Description
In the Closet of the Vatican exposes the rot at the heart of the Catholic Church today. Based on four years' authoritative research and extensive interviews with those in power, this book reveals secrets about clerical corruption, including the celibacy of priests, the condemnation of contraceptives, and the cover-up of sexual abuse cases. The book sheds light on a system founded on secrecy, which starts in junior seminaries and continues right up to the Vatican. It explores how extreme homophobia can lead to schizophrenia within the Church, with some high-ranking officials hiding their true nature behind rigid homophobia. This phenomenon is revealed by Pope Francis himself, who notes that "behind rigidity there is always something hidden, in many cases a double life." This book provides a truth that is extraordinary and disturbing, offering a unique insight into the Catholic Church's inner workings. It is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of the Church today.
