VATICAN CRIME SYNDICATE 2

Is it really over 3 months now since I started this blog? Hard to believe that.

Anyway, just wanted to add a book recommendation to this topic: Spanish investigative journalist Pepe Rodriguez's 470pp classic La Vida Sexual Del Clero (The Sexual Life Of The Clergy). Amazingly thorough and detailed in its scope, it packs in everything from paedophilia, prostitution, sadomasochism, illicit affairs, homosexuality amongst monks, priests and their charges, cover-ups, you name it - all meticulously researched.

Also of interest is another of Rodriguez's works, this time a fascinating primer on the techniques and strategies of investigative journalism.

Oddly enough, I have a copy of "Mentiras fundamentales de la Iglesia Catolica" sitting on my shelf at home. It looks like a truly wonderful volume... all 570 pages of it!! S... but it was a lovley present from an old Mexican flame.
What a pleasant surprise to find such a dilligently pleasing blog from Whitehouse's front man... And FYI... Bergen is THE place for kitchenware!
