A new documentary about pedophile priests is shaking mostly Catholic Poland, eliciting an apology by the church hierarchy and prompting one priest to leave the clergy.

"Tell No One" was released on YouTube on Saturday and by Monday had 7 million views.

After the premiere, the primate of Poland thanked the film's creators, brothers Tomasz and Marek Sekielski, for their "courage." Archbishop Wojciech Polak said: "I apologize for every wound inflicted by the people of the Church."
