"Render Unto Rome: The Secret Life
of Money in the Catholic Church," by Jason Berry.
For more than 25 years,
investigative reporter Berry has been at the forefront of
exposing sexual abuses by Catholic clergy. In "Render
Unto Rome," Berry turns his attention to a different kind of
corruption in this investigation of the financial secrets
(and alleged deceptions) of the Roman Catholic Church. What
happens after checks or cash are dropped into the collection
basket? Where does the money go when a diocese sells
property for tens of millions of dollars? In light of
the more than $2 billion (actually 3 billion) paid out in
recent years to the victims of clergy sexual abuse in the
United States alone, Berry "follows the money," from U.S.
parishes to the Vatican, exposing what he believes are
practices that fly in the face of Catholic moral teaching
and values. |

LOVE’S URGENT LONGINGS.
by Bishop Geoffrey Robinson
This is a spiritual autobiography. It is touching,
personal and above all, honest. It’s a must for those
who have found their participation in the sex abuse
nightmare a spiritual collision with older values.

THE CASE OF THE POPE.
by Bishop Geoffrey Robinson
I won’t go into a long
review of this outstanding book....just a warning. It is
about the Holy See’s toxic antics in the arena of
international politics through its affiliation with the
U.N. Why the warning? If you are involved in the cause
of justice for victims...or anyone....and if you are
frustrated with the duplicity of the institutional
Church, this book will make your blood boil by the end
of the second chapter. |

David
Yallop. BEYOND BELIEF.
There are a number of books
out that describe in a factual manner the clergy sex
abuse "scandal" that has been galloping along for over
25 years. Although this is another, its by David Yallop,
an investigative writer of the first order. It is
outstanding and has information that I was not aware of,
especially from the UK and continental Europe. Its not
that long a book...218 pages. Its an outstanding
single-source summary of the issue and has a very
helpful bibliography.
