just saw all the 7 episodes. one word - Brilliant. Hats off to her ex students who are looking for her killer and all those who came forward with the abuse against the priest!! you guys are determined and so brave!
It was still not just him. Many other people are involved. And it is important to talk about it and find every monster that try to cover it so other people will not have the idea that they can go with it. The audacity of some of these people, I was full of rage watching this series. However great document that have made great impact on me.
Imagine watching all the episodes. The second episode sets up everything: teenage girls are abused by Chaplain; they are made to swallow because he told them it was holy spirit; the abusers somehow never mentioned these things to her parents; the police, FBI and government helped protect the people of parish. A quick google search would tell you that they lived upto 62 years of age without getting charged for anything. No one got justice. The rest of the episodes would be just demoralising ones. Who would want to watch that?
When Jane Doe read her testimony and cried, my heart went out to her. I know what it is like to keep a hidden pain for years. It eats you up like cancer.... Politicians, police man and businessmen were involved. This is bigger than we can imagine....No matter what, my God will have the final judgment. Amen.
I give your comment a thumbs up, and I’m on episode 5…but, I found a hole in Jane Doe’s story and am waiting for it to be answered..She said, in this Doc, on camera, that Sister Cathy hugged her-saying that she’ll “take care of it” and told Jean (Doe) to go home and “have a great summer.” Then Jean said, she never saw Sister Cathy alive again-which I take as, Sister Cathy never returned to her job as a teacher. Implying that she was killed. But, Sister Cathy went missing in Nov, not in the summer. Is this ever addressed? I believe much of what Jean (Doe) remembers-but I think her timeline is muddled…
@@dorleedee7702 Sister Cathy didn’t return to Keough fall of ‘69, she went to go teach at public high school with Sister Russell, and was killed that November
@@dorleedee7702 they didnt saw sister cathy because sis cathy and sis russell,was transferred to another school , a public school, and that was also the time they stayed at their new apartment until she went missing on nov. Even though she was at a new school she was still in touch with some of the students whom she knew had problems at the old school days before she went missing.
@@dorleedee7702 She never returned to her job, meaning she left Keough. And started teaching at a local school. Then in november she disappeared, at that time she was working in a public school, not the same place as jane doe
My mom is a Virgo and is a extreme introvert, and I am as well although I'm a Taurus! Lol but all we do is watch documentaries like this one (or just ID Discovery) and while we watch it we knit or crochet, other then that if we don't do that then we read, or in my case also video games. But you comment is so me! I love it!! My boyfriend who is kinda a introvert himself, always jokes about me just being in my pjs all day and watching these types of thing while I make baby blankets (I'm expecting my 2nd baby, a boy) and how I feel like just me doing those 2 things in one day is a VERY productive day, then I fall asleep and repeat. I'm a stay at home mom so it's easier for me to keep my introvert lifestyle, some days I'll switch it up and go out to buy yarn but ya know! Online shopping is a thing lmao
depends what one means by "entertain" , yeah, there is saying fucking off to adversity, and then there's just being an unempathic selfish arsehole, no one wants to deal with someone like that. it is easier to be kind, than it is to be nasty to someone. but, if one finds it easier to be nasty, then one should really look closely at oneself. imo. for any who gave been hurt by the evil institutions of the church, from their magdelene laundries to priests messing with altar boys, it's fucking vile, disgusting. this is what happens when people are forced to go against nature, that whole enforced celibacy thing, priests not being allowed to get married.that's not healthy, not normal. unless someone is genuinely asexual, which is apparently very rare, then they should be allowed to have normal relationships, otherwise it comes out in warped, sick ways. as for the nuns, beating young women and children, that's just pure evil. I know this isn't what this particular documentary is about, am just referring to all the vile stuff that went on in catholic countries especially throughout the last century. as for this, and the cover-up, well, they believe in hell, don't they? assuming they've ever even read a line from that bible book. it says "better to tie a millstone around your neck and jump into the depths of the sea, than it is to lay a hand on one of my children". so I'd take that as, that piece of filth priest and associates is going rot, good enough. and may that poor nun and any like her, r.i.p.
Sad, yes. These comments are the result when kids get on their parent's computer, smart phone(not in this case), when parental control feature not activated on all electronics.
I grew up in the area and one of my sisters attended Keough around the time this was going on as well as a few female friends I knew and still know. Let me put it this way, I will never lose my faith in God, but I have lost mostly all faith in those who claim to represent Him. God bless and comfort anyone who may have been abused by these sick individuals as they are surely wolves in sheep's clothing. I believe that my relationship with God is my own and when it comes to someone in the middle speaking on behalf of Him. I don't care how good he or she can quote the bible, they are human just like me and in no way is any closer to God then I am especially when after all is said and they pass the hat around for donations used to keep retainers on lawyers.
barefoot191 hi. With respect, why did the god you insist is real do nothing? But please do by all means share your best evidence that the god of bible is real. Thanks.
Yeah, the Church as an institution "controlled" by men shouldn't exist. Let everyone have the Faith they want and their own relationship to god. Church as an Institution is just pure corruption, some kind of mafia in plain sight, nothing else.
This documentary is incredible truly sad that justice was not served. I’m so proud of Cathy and those who stood up for something that was extremely wrong. This was fascinating. I hope one day justice will be served for the women who went through hell and for their family members. Rest In Peace Sister Cathy, you never ever deserved this.
netflix is not just a broadcasting media for series anymore, they are a soundboard for people to express what they have to say. make more please netflix, you have all our support ! ♥
This series took me to a dark awful place. The second chapter really is nightmare material, it broke my heart and shattered my soul and i really respect and admire the victims that dare to talk so vividly and raw about their experiences. Also is very heartwarming to know that there is people out there who keep looking for justice.
4 years late I know and while not a Netflix series, the documentary Deliver Us From Evil about Father O'Grady is just as disturbing and dark. The subject matter is essentially the same
What a scary story, absolute must watch but warning this covers some very graphic stuff. Put it this way if it was up on RU-vid s a series it would be demonetized in an instant. Netflix is fast becoming the social pulse with shows like this. RU-vid has sadly lost the plot.
I’m pissed off because the nun was trying to do the right thing which was to protect the abused students from pedo Meskell and she lost her life for it. It’s so unbelievable that the church protected him and the police didn’t do that much to solve the case because he had a brother who was a police officer. Religion + corrupted system = huge damage
@@abdulshabazz3397 I KNOW! She was murdered for confronting a rapist (probably) and then you have rapists in stuff like the Boston Spotlight story that are PROTECTED by the Church, while that same Church never sought justice for Sister Cathy! What the hell?? The Church as an Institution is even more corrupted than the idea of hell.
@@abdulshabazz3397 we here in Scotland are fighting for justice for victims of child abuse by a paedophile ring masquerading around as a football club. Celtic football club have been harbouring paedophiles since the 70s and there are hundreds if not thousands of victims. The Scottish government and main stream media are trying to help abusers sweep it under the carpet! Decades of abuse that spans the full globe even in the USA. Scotland's shame is Celtic. Chairman board members ex players and even children's parents all complicit in not calling the authority's or police. The Heart breaking stories I have heard make it unbearable to sleep at night.
I am extremely pissed off. The Catholic faith should be burned to the ground. Figuratively of course, but the Catholic church is the most disgusting thing ever. It really is more like an internal cult than a religion
my sister went to this school, i️ find it crazy. she doesn’t want to watch the show, but she always told me about old rumors of a hallway no one ever went down because they “didn’t feel alone” or that they were being followered. gives me the chills every time i️ think about it.
I shook my head with every disgusting lie and cover up that I almost fainted. Especially seeing head city attorney of sexual abuse Sharon May lying straight to the camera with that evil grin.
This series was so beautifully done. I really felt the love Cathys students had for her. It's great watching this group of people who care grow so much
This whole documentary was so scary because it showcased a horrific story that you only see in movies! The level of sexual abuse on children - of both genders - and the inhumane murder to cover it all up. Not only that, what really shocked me is that all authorities were in on everything and they allowed these - so called - priests to continue doing what they were doing without even making an attempt to stop it. Shaming victims, turning the tables on them, turning everything against them with zero sympathy! That was way too awful! God bless Cathy's soul, she was sent for a higher calling. And even though she died, her death did exactly what she wanted to do alive >> reveal the truth !
I'm watching this as we speak and I feel these women are pain I am a survivor of sexual assault and it just saddens me but also makes me proud that these women are able to have a voice I love seeing these women being strong, stronger then I ever was Thank you Netflix and the people who made this documentary for giving assault victims a voice and strength to tkbow that they are not alone and that they can be strong
It's truly incredible how brave these women are to come forth with their story publicly and I can't wait to see how this unfolds avenge I really hope they find some peace and justice by the end
Thank you for being a supporter for survivors of sexual assault but also letting the nonbelivers hear their story for themselves without prejudicial thoughts
This story is really dark. I feel sorry for Jane doe for what she has been through. All she did she went to the confession booth to tell the priest what her uncle did to her.. And the priest ended up doing the nasty on her, She had to tell someone and it was Cathy.. I hope this priest burns in hell for this..!!!
I got frustrated and outraged after watching this documentary. I feel sorry to Jean, Teresa, Charles Franz, Sister Cathy, Joyce and all of the other victims.
I'm so grateful and honored to know that there are women in this world like those of you who suffered greatly and persevered to overcome some aspect of this and do so much to right the wrongs served upon Sister Kathy. She's smiling her beautiful smile at you from the heavens - she is so very proud all you girls and so sorry she was not able to see you grow up with your interaction but wants you to know she was there in the background all the time - the whole way and she loves you really BIG.
While not all of it is based on hard fact, they were able to corroborate a lot of what was said. They were also able to prove a few of the things that the police lied about. It's not enough to prosecute someone on, but it's enough to acknowledge that there was wrongdoing.
it's the details that bothered me, much of it seemed a bit preposterous. However, I do think there was wrong doing. But the sad thing is that none of it will ever be proved as those that were the alleged abusers are dead and the others that were accused of being accomplices are in various states of dementia.
This was a fantastic docu series but under horrible circumstances. I hope the truth is revealed at some point so everyone can get some peace in this situation. Very well shot, totally keeps your interest!
As i watched this series I was just blown away by the grace and strength that all the victims have. Sister Cathy was such a great woman of God that over 30 years later people she loved seek justice for her. Eternal peace to you Sister Cathy..
You actually believe all that!? Seriously Jean Wehner has accused half the city of raping her including 5 priests,police officers and city officials, as well she claims she remembers murdering a nun at the school now! This is just hysteria.
Cleo Moore Bebop Lady yeah let's just forget about about the hundreds of other allegations made against him by other people You're delusional if you think she's made up all of that
If you've seen the Keepers and you're still interested in Sister Cathy's murder investigation I highly recommend you listen to the podcast Foul Play with Shane Waters and Gemma. They discuss more details related to the investigation and conduct interviews with some of the other survivors that did not appear in the docuseries. It's quite interesting.
This was an AMAZING story, beautifully done. I pray they find the killer(s) and justice for Cathy and all involved. The women and people working so hard for her and the other victim, to bring this all to light, are truly inspiring.
Funny how almost everyone alive is horrified of the premise of dying, trapped in a burning car. Yet the reality of that being their every minute experience in the afterlife doesn't concern them in the least.
Riad I think it’s the guy who committed suicide (Bill) and the other guy with the nickname who got paid to kill her because Cathy wanted justice. So that pervert killed her. I’m not sure about Edgar he is weird.
I just watched for the second time and will probably watch again!! This is an EXCELLENT series!!! Absolutely beautifully orchestrated. I was a child of the sixties so I have a feel for the time period. All the survivors are incredible women (and men) whom I've grown to admire. You ladies are warriors of and for the truth. The behavior of Maskell is nothing less than demonic, but worse is the blatant cover for his actions. Mind boggling. Gemma, you are a fantastic story teller. Can't wait to read your book. Jean... I wish I could just hug you. All of you... incredible. Forever in my heart!!!
A must-watch docu-series, brilliant filmmaking and gripping story-telling. RIP Sister Cathy Cesnik and my sympathies to all the survivors of that barbaric assault and conspiracy. Only advice is start watching early in the day as you will end up watching all the 7 episodes like I did.
I am a Muslim. I want to speak on behalf of people who have faith in religion does not matter Islam, Christian, Jews or any religion. The problem is not within the religion itself because all religion promotes peace and loving to each other. However, some people who are lost in their faith are the one making the religion looks bad. However nothing is perfect right, so that is why when you want to judge the religion, do not look on people who follow the religion. Learn the value of the religion itself from any credible source.
I recently finished it and I can't even explain how PERFECT it was!!!! So educating and incredibly heartbreaking. The stories of the victims broke me especially Jean. I'm so glad she chose to publicly come forward because her story is the truth and I pray she remembers everything. I strongly believe that one of the men that killed Sister Cathy was interviewed ... (if you've finished the series you probably will too)
I feel terrible for everyone involved in this documentary. Also let's not forget about the Malecki's family. So much injustice in this world. And Charles Franz, seeing his reactions as he listened to the diocese denying his abuse was heartbreaking.
Charles was mentally strong enough out of all the victims to retaliate Reason why he got out of the mess and gave maskell and and the corrupt system a kicking Sad as it is,life is survival of the fittest.
Wow! Just wow. disgusted by the Catholic Church. I've just finished watching this and literally called my sis and told her to not aupport this disgusting church anymore. I want to applaud these women and men coming forward and being strong. I also want to add, Edgard was known to steal cars, he maybe stole Cathys car that night and thats how he is connected to her murder and got the hands on her necklaces. Love the cinematography and director and interviewer very well done, great powerful message and bravery to come out. Justice for Cathy!
Cesar Barona funny that after a documentary you form a definitive opinion about an entire organization. Not a lot of thought processes going on it seems.
What an amazing documentary, somewhat hard to watch, because by know we have heard the hundreds of stories of sexual abuse and how they've been covered up by the Catholic Church and Archdiocese for decades. God Bless the men and women that made this documentary possible, knowledge is power, thank you for sharing your horrific stories, prayers for all you amazing courageous survivors!
Guys, I live a few minutes away from all of this. The shopping center is where my mom goes to her groceries. I pass the nun's house every Sunday on my way to churches. My great aunt went to school with sister Cathy and knew her. It's really creepy learning all of this happened just a few minutes away
This makes me cry very much when marilyn cesnik talk about her big sister how she is a wonderful loving sister😢...i have a big sister who is vey close to me she is like my best bestfriend and just remembering sister cathy murder makes me sad because i think i cant live anymore if my big sis will be gone😢
Duh...that wasn't hard. Watched the entire series. It was a truly gripping tale. My heart goes out to these courageous women who came forward to tell their families and the world their story.
Priest died in a hospice pretending he'd lost his mind & the power of speech when one of his victims went to talk to him. The victim believed him but I didn't. It was very convenient to play 'lights out nobody home'
I don't know why I feel like he was put in that hospital...if you know what I mean, by a higher power.. But your theory sounds about right too, easy to play dumb...
It's interesting to see- when you take one good person out, it destroys the life of so many, and one you keep one bad person in, it destroys the lives of so many. If you didn't believe in the power of just one person, you should watch this series for sure. The power that each of us have to affect the lives of so many shudn't be underestimated. Absolute respect to every investigative-journalist out there who bring these stories to the fore. Hope justice prevails and soon.
The Keepers is the most eye-popping, jaw-dropping, edge-of-my-seat documentary I have ever seen. Nothing can shock me now, because after watching this, I can honestly say I have seen it all. It made me ashamed to be Catholic, to say the least.
This documentary made me sad, i cried multiple times, but im so glad that they are brave and determined to speak about it and seek justice. That « father » is now dead but what a reputation he left behind him! And i really believe that there is something after death, i hope he s suffering. In the other hand, as a muslim woman, i discovered a lot about christians, they carry so much love in them ❤
Uncontrolled power, always leads to corruption and abuse of that power. Priests, Imams, Rabbis, Scientology, Hinduism, Mormons, any religious Cult, as soon someone tells you what kind of close to wear, music to listen to, who you can or can't love, just how you should live your life, get away from them, they can't be trusted. "Worship Nothing - Question Everything"
Brilliant documentary! Heartbreaking, but the effort taken by everyone who sought to know the truth is absolutely inspiring. Reminded me of a similar case that happened in India, the Sister Abhaya Case. RIP to those who were wronged. ❤
“But they also have pain they are carrying. And there needs to be a world, there needs to be a place that we live in, where people want to see something done about that.” Marilyn Cesnik Radakovic 💔😭
My mom showed this to me when I was little this is what got me into mysteries and murder cases I love this show with all my heart it made me cry jump and curious thank you
Yet so many people will still defend the ones who abused these women , how sad is that . The Victims have to endure a lifetime of pain and ridicule because of all the cover up the Catholic Church did to this very day.
Netflix please put this out on DVD. I want to share this story with people who don't do streaming services. Maximum exposure, please. Justice for Sister Cathy.
There are so many stories like this, both with public exposure and without... it's simply amazing that so many millions of people continue to fund The Catholic Church, which has shown countless times as an institution that it does not care about its parishioners.
I had a very creepy experience watching this series that made me question what happens when a wicked soul dies. Feel free to think I'm crazy, hell, I barely believe my own mind. When a picture of one of the priests was shown, the name Magnus popped into my head, and how his first name had started with E, but he didn't go by that. Sure enough, it was said that the priest's name was E. Neil Magnus. He died in 1988 and I was born 2 years later. That picture was like looking into a mirror for me, like I had seen that face every day of my life. I was really creeped out considering the man was a sadistic rapist and I thought of stopping right then and there. But as I continued watching the episodes, there was this great sense of sorrow and shame that came over me that was much more intense than just what someone watching a documentary should feel. I thought about going to a hypnosis session to see if I could find out more, but something inside me keeps asking, 'Do you really want to know what you did?' And what would I do? Even assuming the women who were abused believed me, it's not like you can give an apology for something that heinous part of you did in a past life. Words are trite and meaningless when a crime of that magnitude has been committed.
@R B I'm a woman. Which just may prove that the old adage of only truly understanding another person by walking a mile in their shoes true. Doesn't get much more understanding than coming back as the opposite sex from your previous if you at all believe in reincarnation.
One of the killers and a person he told are both in this documentary. There's an embedded confession and two microexpressions from the other person, and both take place in the final episode. I have a strong suspicion that the people who killed the other woman are also mentioned in this series.
Beautifully put together documentary. The part where Jane Doe recounted her story and just broke down, holy fuck that is RAW REAL emotion. Jane doe is telling the truth.
I Watched the whole story on Netflix on Friday ...I sat there riveted to the tv..I heard about abuse etc in the catholic church and so forth..as I was watching. I could feel the pain in these ladies eyes and soles...I left the catholic church years ago when I lost faith after Oprah had a story on hundreds of alter boys in her audience that were being abused by the priests while serving god..They also were scared to say anything at the time when they were young..I cried as they told their stories and felt the pain and shame they went through..Tthey are probably about the age of 70 now like the ladies in the story...THank you for this bittersweet movie documentary.
Excellent documentary!!! ..Evil May be sleeping quite these days..but sooner than later all those atrocities that happened and the ones that still exist will see the light of the day ..You just can’t hide forever behind all those mighty walls..
Atomism is religion, so are a lot of so called "sciences" like Lie Rology! Photons don't exist. Light doesn't travel or have speed. Wryusses don't exist outside computers. and so on.....we have all been lied to...since infancy...
Don't let the few cause u turn away from religion. Just remember this is small percentage compare too the good aspect of the church. Don't get me wrong the negatives should also be addressed but don't let it influence you greatly. It doesn't matter what organisations or institutions, they are corruption in all places that suppose to be helping people. For example., schools, hospitals, camps etc.. Just remember we all are humans beings. They will always be wolf wearing sheep clothing. U just be careful in life, do the right thing and stand up for helpless
Rip sister Kathy. She was an angel on earth. It’s sad that even after this story came out and was brought to light that, still nothing was done or could be done at this point in time. God knows the truth though. Those priests were pure evil.
Great documentarty but soul destroying for so many. Bravo survivors and warriors for keeping up the fight. A fight that will continue for years in a lot of such cases I suspect. Blessings to all who have suffered loss
The saddest part of the whole thing was some of the parents didn't believe their own children smh & your parents teach u never let anyone touch u if that happens come to me, but this was in the 60s,70s different times
