The Keepers Documentary and Father Maskell's Abuse

• 30:01Tim recounts how his high school priest's crude comment would have seemed funny to him at the time, and explains his willingness to go along with it as humor rather than attraction.
• 30:17Alex Gibney directed documentaries on Scientology, torture prisons, and a film about deaf children being raped by a priest, which Tim struggles to describe.
• 32:37Father Maskell held a gun to girls' heads, called them whores, and raped them while his brother was police chief, yet parishioners praised his calming demeanor.
• 33:07Tim argues that Catholicism and Satanism are almost the same thing.
• 33:34The Vatican created an island to isolate problematic priests, which backfired when a Disney cruise crashed there and the children needed blessing.
• 34:28When the Vatican found out about the island plan, they got aggressive, shut it down, and turned it into a recycling facility where priests spend a month before returning to their parishes to abuse more children.
• 35:01The church covered up Maskell's abuse allegations for years, moved him around, and never properly addressed the problem.
• 35:24A psychology unit director asked the church to give him advance warning when they were sending over child-abusing priests, since they kept showing up claiming depression while actually confessing to raping teenagers.
• 36:04Tim imagines priests from other religions confronting a priest who molested children, with the priest denying he drinks and defending his actions as acceptable.
• 36:55Tim acknowledges that while pedophiles are sometimes depicted as tortured souls with urges, the glibness and satanic joking of these priests, combined with threats to families, makes them especially bad.
• 37:39Tim attended Catholic school for twelve years and was on a swim team but was never raped, and feels lucky about that fact.
