Summary: Interesting
Comment: A bit blabby, but overall quite interesting. If you read history, which some of the previous reviewers evidently have not, the church has always been a haven for those interested in alternative lifestyles. This is a problem when it focuses on children, of course. After all, the Marquis de Sade claimed that he learned his various perversions from the Jesuit priests who tutored him as a child.

Summary: Cover Art
Comment: OK, so it isn't a review, but it has been puzzling me for some time. Why O why can't book publishers find something creative to put on covers about subjects connected with Catholic Christianity except a string of rosary beads? Even academic publishing houses fall into this trite practice.

I fail to see even a the slightest connection with the subject of this or Jordan's "Truth" book.

Consider that probably the other place one is most likely to see a rosary is in a photo of a pop music performer or gang member (who seem to think rosaries are some kind of necklace or jewelry).

Weird.

Summary: AMAZING!
Comment: This book is truly a scholastic masterpiece. The author tackles numerous contraversial topics tactfully. The writing style coupled with the author's wit and intellect made this book fantastic. I think that every American Catholic should read this! A necessary piece of literary genius that should be in every LBGT Catholic's library!
