Description
Frank Bruni's A Gospel of Shame is a devastating indictment of the Catholic Church's institutional failure to protect children. Through meticulous reporting, Bruni exposes decades of concealment and cover-ups by church officials, detailing how the institution prioritized its reputation over the safety of its most vulnerable members. The book documents a systematic failure that has left countless victims scarred and the institution deeply compromised.\n\nThis is not just a report on scandal; it is a call for accountability. Bruni's writing is both rigorous and empathetic, giving voice to the survivors while demanding structural change within the church. Whether you are a Catholic, a critic, or anyone concerned about religious institutions and child safety, A Gospel of Shame is a necessary and confronting read that challenges the reader to confront uncomfortable truths about institutional betrayal.
