Shroud of Secrecy: The Story of Corruption Within the Vatican

by The Millenari, Luigi Marinello, Ian Martin (Translator)

The Story of Corruption Within the Vatican Shroud of Secrecy offers an insider's account of intrigue, sex, and corruption within the Vatican. It is the first treatise of written protest from within the Church since 1517, when Martin Luther posted his historic 95 theses on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Written by a small group of Vatican prelates who call themselves the Millenari, its publication breaks a code of silence that has allowed impropriety and hypocrisy within the Roman Catholic Church to flourish.

Global Read Challenge 101: Vatican City

This is a ridiculous book. It is very poorly written probably due to being a group project. Secondly it is mostly meaningless gossip. (I.E there once was a prelate who had WINE at lunch! People who work in the church want to be promoted) The timing of the book is especially funny given the scandals that were about to come out a few years later.

Avoid it if you can. I read it for my reading the world challenge. It read like old gossip - everyone who was worthy was screwed and the unworthy succeeded because they were unmoral and ruthless.
