Forget the "Da Vinci Code": this is the book that tells the bombshell truth about the Catholic Church.
... a new book that is a real firecracker - Double Cross: The Code of the Catholic Church by David Ranan. If the Vatican was afraid of the effects of the Da Vinci Code on its corrupt empire, wait until it sees this! Dr David Ranan is a political scientist whose main area of interest is the study of power structures. His academic objectivity adds even more weight to this jaw-dropping exposé of the Vatican's age-old web of deceit, corruption and murder.
Four hundred and twenty-six dynamite pages of truth-telling that will have Josef Ratzinger squirming on his golden throne.
This really is a book not to miss.
Library Journal, April 2007
...focus on the evil actions of the institution rather than the content of its dogma...--antics of corrupt medieval and renaissance popes, bloodshed caused by the Inquisition and the Crusades, the Galileo affair--as well as more contemporary failings such as the priestly sex abuse scandal and some suspicious financial transactions on the part of the Vatican. This sordid history is supposed to be relevant to the question of the "inherent evil" of the Church, but Ranan fails to give credit where credit is due, and it is not hard to see why: he would then have to explain why the beneficent actions of the Church do not equally count toward its inherent goodness.
