In the Closet of the Vatican is a fascinating description and evaluation of financial, sexual and political misconduct throughout the Catholic Church at a time when new revelations are being uncovered each and every week. This audiobook explores the underlying causes and includes interviews with numerous Cardinals and other individuals, some of whom cannot be named. Martel reveals financial scandals in the Vatican bank; political collusion with unsavoury regimes, including Castro’s Cuba and Pinochet’s Chile; sexual abuse and hypocrisy over homosexuality.

in the closet of the church's very soul
Revisado: 12-04-22
What can I say? The few anecdotes that I know from reliable sources, the double-lived priests I know or have known, the vast culture of hypocrisy, and the reactionary leanings of so much of the church's leadership, coupled with the never-ending cover-ups of more and more sexual abuse cases involving prelates and priests lends much credence to Martel's journalism. American journalists do not muckrake like they did in the early 20th century, and even the Boston Globe's heroic Spotlight series stopped short of breaking open the walls to this cloistered bureaucracy, the house of secrets known as the Catholic Church. Frederic Martel and his team of able assistants were like a Trojan Horse invited into the very heart and soul of Catholicism, its nerve center behind the Vatican walls. Bravo. Now if only we can get every literate Catholic to read this book!

Originally distributed as a self-published booklet, A Season in Hell by Arthur Rimbaud quickly established him to be the "first punk" and a visonary mentor to the Beat poets for both his recklessness and fiery poetry according to famous poet of the Beat Generation, Allen Ginsberg.

a Heavenly rendition of "Hell"
Revisado: 12-01-22
Arthur Rimbaud's poems are excellently presented, translated from the French into English, and then so amazingly recited. Powerful. A confession, a love, a heart-rent, a man in turmoil within himself, a forbidden love, an outcast, misunderstood and unfairly judged, amid a time and culture unforgiving and cruel. What a masterpiece.

Historia5 out of 5 stars 35
Pope John Paul II, as part of his effort to improve Catholic-Jewish relations, himself called for a clear-eyed historical investigation into any possible link between the Church and the Holocaust. An important sign of his commitment was the decision to allow the distinguished historian David I. Kertzer, a specialist in Italian history, to be one of the first scholars given access to long-sealed Vatican archives. The result is a book filled with shocking revelations.

An objective assessment of one Christendom’s greatest moral failures
Revisado: 08-19-22
David Kertzer is a thorough, impassioned and objective researcher. He is also an excellent writer who is able to present these often disturbing and tragic historical narratives in a compelling manner. Christendom in general and the Catholic Church in particular has managed to reinvent itself in the post-WWII era without ever coming to terms or fully acknowledging its culpability in centuries worth of oppression of the Jewish people.
