In this talk Mike Granville, an ex-catholic, highlights some key events in the history of the Catholic Church from the 2nd World War onwards and also talks about his personal experience of the church.
The meeting was advertised with the following text:
The Vatican has a long history of abuse of its people and of its power. It covers up its own moral crimes. And yet Popes have been welcomed and treated as celebrities.
Is it time to say - ENOUGH?

They have been getting away with murder, rape and genocide for 1,700 years and see no reason why that should change.
Only a major dose of reality on September 18th will end the myth.

Above the law?

This demonstration presents a once in a century chance to shatter that myth of Papal invincibility and demonstrate that no organization is above the laws of common decency and none can ignore the will of the people.
Only a massive and aggressive show of strength and outrage can effect any change and in that spirit I implore every moral person to make a super human effort to promote this monumental event.
Another chance like this may not occur in our lifetimes and the whole World is watching to see if we can really turn our words into action.
Don’t let them down.
