KEYNOTE: A Hollywood ‘Spotlight’ On Award-Winning Boston Globe Investigation

[@patrarus6362]

Excellent discussion! I loved the movie and saw it several times. Thank you for posting this press event!

[@djinnsbetpools]

I thought this video would have more views. This talk was fantastic! The real-life Spotlight team have such colorful personalities. I admire how Tom, Josh, and everyone involved gave their every effort to give respect to this issue, its severity, and the difficult work involved for these reporters to tell the story in a way that challenges their community and the Catholic Community. This movie really is a love story to investigative journalism.

Great interview, fantastic investigative work by the Globe and an excellent movie which really pays to this serious subject!

[@patrarus6097]

Love these interviews! I've seen the movie 5 times already and have started subscribing to the online edition of the Boston Globe. I'm a practicing Catholic yet cannot condone the cover-up of child sexual abuse. It's a tragedy; fortunately, the Spotlight team brought it to light.

+Pat Rarus you are frightening! 3000+ skyfairy's how and why would you settle on just one them? you and jerry sandusky's wife- dispicable! the vatican jesuits control child sex slavery- pull you head out!

+Pat Rarus Why don't you leave that evil institution? You CAN. "Whom the Son sets Free is FREE indeed." Jesus speaking in John chapter 8.

It's an awful pity that Cardinal Law and others who put those priests back into communities where they could continue to abuse children were not made to account for their actions under oath in a court of law. To that end I think the battle was only half won.

And he was allowed to escape to the vatican

In any other organization, whether for-profit or non-profit, the CEO would have been fired or forced to resign. Pope John Paul II was the pope from 1978-2005. The Boston Globe broke this story in 2002. There's no way that he and many others in the chain of command didn't know what was going on with these priests. Every Catholic should've demanded that the pope and every person complicit in the cover-up resign and be charged with the crimes they committed. What what did the church do? Declared that pope a "saint." What a farce. Just imagine how all of the priests' victims felt when that occurred. They were betrayed not only by the church hierarchy, but also by every Catholic who looked the other way and said, "oh well, what can we do?"

[@GrtSatan]

Agreed. Sexual predators were identified but not punished.

[@djinnsbetpools]

Josh raised some fair points, too, about the state of journalism today. Then, Robby pointed out both points that, today, there are fewer investigative journalists and more accessible information, which I find sad. I agree with Josh that it's easier today for the media to cite vague sources and each other than to build solid documentation.

What aboutADA George Burke who at the start of the movie came to pick up Gagon at the police station the innocent young police officer and the older police man who said what court and what records. Another time a big black police officer said he didn't want to cuff a priest. This shows how it was all over Mass. I knew about this as a child but thought it was local. Donna M. ONeil

Boston... Busted!

[@Nikitoz9595]

Thx for the video.

[@annabell3385]

It's a shame reporters today aren't given time to investigate.

[@garyd250]

This didn't just happen in Boston. It was happening all over Massachusetts.

[@captur69]

And the world...

[@VtRD]

@@captur69 It isn’t confined to the Catholic Church, all churches include abusers. . All organizations whose membership is children have abusers in them, too, such as as Scouts.

[@captur69]

@@VtRD 🤝 agreed..

[@donnaoneil2854]

You are very nieve it goes way back to Cushing knowing. I don't think he did anything but moved them around but we all knew. We had one in this parish here in Florida actually all of Florida had had one. I will not go back to church I watch it on TV. Mederose had male protitstudes delivered all the time.
