subject

description

Contemporary theology applies the old notion of loci theologici also to media and film. It is not only films that are directly religious (biblical, hagiographies, etc.) that have theological significance, but also those that take up topics related to the Church in a critical way. Therefore, one should be aware of the appearance of successive films, documentaries and feature films, which raise the issue of sexual abuse against the youngest (paedophilia) also in the Church. The article presents the most important films, whose authors present the perpetrators of paedophilia, the mechanisms leading to its concealment and silence not only in the Church, but also in the media and society, as well as its victims. Films about paedophilia, which are a recognisable voice of victims in the public space, a cry for truth and justice, can also be useful tools for media education.
