A good read -
Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption Into the Catholic Church
How did the American Catholic priesthood go from an image of wise, strong men like Spencer Tracy in
Boys Town and Bing Crosby in
Going My Way to an image of “pedophile priests”?
In
Goodbye, Good Men, investigative reporter Michael S. Rose provides the shocking answer that the mainstream news media have missed.
He uncovers how radical liberalism, like that found on many college campuses, has infiltrated the Catholic Church and tried to overthrow her traditional beliefs, standards, and disciplines - especially Church teachings on sexuality. In bringing the “sexual revolution” into the Church, liberals have welcomed - and even preferred - radicalized active homosexuals to orthodox seminarians in the name of “diversity” and “tolerance.” That “tolerance” has now been exposed as a toleration of criminal acts.
Here, in stunning detail, is the story behind the headlines - the story that made those very headlines possible. As Dr. Alice von Hildebrand says,
Goodbye, Good Men “holds the key to a phenomenon which, to many, is also an enigma: Why are so many seminaries empty? Michael S. Rose has the courage - a courage that many Church leaders lack - to give us the fearful but uncontestable answer: because vice has penetrated into many of them, and those who do not condone vice are excluded.”
A riveting work of extraordinary reporting,
Goodbye, Good Men shows how the very institutions charged with inculcating Catholic theology and discipline have come to prefer gay priests to straight ones, pop psychology to religious devotions, and
Playboy to the pope.
Goodbye! Good Catholics
