In the past decade, much has been said about the Catholic Church's sex abuse scandal. Yet with Pope Francis, we have all thought that the crisis was over, that the church had learned its lesson. What we have found out instead, is rather shocking. In the 3 years that he has sat on St Peter's throne, Pope Francis has done very little about the priests who abuse children and the bishops who cover up their abuses: 2 pedophile priests out of 3 are still in the clergy, the special tribunal he announced does not exist and bishops are still instructed to not report abuses to the authorities. In this film, historian John Dickie investigates the causes of the Pope's inaction.
One minute I thought I knew what was going to be the outcome... then it switches. it has a very creative plot I could see developing.
I was pleasantly surprised, this actually turned out to be a great movie, action and humor.
From start to finish Hinter dem Altar is a roller coaster ride of beautiful action
Vania del Borgo did a great job creating easily the best film of the year.
John Dickie is an excellent, natural actor. This movie is funny, touching, sad, and quirky. I love it.
The movie (without question) deserve several Oscar nominations; for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, acting and more!
Not much of a fan of John Dickie but this movie was good.
great from start to finish
