Subject: Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II, by Jason Berry, Gerald Renner

The Roman Catholic Church's sexual doctrines - particularly the rule on priestly celibacy has driven away heterosexual men and fostered a pathologically libertine "gay priest culture" ... The result is an atmosphere of silence and hypocrisy that simultaneously condemns and tolerates both homosexuality and priestly sexual abuse, in which an authoritarian Church hierarchy, reaching up to the Vatican, protects pedophiles.

A must read book
