CGiii Comment
This is indeed an early offering as to the paedophilic nature of priests - definitely controversial for its time.
Unfortunately, it has been surpassed by bigger and better productions.
Worthy of a look.

A Roman Catholic teenage boy in Nova Scotia during the 1930s faces various growing-up problems: Should he become a priest?
