The Silence of Sodom

The past decade has seen homosexual scandals in the Catholic Church becoming ever more visible, and the Vatican's directives on homosexuality becoming ever more forceful, begging the question Mark Jordan tries to answer here: how can the Catholic Church be at once so homophobic and so homoerotic? His analysis is a keen and readable study of the tangled relationship between male homosexuality and modern Catholicism.--Publisher description.

First sentence: IMAGINE THIS. Overnight, God changes the hearts of a majority of officials in the Vatican.
