The Roman Catholic Church is in the grip of a crisis, as evidence of the systematic sexual abuse of children, here, and in the US and UK - and beyond - grows steadily. Jason Berry and Gerald Renner - both highly respected American journalists (and both Catholic) - examine the Church's international culture of secrecy.
In particular, they look at the male-dominated power structure - from the Vatican down - that has fostered the problem in the first place, and led to the Church's basic inability to effectively deal with it.
With our own litany of horrendous cases, Australian stories and personalities will be covered in this compelling account of how a terrible problem has developed and continues to fester.
