b'In 2015, former Catholic priest Paul-Andr\\xe9 Harvey pled guilty to 39 counts of sexual assault and gross indecency against young girls. Before he died in 2018, he did something that sent shockwaves through his former Quebec diocese: he wrote a confession in which he alleged his superiors both enabled and covered up his crimes. Mark Kelley of CBC\\u2019s The Fifth Estate tells us about the role this confession is now playing in a class-action lawsuit, brought by Harvey\\u2019s alleged victims, against the church.'
