In 1962 the Vatican issued a confidential document, Crimen Sollicitationis, laying out procedures for handling accusations of child abuse, homosexuality, and bestiality among priests, binding bishops to secrecy under threat of excommunication. Journalist Colm O'Gorman, himself a survivor of clerical abuse in Ireland, investigates how that document shaped decades of institutional response to abuse allegations, and traces its reissue in 2001 under Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who became Pope Benedict XVI. The film draws on interviews with abuse survivors, canon lawyers, and church officials to examine how allegations were handled internally rather than referred to civil authorities, and asks how directly the Vatican's own rules contributed to cover-ups across multiple countries. O'Gorman's own case against the Irish church runs through the film as a throughline, connecting personal testimony to the wider paper trail of internal church correspondence. The result is a pointed piece of investigative journalism rather than a broad survey, built on documents and named officials rather than generalization.
