Catholic Priests and the Sexual Abuse of Children
Jason Berry| Pub Date: | 2000 |

This updated edition of an unusually important and ground-breaking work of investigative journalism on Catholic priests and child sexual abuse is once again made available and belongs in every bookstore.
Jason Berry's Lead Us Not into Temptation put a national spotlight on the issue of clergy sex abuse of children and has been used in newsrooms across the country. Berry takes us through the lives of traumatized victims and their parents, torn by loyalty to the church, into the machinations of bishops and church lawyers. At root, this is a story about politics, how sexual conflicts within clerical culture have compromised the power structure of the church. This new paperback edition of Berry's investigation includes an updated introduction that takes the scandal into the Vatican.
