"Mea Maxima Culpa": New Doc Exposes Horror of Catholic Child Sex Abuser and Heroism of His Victims This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form. AMY GOODMAN: We turn now from an evolving story of child sex abuse in Britain to a long-simmering case of pedophilia here in the United States that involves the Catholic Church. A new documentary by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney investigates how a charismatic priest in Milwaukee abused more than 200 deaf children in a Catholic boarding school under his control. TERRY KOHUT: I was afraid to tell my mother, because I didn’t think she would believe me. GARY SMITH: It was hard for me to communicate with my father, and so my dad would speak, and Father Murphy would interpret. AMY GOODMAN: Some of the courageous deaf men who later came forward to protect other children from Father Murphy—and to demand he be held accountable. Well, for more on this incredible story of how these men stood up to the power of the Catholic Church, we’re joined by the film’s director, Alex Gibney. Alex Gibney, welcome Democracy Now!
Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A visualization of drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004 Eyewitnessing, The Uses of Images as Historical Evidence What place do images hold among other kinds of historical evidence? In Eyewitnessing, Peter Burke reviews graphics, photographs, films, and other media from many countries and periods and examines their pragmatic uses. This profusely illustrated book surveys the opportunities and the challenges of using images to understand other times. In a thorough and compelling defense of the importance of the visual to history, Burke argues that images should not be considered mere reflections of their time and place, but rather extensions of the social contexts in which they were produced. The author describes and evaluates the methods by which art historians have traditionally analyzed images, and finds them insufficient to deal with the complexities of visual imagery. In developing a richer mode of visual interpretation, Burke devotes much attention to religious icons and narratives and political propaganda posters, caricatures, and maps.

Te aseguro que es un proceso rápido y sencillo si segues rigurosamente los pasos. Es pura burocracia pero la sensación de tener el certificado de apostasía en tus manos y sentirte oficialmente fuera de esta institución sexista, fascista y homófoba es inigualable. Te animo a que lo hagas. Puedes tenerlo en una semana con poco esfuerzo. PASO 1. Mucha gente se salta este paso y luego no consigue la apostasía. PASO 2. Tienes que saber dónde te bautizaron (lo sabrá tu familia más cercana). Alguno quizá te pregunte si quieres volante de bautismo (que es gratuito) o partida de bautismo. Puedes ir a recogerla o pedir que te la manden por correo. PASO 3. Es gratis y lo hacen en cualquier comisaría (mejor si es una de policía nacional). PASO 4. PASO 5. PASO 6. Es lo que aconsejo si las distancias lo permiten. PASO EXTRA.
