With 100,000 victims of clergy abuse, one billion dollars in settlements and expenses, and 556 priests accused in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Catholic Church has taken a serious hit in the wake of recent pedophile priest scandals. But what is the human face of this debacle? Meet Father Oliver O'Grady, whose abuse of children in northern California over three decades resulted in repeated parish reassignments, followed by the proverbial slap on the wrist by the Vatican, while victims like Ann Jyono and Nancy Sloan (and their families) were left to pick up the pieces of their broken lives and faith. The guilelessly candid interviews filmmaker Amy Berg elicited from O'Grady are astonishing; Deliver Us from Evil boldly etches a chilling portrait of moral deception and innocence lost centering on one of the most unsettling documentary protagonists in memory–the twinkle-eyed local parish priest with the treacherous heart of gold. — A.
