AI Summary = This documentary by Peter & Maria Rinaldo explores the Catholic Church’s historical and political entanglement in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide. It reveals how religious institutions—locally and internationally—provided moral cover for ethnic violence, with some clergy directly complicit. While Pope Francis later offered a formal apology, institutional accountability remains unresolved. The film invites reflection on the misuse of spiritual authority and the urgent need for truth, humility, and restoration.
The Rwandan genocide occurred in 1994, beginning on April 7 and lasting approximately 100 days, until July 192. During this time, an estimated 500,000 to 800,000 Tutsi civilians, along with moderate Hutu and Twa, were systematically murdered by Hutu extremists.
This YouTube documentary “linked above” examines the Catholic Church’s role in the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a 100-day campaign of mass violence that claimed over half a million lives.
