Summary

Sodoma expone la decadencia y la corrupción en el corazón del Vaticano y de la actual Iglesia Católica.

Más de un millón de ejemplares vendidos en todo el mundo.

Un brillante trabajo basado en cuatro años de investigación rigurosa, que incluye entrevistas a los más altos cargos eclesiásticos.

Sodoma revela los secretos de un sistema que se inicia en los seminarios y continúa hasta el Vaticano; basado en la doble vida de algunos sacerdotes y en la homofobia más radical. La esquizofrenia resultante en la Iglesia es insondable.

«Sodoma es la primera radiografía global de la vivencia deshonesta de la homosexualidad que estructura la vida eclesiástica en la Iglesia católica.» James Alison, escritor, sacerdote y teólogo católico

«Detrás de la rigidez siempre hay algo oculto; en muchos casos, una doble vida.» Al pronunciar estas palabras, el papa Francisco nos dio a conocer un secreto que esta investigación vertiginosa revela por primera vez en toda su enorme dimensión.

Sodoma es un libro con un claro mensaje al Vaticano de parte de todos los que anhelan una Iglesia inspirada en el Evangelio, una Iglesia para los pobres, los marginados y los desposeídos.

Nadie puede reivindicar que realmente entienda a la actual Iglesia católica hasta que hayan leído este libro, que revela una verdad que es tan extraordinaria como perturbadora.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The New York Times Bestseller

"[An] earth-shaking exposé of clerical corruption." - National Catholic Reporter


In the Closet of the Vatican
exposes the rot at the heart of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church today. Now in a revised translation and with updated material, this brilliant piece of investigative writing is based on four years' authoritative research, including extensive interviews with those in power.

The celibacy of priests, the condemnation of the use of contraceptives, the cover up of countless cases of sexual abuse, the resignation of Benedict XVI, misogyny among the clergy, the dramatic fall in Europe of the number of vocations to the priesthood, the plotting against Pope Francis--all these issues are clouded in mystery and secrecy.

In the Closet of the Vatican is a book that reveals these secrets and penetrates this enigma. It derives from a system founded on a clerical culture of secrecy which starts in junior seminaries and continues right up to the Vatican itself. It is based on the double lives of priests and on extreme homophobia. The resulting schizophrenia in the Church is hard to fathom. But the more a prelate is homophobic, the more likely it is that he is himself gay.

"Behind rigidity there is always something hidden, in many cases a double life." These are the words of Pope Francis himself and with them the Pope has unlocked the Closet.

No one can claim to really understand the Catholic Church today until they have read this book. It reveals a truth that is extraordinary and disturbing.
