Sex Abuse in the Church: Code of Silence

Details

Overview

Secret internal documents reveal how Catholic Church officials protect priests accused of pedophilia and sexual abuse by moving them from country to country, sometimes as far away as Africa. Even Pope Francis is implicated. When he was bishop of Buenos Aires, he tried to influence the Argentinean justice system in order to protect a convicted priest. From Cameroon to Argentina, America to France and Italy, this investigation traces the transfers of pedophile priests.
