4.0
A very serious thought provoking book which took quite awhile to get through. Not a fast read since it makes you stop and think. This book explores the recent sex scandals and money scandals in the Catholic Church and shows how they are not new issues.

3.0
A fascinating read, chalk full of details that benefit from a familiarity with church hierarchy and structure. The subtitle is a tad misleading as this book's primary focus is the monetary impact of the clergy sex abuse scandal on the Catholic Church in America (with specific attention to the archdioceses of Boston, Cleveland and Los Angeles), but the narrative does extend beyond the U.S. I would recommend it to anyone who's interested in the issues facing the modern church and the need for greater transparency in the institutional structure.
