Betrayal: the crisis in the Catholic Church Publishing Date: c2002 Classification: 200 Call Number: 261.8 The Boston Globe first broke the news of widespread sexual abuse in the Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. This is the full story by the reporters who unearthed it. The misdeeds of John Geoghan first attracted the paper's attention, but it soon became evident that Geoghan was only one of many more pedophile priests (over 90) that had been tolerated, and to some degree protected, by former Cardinal Bernard F. Law in his role as archbishop of Boston. This book explains both the problem of abuse within the Catholic Church and the crisis that has erupted in the wake of recent revelations. The first five chapters describe the sordid tale of what happened in Boston, complete with 45 pages of facsimile documents showing how utterly tone-deaf the church was to the problem. The last four chapters deal with the aftermath: the end of prosecutorial deference to the church, the lost of trust in the hierarchy, and calls for church reform. For readers who want the story straight from the source, this is the book to read. Copyright 2003 American Library Association |
