...recent release of director Amy Berg's Deliver Us from Evil, a profile of defrocked priest Oliver O'Grady, the most notorious pedophile in American Catholicism, has already resulted in front-page news stories and in O'Grady's departure from exile in Ireland, where newspaper accounts of the film made him a marked man. It renewed interest by the Los Angeles County district attorney in prosecuting the church hierarchy for its cover-up role in a narrative that both breaks the heart and angers the blood...
...game starter Liam O’Hagan making his highly anticipated return from suspension next week, there is no guarantee that Pizzotti will have another chance to prove himself as starter. IN WITH THE NEWThe defensive game saw a mixture of new and old faces.Ever-present senior tackle Michael Berg and junior defensive end Brad Bagdis proved Saturday was business as usual.Bagdis posted 11 tackles, including one sack and four for a loss.

...perhaps, not quite enough useful activity to occupy an intelligent and still active mind.

...just incidentally, includes the abuse of a nine-month-old child. The good - if finally cashiered and jailed - father is a little vague about the details, which considering the extent of his depredations is perhaps understandable. That is not true of his victims and their parents, several of whom Berg also interviewed extensively. They remember everything, in scarifying detail. The contrast between their often wailing anguish and his pallid disconnectedness is, perhaps, the most vivid, and heartbreaking, aspect of Deliver Us from Evil. Its most chilling sequence finds O?Grady attempting to write letters to some of his victims...
...Cardinal, of course, denies all. Why, he contends, in a videotaped deposition that Berg has unearthed, he barely knew the man and has no useful memories of him - so many priests under his command, so little time. He has an equally slippery monsignor supporting this claim. Berg has also found letters from Mahoney to O?Grady that suggest he was closer to the priest than he has been letting on. The videotapes are particularly damning. It is fascinating to observe a Prince of the Church rather obviously not telling the whole truth. What a porous recall the man enjoys...
