Screenplay - The Good Christian William J Ryan

This Screenplay is adapted from the book, The Good Christian by William J. Ryan in order to expand to a broader audience. A child is raped by a priest for years and the church covers it up, protecting their good name. After counseling, the good church then moves the pedophile priest to another town, thereby aiding and abetting in intrastate crime of child rape. The child victim suppressed the memories and becomes a highly specialized military trained killer, an elite member of the snipers squad. When the military no longer wants his services, they dump him and his subliminal baggage. One day he awakens to the raping memories that destroyed his life and made him homeless - like so many American Veterans. It is then that he sees no other recourse but vigilante justice. He begins to hunt down his childhood rapist and enact his revenge. But he does not stop there, for the whole system that permitted this demonic pedophilia to exist within the Roman Catholic Church and its followers (laity) is completely corrupt. This system and its consigliore continue to be protected and covered up by a corrupt religious cartel, the American Justice System.
