As horrifying as it is to note, the timing of the HBO documentary "Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God," which premieres Monday night, could not have been better if divine intervention were involved.

Last week, the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles released documents chronicling how Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and other church officials managed to thwart investigations into the sexual abuse of hundreds of local children to protect the accused priests.

To which this film by Oscar winner Alex Gibney essentially says, "If you think that's bad, watch this."

His documentary, Mea Maxima Culpa: Silence in the House of God details the integral role that Benedict, when he was Cardinal Ratzinger, played in investigating the sex-abuse scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, and, given the ample space that the New York Times devoted to that subject in its report on the resignation, I was left with impression that, behind the scenes, the continuing controversy may have played a part in the Pope's decision to step down.


"I can't help but think that the sex abuse crisis must have been on his mind," Gibney emailed back when I asked for his take on the news.

I thought the Notre Dame Cathedral was the house of god. It's what it says on their website

"It is one of the masterpieces of Gothic architecture," the French government tourism site says. "More than a historical monument, this cathedral is above all 'the House of God and the abode of men[.]'"

Notre Dame Cathedral fire threatens to wipe out 'transcendental' cultural treasure

Gods house is burning. I hope he had good insurance.

About 98% of the allegations against the Catholic Church concern homosexual predator priests molesting boys but hypocrite lefties sued the Boy Scouts to allow overt homosexuals to be allowed to supervise boys.
