About the episode

In this months Big Talk series we take a look at the incredible 'spotlight' journalists at the Boston Globe who back in 2003 uncovered the systemic cover up of child sexual abuse at the hands of thousands of priests world wide. In part one, we explain at the structure of the Catholic church as well as it's resources and wealth. Then, we look into the first priest uncovered, John Geoghan. We delve into exactly how the church moved him around and he 'rehab' centres they sent him to. Then, the actual investigation and the obstacles the journalists faced.
