“SPOTLIGHT” - Vatican Radio praises movie about Boston Globe coverage of clergy abuse – Thanks God!......Went to see "SPOTLIGHT", a new film which cause me some tension and discomfort as a life-long R. Catholic and a proud, 1/4 Irishman (thanks to my father’s mother). It not a secret that I do or seem to enjoy THROWING STONES at issues and/or people with whom I have differences. Well this movie – THREW BACK! It’s about The Boston Globe's investigatory efforts and publishing of the Catholic clergy sexual abuse which existed but was protected +/- camouflaged by the powerful Boston’s Catholic Church and it’s executive Cardinal. It gave me the feeling as if I was visiting a family member in a prison – not comfortable to believe the worst but forced to assume that it was true! Having been a Catholic all of my knowing life – and having been "somewhat" culturally aware, I was still uncomfortable. Sure there were a “FEW” – Sad but only a FEW! And the church always needs priest – so they should be cared for, corrected and re-employed! And although it’s easy for me to “throw Stones” as your “stuff” - this was “my stuff” – I was anxious and uncomfortable! Oh Hell, I knew about the “dirty Priests” but when my OX was being PUBLICALLY GORES – I didn't enjoy it! And couldn’t or wouldn’t and wasn’t able to grant the Boston Organization absolution! Fortunatly, I read this morning where the A Vatican Radio commentator also said the Boston Globe’s reporting, upon which the film is based, helped the Church in the United States “to accept fully the sin, to admit it publicly, and to pay all the consequences.” Maybe – Manybe NOT! But apparently, the Vatican Radio commentary says that the new film shows Globe journalists exercising “their most pure vocation” as journalists - Thanks God.
