Americans are hearing about a complaint just lodged against the Vatican and it's likely the first they've heard about the extent to which the Catholic Church's hierarchy is implicated in an ongoing scandal that's been fairly localized.
This lawsuit in the International Criminal Court has arisen in large part from events that took place in Ireland over the course of decades. How far did the Church go to protect its bureaucracy and its employees, the priests and bishops who covered up the abuse?
Read The Leaven of the Pharisees and you'll gain a very thoroughly researched account, presented as a novel but based on the words of those who were the innocent victims of absolute power at its most corrupt.
The book is available in both hard copy and e-book formats.
