God Betrayed: a Critique of the Catholic Church As an Institution Tom O'malley

In this relatively slim volume Tom O'Malley takes on the formidable task of challenging one of the most powerful institutions known to mankind, namely the Catholic Church. Despite the serious nature of the work, he writes in a style that is direct, lucid and eminently readable. His criticisms of the nature and practice of the Church are, above all, reasonable and accessible to all, even those with little or no knowledge of theology. We have here much more than just a critique of the Catholic Church. We also have an exploration of the nature and influence of love, which makes it universal in its appeal, transcending all religious beliefs, reaching out to those who believe that love and not fear should be the basis of our relationship with God. This book deserves to be read by all those who believe that religion still has meaning for mankind.
