He probably believed he had done nothing wrong and the children “wanted” him. When you’re as fucked up as he was you can hold two completely contradictory narratives in your head. He was a completely brain melted narcissist.
Interesting portrayal of Savile asking for forgiveness for noncery and using his charitable acts as a means of atonement, I always assumed he did it to hide in plain sight.
@@invisibleman4827 Savile was an out and out monster. However in his warped narcissistic mind he likely genuinely believed wholeheartedly that his charity work DID somehow atone for his sins. I knew someone whom interacted with Savile frequently in London, sometimes when jogging in the park. According to him Savile openly said 'I can't help it I've got the Angel, and the Devil in me at the same time.' Or something to that effect. Given the man who told me was a doctor, well respected, had no reason to lie; I believe him.
Great performance by Coogan in this series. Can imagine how difficult (if that is the right word) it must have been to play an evil bast...d like Saville.
What the fuck are you on afraid to spell out "bastard". It is precisely your British crazy fucking phobia of offending someone that let this happen. And Lucy Letby. And a gazillion fucking other cases.
I agree. From what I've read about sex offenders in general, and Savile in particular, it would seem that they have no regrets for what they have done, and invariably blame their victims. Savile seemed to be totally unrepentant about his behaviour, and for whatever legacy he might leave behind him.
@@keithp6689 Exactly. Even just watching some of his last interviews and TV appearances shows that he just got creepier in his old age. Visibly, he looked like the devil himself and his behaviour just got more intense. The sicko definitely had no regrets.
@@keithp6689 Many sex offenders feel remorse, it's just that the ones that get publicity (serial cases) obviously do not, or they wouldn't keep repeating it.
@@PCamb1234 doubtful,being a priest just wasn’t his style, he was above everything else a showman and a extrovert, he would have been miserable as some dour clergyman in a sleepy Parrish….as a sociopathic pedophile being an entertainer gave him a wider range of victims.
Please, please BBC let us in Australia see this show. I always find it amusing that the forgiving of sins in the Catholic Church is so easy. A few Hail Marys and they’re gone. Its so convenient for criminals.
Because salvation is through grace. You cannot earn Heaven as no human can even approach perfection. That being said, I’ve been told a priest has the option of refusing forgiveness until they confess to law enforcement if the offense is serious enough.
I'm not Catholic, but the Church does not consider itself a court. Traditionally, Christians do not oppose worldly punishments, but that not why you go to confession. Confession is an act of coming clean before God. Not before worldly authorities. If you are on a criminal or sexual rampage, pastoral care will usually include to turn yourself in or seek some sort of help for your situation. But primarily, the kind of penance a priest will give you has some sort of goal to bring you back into a state of repentance before God. The penance itself isn't what redeems you, because God redeems by grace. You can't "earn" it. Clerical discipline in the Roman Church has suffered a lot, so penances from what I gather aren't what they used to be, but in Orthodox Churches, sexual immorality or continuous abusive behavior will have you excluded from communion for a certain period of time, or until you show signs of repentance. Note that nobody forces you to go to confession. Everybody who turns up does so because he wants to come clean.
@@thesunreport After Lydon was kicked out McLaren started his underage sexualising crap as noted on inside of Rock and Roll Swindle cover into at least the Bow Wow Wow years which was part of his locked away never published Chicken magazine or something, all excused as "art" of course but it just looked like a major child grooming operation by leftists, that PIE mob etc so maybe he's been avoided as it would make Harriet Harman look dodgy when it looks with hindsight like one big tory framing exercise and they don't care about kids at all.
Because if artists don’t humanise these “monsters” people will continue to assume only “monsters” not men are capable of these acts and people in power will continue to get away with it because the truth seems too theatrical to be true.
The 1000s of priest that raped little boys and that's reported it is most likely 10000s priest, got a pope that hides these pedos at the Vatican. All that
@@VahanNisanian "And Atheists are never capable of child molestation?" Yes. But unlike the Catholic Church, atheist organisations don't cover up the crime of their members raping innocent children, refuse to cooperate with law enforcement agencies and move them again and again to new locations where they can molest a fresh new bunch of kiddies. Amen.
The amount of Pedophiles in the education system and even other religious sects like Judaism or even other subgroups of Christianity is far higher than one’s within the Catholic Church.
wrong, saville wasnt truly sorry for anything he did, you cannot forgive a person who is not really sorry and doesnt understand why the sin was wrong and that he must do everything for it to never happen again, therefore he cannot be forgiven, just saying "im sorry" isnt remorse
@@CinnamonTroll246why do I have to believe in something, CinnamonTroll? How about I believe in the right here, right now? The cards you are dealt for 70-80 years if lucky, and that's it no fairytales. Why do I have to believe in something? I'm an atheist / nihilist who believes in science. God isn't real. It's just a coping mechanism for death.
