Ebook About The New York Times Bestseller'[An] earth-shaking exposé of clerical corruption' - National Catholic ReporterIn the Closet of the Vatican exposes the rot at the heart of the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church today. 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.Book In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy; THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Review :
734 Review in a diary format (If I'm allowed)2/23/19 1:10 a.m.I have read up to page 100 in one day. The only reason I have paused is that I have to process all the condensedinformation.*Already I wish Frederic Martel's book had an index and a bibliography.* :(PERSONAL NOTE:At age 61, I am just old enough to remember the Latin Mass before Vatican II changed the Mass into the vernacular.All of my parents' generation on both sides of the family are gone now.But I have older relatives in my generation who were more imbued with the Latin Mass than I was, some who also attended Catholic school up through grade 8 or so.Those relatives will not read this book, sad to say.But then, whether one calls it "motivated reasoning" or "motivated ignorance," most people will seek out information which only confirms their pre-existing bias or attitude.Even if it is just a smidgeon of confirmatory information.Those who do not want their eyes opened will have them kept shut.ON THE READING THUS FAR:"In the Closet of the Vatican" is packed with information. It gets overwhelming, but that is not a complaint.The author states that the College of Cardinals and other Vatican clergy are mostly gay.And that those Cardinals and other Monsignori who are most publicly anti-gay are either closeted to themselves, or at least to the public.Appointees to the College of Cardinals are classified as appointed by John Paul II (who is personally characterized as a "control freak"), Benedict XVI (personally characterized as indulgent of abusive clergy), and Francis I (characterized as a reformer with his work cut out for him by enemies in the Roman Curia).Pope Francis I is described as stubborn and hard-headed, for all his public persona as a pastoral churchman inspired by St. Francis of Assisi.Pope Francis is working "little by little" to change the construction of the cardinalate to decrease the influence of those cardinals appointed by John Paul II and Benedict XVI.The politics of sexual abuse by clergy has been kept a secret by the church because pedophilia---adults sexually attracted to minors---is confounded with homosexuality.That is, bishops and archbishops who covered up sexual abuse by clergy did so out of fear that their own homosexuality, whether as a practicing lifestyle or as chastely celibate, would be exposed.IN THE CONTEXT OF CURRENT EVENTS:The meeting on the clergy sexual abuse scandal is going on in the Vatican as I write this.The way the author Martel writes about the behind-the-scenes politics that preceded the church's synod on the family, one can only guess what has gone on behind the scenes and is going on now.***2/23/19 11:55 p.m."The Most Talked-About Non-topic at the Vatican: Homosexuality" appeared in the New York Times today.Talk about in the context of current events!***2/25/19 5:45 p.m.Yesterday's Sunday New York Times had the headline, "Pope Francis Ends Landmark Meeting by Calling for 'All-Out Battle' to Fight Sexual Abuse."How will Francis do so without blowing the cover of the homosexuality that seems to pervade the Vatican?The Pope will have his work cut out for him.And in less than 45 minutes ago, The Guardian reports, "Cardinal George Pell: Vatican treasurer found guilty of child sexual assault," as per msn.com news.An Australian, Pell was the third highest ranking official in the Vatican.My reading has been from pages 101 to 190 in "In the Closet of the Vatican: Power, Homosexuality, Hypocrisy," by Frederic Martel.Am feeling grim in regards to the reading. Found myself shaking my head as if to say, "Too bad," and, "This is pitiful.""Where is Jesus Christ in all of this?"The personal enmities among the cardinals, as described within Synod on the Family of 2015, leads me to wonder if the Vatican leadership has lost sight of their reason for being. It's discouraging.Chapter 6, "Roma Termini," about the Rome train terminal and the nationality of various male prostitutes that frequent the area was an eye opener.I was gasping throughout this chapter.It was as if I was reading an urban anthropology field study of the Vatican clergy's ways of soliciting these prostitutes.The high-class Neapolitan prostitute Francesco Mangiacapra is mentioned by name. He has an extensive clergy clientele in both Naples and Rome.The subtleties of Vatican gay life exemplify the multicultural counseling tenet of "differences within groups."PROFESSIONAL NOTE:My Ph.D. is in Counseling Psychology from Stanford University (1990) and I have been a Licensed Psychologist in Texas since 1992 (Inactive Status 2018-2020 as I attend to medical matters).I am a retired university professor and have taught on the Master's and Doctoral level in programs in Counseling, Psychology, Marriage and Family Therapy, Counseling Psychology, and Educational Leadership and Administration.I am published in my field.In addition, I have chaired doctoral dissertations and sat on dissertation and master's thesis committees. I am familiar with both quantitative and qualitative methodologies.Chapter 6 is a respectable qualitative report.Martel's book, while informative, could have used an eagle-eyed editor to cut out redundancies.Footnotes and references are online at the Bloomsbury Continuum publishers, something I would not have allowed on the dissertation and thesis committees on which I've sat.***Part II of "In the Closet of the Vatican" focuses on the papacy of Pope Paul VI, 1963-78.Paul administration largely consisted of homosexual cardinals and churchmen, and gay-friendly clergy.The prevalent ethos of Paul VI's reign was one of chaste homosexuality (Chapter 7) that tolerated loving friendships (Chapter 8), also known as "particular friendships."Prevalent, but not all pervasive ethos.There were practicing homosexuals in the Roman Curia and lesser ranked churchmen during the reign of Paul VI.Martel leaves it to the reader, based on his discussion of Paul VI and his intimates, to decide if he was gay.My impression is that Paul VI was a chaste homosexual or homosexual friendly.***3/1/19 10:45 p.m.I am re-reading pages 193-303 before offering my observations here.***3/11/19 3:00 p.m.Re-reading is going slow because I find the content grim.Pope John Paul II's entourage consisted of several cardinal both gay and corrupt.Anti-communism was John Paul's priority.Other considerations, such as the hypocrisy of the Roman Curia, who conducted a a campaign against homosexuals while many cardinals were gay themselves, fell by the wayside.In May 1981, three years into John Paul II's reign, he was shot in St. Peter's Square by a would-be assassin.Before the assassination attempt, John Paul has been a strong, hearty outdoorsman.While he recovered somewhat from his gunshot wound to the lower abdomen, John Paul II later developed Parkinson's disease, which the Vatican was slow to acknowledge.As Karol Wotyla, John Paul II had grown up in War World II-torn Poland, which then became an Iron Curtain Communist country as a satellite of the Soviet Union.Consequently, as Pope he had an authoritarian governing style with a loyal Polish Cardinal private secretary nicknamed in the Vatican "The Pope Has Said."John Paul II was thus shielded from many sexual scandals in the Church by his private secretary.Pope and private secretary tended to view rumors of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy as Communist propaganda.Angelo Cardinal Sodano (as cardinals are styled by name) was John Paul II's second secretary of state. Sodano is described as an ardent anti-Communist and "yes" man, and was thus supported by the Pope's private secretary.Before Sodano become secretary of state, he was papal nuncio 1978-88 to Chile, where he acquiesced with Chilean dictator Agosto Pinochet's ridding by death of progressive priests, the torture of political opponents of Pinochet, and covered up the pedophilial and homosexual abuse carried out by top Chilean churchmen.The existence of a "gay court" in Pinochet's entourage is described in detail.In Chile, the Catholic priest Fernando Karadima is named as the most prominent pedophile in with Pinochet's government (Chapter 9).In Mexico, the Catholic priest Marcel Maciel is named as the most prominent homosexually abusive clergy (Chapter 10).Cardinal Sodano was a supporter of both Farakima and Maciel, motivated by realpolitik to keep up the Church's parish enrollments in both Chile and Mexico.Instead of exhaling as if to say "Whew," I exhaled as if to say "Whoo."I am asking my head back and forth as if to say "No" as I finish this diary entry.
