Bishop Casey's Buried Secrets

Five years in the making, reporter Anne Sheridan's internationally headline-grabbing investigation reveals how senior Catholic figures tried to bury with the late Bishop Eamon Casey the fact that he was accused in his lifetime of child sex abuse by at least four separate people. The documentary features harrowing testimony from his niece, Patricia Donovan, who claims that he raped her from the age of 5. Now 62, she is still awaiting acknowledgment and redress from the Catholic Church, despite the documentary's discovery that the Vatican secretly removed Bishop Casey from public ministry for the last 12 years of his life.
