Liebreich, Karen. - Fallen Order: Intrigue, Heresy, and Scandal in the Rome of Galileo and Caravaggio.

Title: Fallen Order: Intrigue, Heresy, and Scandal in the Rome of Galileo and Caravaggio.
Description: London :Atlantic, 2005. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 368 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. Catholic hierarchies protecting paedophile priests is a scandal as old as time, and one that has plagued the Church since the 1600s. In 1643, after a failure by the Church hierarchy to deal with child abuse scandals amongst their members, a group of priests took control of the Order of the Clerics Regular of the Pious Schools. It would be anachronistic to call this group a paedophile ring, but it is nevertheless true that a man accused of abusing the boys in his care was promoted to universal superior of a Catholic teaching order, supported by a small group of like-minded priests, and with the full complicity of the Inquisition and the pope himself.
