Hi Marina!
It is quite the review, I read it rapidly, but intend to get back to it. I have been hearing a lot about the Catholic church's scandals here too in Canada. There is a co-worker who is pretty bitter about the Catholic priests, as her son-in-law has been abused as a child by the Christian brothers I believe. Anyway, as you may know it messed up his entire life and now as an adult, he is going to Anglican church as he cannot go near the word "Catholic".
There are a lot of scandals here too, I don't know if you ever heard of a movie called "The Children of Duplessis", based on true facts took place in the province of Quebec here in Canada when the nuns were sending those young orphans to psychiatric institutions in order for them to keep their grants coming from the government, as they had decided to grant the hospital but not schools... So, you can imagine the rest! It is sickening, that movie made me throw up litteraly.
There must be similar stories in Italy, I am sure.
