The scandale of “brother pedophile” | M6 | 66 minutes

There has never been such a public confession: last June, on television, Brother Pierre-Etienne confessed to some fifty counts of sexual abuse of children aged 5-11. According to him, his superiors were aware, but did nothing. Since then, others have come forward to testify to the paedophile lapses within the community of the Beatitudes, a charismatic Christian movement established in some fifteen countries. Several former members have accused it of sectarian lapses and the organisation has been placed “under surveillance” by the Vatican. An investigation into a movement that, in France, enjoys considerable support.
