Comment: FRom inside dj flap:
This is a novel whose blunt honesty is certain to spark controversy. From the humblest parish to the inner councils of the Vatican, Father Greeley reveals the heirarchy of the Catholic Church as it really is and its priests as the men they really are.
The Cardinal Sins follows the lives of two Irish boys who grow up on the West Side of Chicago and enter the priesthood. One will remain a parish priest all of his life; the other will become a powerful cardinal. We meet them in the last summer before they enter the seminary- the summer by the laek when they discover their sexual selves in the arms of two young girls whose love and lives will entwine with theirs all through the years.
We share their triumphs and tragedies as Pat rises to teh center of power in the Vatican itself, surrendering ideals, yielding to sexual temptation, sharing forbidden pleasures , yet achieving success in the world's eyes. For Kevin , for whom refusal to surrender principle is both his strength and his failing, success comes in another guise.
This book is a work of fiction. It is nonetheless true, And only one man could have written it. Father Andrew Greelys has been described as one of the ten most influential Christian thinkers in the worl, In this novel, he surpasses himself as a diviner of human passions and a superb storyteller as well.
