ISRAEL
The Jerusalem Post
By HANNAH BROWN \ 01/21/2016
Directed by Tom McCarthy With Michael Keaton, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel McAdams Running time: 128 minutes Rating: R (for some language, including sexual references) Many of my colleagues at the New York Post were educated at Catholic schools and, after a few drinks, they liked to reminisce. I used to think that their stories about the cruelty of the nuns and priests were exaggerated for comic effect.
But now I wonder whether the brutal corporal punishment they described wasn’t just a small part of the abuse they endured.
The worldwide revelations of pedophilia in the Catholic Church have reached up to high levels of the Vatican in recent years.
Perhaps some people have become jaded about this issue, particularly those of us who are not Catholics and never put our faith in anyone from the Church.
