Unlike most sessions in our diocese it was given by Mrs. Doty from Virtus not the local people. The guys in the video that I saware not actors they are convicted child molesters who were participating in the video as a"community service" part of their punishment. She said that these types of criminals generally don't display remorse or even recognize what it is that they are doing. It blew my mind when I was told that. I still can't comprehend it.[/quote]

that makes sense. thanks for the explanation. i don't know why that information isn't explained in the video itself.

to clarify...i never thought the molestors were actors. but i'm quite positive that the victims were played by actors. in reality, that's totally fine, because why should we cause more trauma to victims by asking them to be on video? however, it just seems dishonest that they don't mention these details in the video itself.

I do remember those interviews. I think maybe I can kind of understand why they come off so cold... maybe because no emotion is enough, no tears begin to cover it, the weight of it is so preposterous that one just stands aside and ignores it?

I just kept thinking, what is it that happens to a person to bring them to this point? I mean, where they even have this temptation? Did they corrupt their desires by a million little consents? Did God allow Satan to suddenly visit this temptation upon them? Is it some sort of horrible insanity?

I guess there are some things that it is a mercy not to understand.

Amen.

For a child molester it is all about them. The rest of us merely exist to service their desires, we are not even human.
