Yeah he admitted that he sexually abused young girls but I seriously do not have any sympathy for what he done to them. Why did they have interview him? Like hes just a dirty miserable person who should've been locked away. I would've preferred to hear what the victims have to say. I definitely didn't want to hear what he says. Whenever he talked, he made me sick to my stomach, why is he still alive to tell the tale? I swear to god, why did Amy Berg have to do this? I just can't stop asking this question - why did they have to interview him?!. I would've rathered him silenced than hear him speak, it made me ears bleed. Sick pervert, he doesn't deserve to be in this project, he deserves punishment! Why are we giving him credit here?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Disturbing but enlightening documentary which takes you into the mind of a sexual predator at the highest level: the Catholic priest. A must-see for anyone who is interested in how the Catholic church handles allegations of sexual abuse in the church and how the long- term effects of its victims. The documentary details just how deep the rabbit hole goes in the cover-up these heinous crimes in order protect the reputation of the Catholic church. This is a balanced, well-made documentary which includes both personal testimonies and courtroom depositions. You get a true insight into the psyche of both the victim and the predator, and you want to keep following the lives of these people past the conclusion. An excellent documentary if you can handle it!

Documentary about Father Oliver O'Grady, a Catholic priest who was relocated to various parishes around the United States during the 1970s in an attempt by the Catholic Church to cover up his rape of dozens of children.Whether or not this documentary is objective is something I will not concern myself with. Typically, I think a documentary works best if it does not take a stand and lets the facts speak for themselves. However, in this case, it is hard to see a way to be neutral on child abuse -- we might be able to rationalize it by saying Father O'Grady is mentally ill, but we would never find his actions acceptable.There are two levels of wrong here. First, the direct wrong: O'Grady and the children. He ruined dozens of families, and these are wrongs that can never be made right. And whether he was a priest or not, we would find him to be an evil man. And yet, he served less than ten years in prison for the abuse (he did later return to prison for child pornography). How can this happen? But the deeper wrong is the cover-up. If O'Grady had abused one child and the matter was dealt with appropriately, it would not be the major story it is. Instead, he was moved to another parish and abused again. And then moved and abused again... and again... and while the bishop may not be criminally liable, the actions of O'Grady's superiors are in some ways just as much responsible for the crimes as the man himself. And while they may be covering their own butts for political reasons (to be promoted), it does the Church as a whole no good when the truth gets out.This is a story of the evils of abuse -- both child abuse and the abuse of power. And it is also a look at the Catholic Church and how it may be destroying itself, not through its beliefs, but through its inaction.

Deliver Us from Evil recounts the life of former Catholic priest Oliver O'Grady as a serial child molester in Northern California from 1973 until his conviction in 1993. During this period, O'Grady sexually abused twenty five children while prominent leaders of the church failed to ensure basic legal protections for the victims despite knowledge of the abuse.The emotions in this grim documentary are raw and real. Director Amy Berg uses on camera interviews with the now exiled O'Grady and several of his victims to present a compelling moral indictment against the Roman Catholic Church for their blind engagement and silencing of decades of sexual abuse.The sobering stories of the victims give us a full grasp of the psychological ramifications of childhood sexual abuse, the stunted emotional growth, and the persistent pain and shame that clings throughout the entirety of a victims life. O'Grady's appearances, being equally poignant, provide an intimate glimpse into a child molester's psyche. However, his candor and seemingly cavalier attitude towards the casualties of his heinous acts, is difficult to grasp. The former priest appears unmoved by his wrongdoings and does not express genuine remorse nor shy away from discussing his lewd, pedophillic urges.Towards the end of the film we learn that O'Grady himself had been abused as a child by a member of the clergy and his older brother. With this revelation, it becomes clearer why O'Grady is the monster that he is.
