Irishchatter I honestly think this documentary back in 2004 should be recognised because it tells a story of a fireman who was sexually abused by a priest from childhood and we even get an opportunity to see his family's side of his story. Honestly I got so upset when Tony told his eldest daughter about what happened to him and said that his abuser was five blocks down to him. I really had to look away from the screen because I was holding back tears myself and like he was so brave to this story to his daughter as well as alerting that there is unfortunately a sex offender in their area. At least he was planning to move when he was taking into custody and in court, but again, he might be in a another neighbourhood where he could abuse other children one last time. Its honestly scary that we are living in a world full of monsters, I know we have to think of the good but dammit, they are all around us.With his parents still believing in the catholic church, I was annoyed but understand that they still believe in God and like their son was abused by a priest. Like why cant they look on reality to this based on what happened to their son?Brilliant documentary 8/10!

Jovan Nikolic While most of the comments I've read and even when talking with friend, I noticed that all of them was concerned with completely opposite of what I think is important. With sexual abuse. And while "Twist of Faith" undeniably deals with post traumatic state after sexual abuse, it is much more.The story follows Tony Comes, a firefighter from Toledo (Ohio), in his struggles and attempts to recuperate from years of sexual abuse by local Catholic priest, Dennis Gray. There are a lot of shocking moments but I think that most shocking occurred at the very beginning of documentary. Priest Dennis Gray was interrogated by state attorney at the court, and I think that it would be best to just quote both questions and answers:St. attorney: And what did you do after graduating from high school?D. Gray: I went into seminary – St. Gregory, Cincinnati.St. attorney: Why did you decide to go into the seminary?D. Gray: I decided that it would be a good life if I was a priest.One could contemplate for years about religion and it seems that our capacities for being able to trust and actually dedicate our lives to Faith are endless. Yet, what scared me greatly. It's not that I was living in Disneyland before this documentary film, but the level of banality that answer contained was above my "expectations". Instead of almost life-long thinking, dedicating yourself to learning and reconsideration of such a decision, Dennis Gray just "wanted good life". And while most of audience perceived D. Gray as "evil" I just consider him as a plain, simple organism only trying to satisfy his basic animal instincts, like most of people.

cholli403 This was a great documentary. A story of child abuse. The aftermath of sexual abuse usually exposes itself once the victim is in a safe relationship with their spouse, as an adult. The next thing you know, everything falls apart. Thank goodness they had each other and God.I felt close to the families journey of self discovery. The marital confusion on Tony's quick descent to rock bottom. The strain on their marriage. The impact on their family and community. All of these gripping emotions were clearly portrayed in the film.I am proud of this family for spreading their message. It was a truly profound step in their recovery.Prayer Honors God. God Honors Prayer.

Dfredsparks I found this documentary to be well done, saddening, but also in the end inspirational. It seemed at least that this family committed to working things out even though things were difficult. I also found it to be a stinging indictment of the conduct of church officials, conduct unfortunately not limited to this particular circumstance. In my opinion, the Church as a body has not done nearly enough to express its sorrow and regret at the wholesale lack of action taken against known child abusers. I think that the RICO statutes should be used to prosecute many church leaders who took part in these cover-ups. The Church in Rome basically acts like none of this happened and still wants to hold itself out as some sort of moral authority. I don't buy it.
