In the closet of The Vatican : power, homosexuality, hypocrisy /​ Frédéric Martel ; translated by Shaun Whiteside

by Frédéric Martel, Shaun Whiteside

Based on extensive research, this investigative study examines corruption and secrecy within the Vatican. It explores the double lives of Catholic clergy, analysing how institutional homophobia and secrecy influence policies on celibacy, abuse, and internal politics.
