If anyone can get to the bottom of this story and 'tell it how it is' is Michael Moore. He pulls no punches and I don't believe he can be bought off like so many others can.

I went to one of his movies with friends and we all got our money back. Most of what he puts into the movie was on TV or in the papers already. Nothing new. He just like to add his view. If he is going after the Catholic Church, is he also going after all the other religions? Such as the rabbis?

we really need Michael Moore to tackle this problem and throw his usual level of BS into the fray. He has never let his vision be clouded with facts. The Church as policed its on before and they will survive if thry get really serious about weeding out the criminals. I must agree with domuscanus that the number of alleged abuses is becoming more inflated as time goes on. This is one reason why immediate and positive action must be undertaken by the heirachy of the Church.

Oh, please Michael, please DO !!! Start in Abbeville, Louisiana and with Gilbert Gauthe! He is infamous & there are plenty still who know much about how the Catholic church learned to cover its arse. Look up a man named Ray Mouton, whose religion was robbed of him when his church hired him to look into it and then to cover up for them. Look into how that church used nonCatholic attorneys to learn how to protect themselves from law suits. Learn how altar boys, some 4 to a family, were systematically abused the the priests were shuffled around. Many are still in the same locations, still alive. Check with CBS 60 Minutes footage. Tons of facts, and that's just one place. I'd pay big bucks to watch on the big screen the humiliation of the most despicable bunch of perverts in existence. I may not attend the church anymore, I certainly don't think the dead pope was a saint and the sitting pope is despicable, but I am Catholic and they don't rule me and can't take it away from me. I pray for the undeveloped countries where I think pedophile priests still enjoy their perversion.

He's a showman, but he does put a spotlight on subjects we don't want to look at in broad daylight, but must to evolve and reform.

Here in Ireland, we are beginning to have some doubt, apart from the hysterics of course, on how many victims were involved in this scandal. I firmly believe children were abused, but certainly not the pitched numbers we are fobbed off with. Thus, the mumbo-jumbo of personal pain has become the liturgy of modern religion. Instead of sacraments and grace and sin and sacrifice, clergymen are now talking of "hurt" and "deep offence" and "wounded feelings". Of course, since many of us Irish love nothing more than winning the national-victimhood competition, this obscenity has spread like measles through the Island. I want no part of this witch hunt. Moore could do the world a real favour and start tackling his grotesque weight problem. I watched this tub of lard prating about the health care system in the US, all the while sucking up more health care assets than a gang of Tibetan Monks overdosing on a grub binge. As for his 'research', please, let us not fool ourselves again by believing this peculiar man and indulging hi chemically induced food fantasies. It is most unseemly-and costly.

I think it's a great idea. Michael Moore would really shake them all up.

The church needs to hire a "safe church czar" to help clean up its image and get the main stream media critics off of its back. Maybe Kevin Jennings, obamas safe school czar, can take on the project after he gets through bringing change to Americas school children.http://biggovernment.com/jhoft/2009/12/07/fistgate-barack-obamas-safe-schools-czars-2000-conference-promoted-fisting-to-14-year-olds/
