. cards. do you think madea's was the only sort of well.

we get our hands on a warrant issued to the canadian police for father of war's arrest. they've been after the priest since one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. on it we discover the name of mari as of 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. 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 with next to two of time nearly all and that's what we lost track of him. but after several months of inquiries during a phone call to a priest from a priori were father of war had stayed unwittingly gave us a new lead. which is to see the priest one of the by the canadian police for nineteen years for sexually abusing four children seemingly lives here

in strasbourg among his religious community. from now on. will filled with a hidden camera. war. want to show he was motioning to and. that was. all our information was correct. all. the priest is here at the end of the corridor or. no show you know who can imagine the thought of article on the new power almost as well grocery bill. only one used a vow never to work a school for one of the best in fact that's the only the story taught in the west on the new every time i see it as a said watch i was just off on full body to ruin it i wanted to figure it was extra

. in the movie live out about the only thing that's risky or so before she had one a day to destroy the book about. sleep and another member in 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 american food. we sure the photo of the young into it mari's time to lick commercials that's for sure. in the winters is a number of us in the soup insist this is b.s. i've also got actually is a good buck is you did those you don't need and don't feel the same maybe i thought it was expected as you really didn't want to be good to be caesar there is room. to be relinquished there's no room. in the middle who said it was

it's written there than i have done a diet and you know it was it's no use of. nasiriya which community was near the rush hour it's that it. isn't just a place some sort of scoot. was a bit out of his it shimmers off really blown off when the papa arsk. who's a local person who said that as though they were all evil the greys isn't always going to be with me. 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 isolated to. one man may have an explanation. back in the united states to be there for more american priest patrick walsh. since the one nine hundred ninety s. has been a close up witness of pedophile scandal. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy evil in front cation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic to follow the only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and. don't accept the slow job of the oldest was ready to leave a little bit it's. a challenge.

i almost thought i could love me it. had been my watch but i'm somebody that doesn't know it's a mess you never know what's happening and whether they're shooting little birds here get. out of. bed. just thinking of that is what i meant because that's. when they. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

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 then 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 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. the priest is is a perpetrator. he simply moves him to a different spot where the previous. and if. you move him outside the country that's. the geographic solution you can move in from the continent as long as he 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 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 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 dig the capital. but in virtue of 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. many will say no that. salute you know that those who killed are now on them as well it wasn't to go out into the. on the. sit in 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 down then he must do to get his presented to topical and i found an excuse and he seemed to guess she. fought back he said i'm here because i don't was an occasional if a new yankee was going to crash it is a part of what you do. want to point to and it wanted to be new it was a. lead coming late. and. we tried to dig deeper but not always. easy to do a reality see a lot out of your commodity bud and see what's out of your going to want to go back in this cruise missile. if you want to go to the river but i was at let's see device as it. is that you let go of it ourselves. yes thanks for your

precious comments are great but they weren't exactly helpful. i think the future of the two i will 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 p.c.'s. she says but this is.

we show him one of the community's internal documents that we managed to procure the mug shots of all the st john brothers across the globe five hundred and eight and. you. see this priest had indeed been posted in her to a. you are abusing the rules coming for you to do or go to school. to school so you do. see it go see it. and it is a new flu is it the early. days. the. 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 i lent their son a nice little cradle out of to dick on up as if you do know it when this all is you did just so she did you get the deal. she says yeah sorry yeah. we don't live up to caesar that pretty simple as that is the. same for simple logical don't exist. in. the justice of man seems to serve men of god. we have an appointment with a civil servant inside the ministry of justice. film discreetly. she confirms the closeness between the church and one of the top judges. in the letters most of them in it what are they going to. do that but don't call us to expose them

i just ask you to get out of there as you have just got to do going to do simply because well then that's probably good. although i should be sure to. read them but you know. the model. is really you know my oh my what. a civil servant gives us an excerpt from the victim's testimony. the name of father emmanuel up. there's nowhere instead he's really doesn't need it as the planet the priest. all together. well could not will not part. with. the thing. before leaving pretty well we need another presumed victim. he too picks up father emmanuel from the mugshots.

since he was. where his father emanuel now the french priest accused of sexually abusing at least two boys. among the community's 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 initially when. it comes. to the interests of such. of them i'm we wait for the father outside the priory. after a few hours mostly positive he finally shows up. we filmed discreetly . tell me it was rule. you know that there was

a. match yes we were going to drop. an f.a.q. is available over to the tories on the east and how they but that is a false as fans don't care it will totally unjust what is. your vulcan is what i mean to tiff with that if muslims will commit this when i press or. three or four show interest in moscow as a policy is because it. you know guys give awkwardnesses if you have a. little sickle but before it's mistook at the end of the political i have actual bessie and i go. full for luck and reach for the. good one there was an angel in the months year. on the city since it was official to fix the example. susi says as he said it's up for. i want to just i know you've got

a little sister to do that for the good i think it was if i'm not a family. if you will cause it is one upon the to the point puno always kind of done there's really more yes sure to play as opposed to illinois but of course at the actual bank the was actually it a lot is able to. the groceries for one. so this is rooted in a very subtle indeed children are manipulated by the archbishop but father emanuel offers another explanation. cooked additional subversive note of what was and gets up there to look at some of these it's interesting. and it's not enough. simply you have so many methods and also opposing. looked with a showing of the skeleton is lost when i. don't know if he think it will show me.

you have to see thirty. volts of shipping. yep and most of the book is the work of the person able. to say no i don't know what the whole. thing was the reason the pus. boys and the out there yet have plucked.
