Deliver Us from Evil Page #2

Synopsis: Moving from one parish to another in Northern California during the 1970s, Father Oliver O'Grady quickly won each congregation's trust and respect. Unbeknownst to them, O'Grady was a dangerously active paedophile that Church hierarchy, aware of his predilection, had harbored for over 30 years, allowing him to abuse countless children. Juxtaposing an extended, deeply unsettling interview with O'Grady himself with the tragic stories of his victims, filmmaker Amy Berg bravely exposes the deep corruption of the Catholic Church and the troubled mind of the man they sheltered.

satisfy me and...

in a way that took care of my need

to reach out to somebody, you know.

From there, I don't know

how the relationship started,

that he got my address,

that he got in contact with my parents.

He...

came over to the house

a couple of times.

My mother's from Argentina,

so she has more

of a trusting attitude.

She had told him, I think,

that I was pulling away

from the family a little bit.

She thought it was a good idea

for me to spend time with him.

If somebody asked me,

"Where was," you know,

"What...

What kicks the bucket for you?"

Whatever the thing is.

"What triggers things off for you?"

You know, "What areas would be?"

And, if given a variety

of areas to consider,

you know, I'd have to say

certainly on the younger level.

That's where a lot of that surfaced.

And if they said to me,

"Well, do you feel aroused

when you see women?"

I'd probably say no.

"Do you feel aroused

when you see men?" No.

"Do you feel aroused

if you've seen children?"

I'd say, "Well, maybe. "

"How about children who are...

in swimsuits?"

I'd say, "Yeah. "

"How about children in underwear?"

I'd say, "Yeah," you know?

How about...

"If you thought you saw children naked?"

And I'd say, "Mmm, yeah. "

My last memory...

of Oliver...

is severe...

pain...

before I black out.

Years ago, Case was Pastor of St. Anne's,

and the parents called Case,

and said to him,

"You know, when we

picked up our daughter,

"she was not herself at all.

"She was very nervous

and looked very jumpy

and looked extremely anxious. "

I mean, he took me out of the house.

I said, you know,

"Sometimes I get carsick on the road. "

He said, "Put your head on my lap,"

and, boom, the abuse started.

I mean, I was on Highway 12,

you know, two minutes

away from my house, and it started.

And for 96 hours, that abuse

was happening until my parents came

and said, "Did you have fun with Father?"

And I'm, like, "He tickled me too much. "

How do you tell your parents

what you just went through?

They finally got it out of her that,

during the night,

Ollie had come into her room

and had molested her.

I think I tried

to be affectionate with her

by kissing her on the mouth.

And I know that

my hand went down,

and I think I brought up

her night dress

and tried to...

not tried to, I did touch her

in the genital area,

perhaps outside her clothing at first

and maybe, although I can't be specific,

I think I probably tried

to put my hand inside her underwear,

and I think that's about

the time I realized that...

it was not correct to continue,

and, although I'm not...

paraphrasing exactly

what I remember I did,

but I think I want to say
