In 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.

Could have been good but veers into homophobia
2019年2月22日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book could have been a very useful adjunct to understanding what is happening in the church regarding sexual abuse but instead it is a long, and not very well sourced, polemic. It is well known that there are many homosexuals in the church but rather than seriously analysing why this is the case, and the implications this has, the author makes a number of frankly ludicrous assertions. I also found it disturbing how the author refrained from naming individuals but instead made references to "the cardinal on the balcony" and "former secretaries of state". This is more character assignation than investigative journalism and destroys the authors credibility. If you are going to make accusations, then make them and back them up with facts. Don't simply make insinuations. A very disappointing book. I wish I could get my money back.

An original contribution to the growing interest in the Vatican's sexual identity
2019年3月11日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
When you spend more than four years talking to hundreds of people, on and off the record, it would be odd if you didn't break new ground and this book certainly does that...largely through unattributed chats which are not always easy to verify. The strengths of the book revolve around descriptions of a culture and system of secrecy and dysfunction and not on individual revelations as such. It would have been a better book at 380 pages and not 550, and also if it had had an index for reference purposes. The author spoils his gallant empirical work by too many asides and innuendos. Do we really need to have Pope Benedict XVI referred to as "Queenie"? At times, it resembles chat and gossip in a hairdresser's salon rather than genuine research. But Martel has made an important contribution here: one that has huge significance for understanding the secrecy around sex abuse, misogyny and the Catholic Church's relationship to openly confident LGBT individuals for whom it still uses an outdated language of "disorder."
An important, but flawed book. And distinctly odd that in 555 pages he couldn't find space for Sister Jeannine Gramick, a nun who has devoted more than 40 years to supporting LGBT Catholics and pointing out the inadequacy of Rome"s teaching.

Not value.

I bought this book to learn the facts and figures about the management of the Roman Catholic Church, which has concerned me from an ethical perspective for some years. The book is hopelessly inadequate in answering my search for information. As a retired criminal investigator of 35 years I can see that the author has pre-ordained the guilt of everyone within the Roman Catholic Church and has embarked on years of research to present the 'evidence' that fits his predetermination. Even people who have tried to address problems are pronounced guilty on the disturbingly irrational theory that those who take the hardest line are betraying themselves as being part of the problem itself. As a piece of investigative writing it is, overall, hopeless. And I am not Catholic or gay. I wanted to find out some 'balanced' evidence, but the book has failed utterly to deliver. The author has fallen headfirst into the trap of deciding who is guilty at the beginning of his enquiry, and ignored any facts or figures which might suggest something different. As a search for the truth it might just be accurate, but the method of presentation and style of writing makes this lengthy book seriously discredited. What a pity. My advice is not to bother with it.

Important reading for those who still aid and abet the Roman Church Hierarchy
2019年3月22日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This excellent book is an in-depth chronicle of the 'World's First Multinational' entity that has provided rich livings for its 'senior executives'. As to a need to verify the findings, surely the raft of lawsuits and massive fines provides that?
The over-arching idea is of a top-tier of mostly homosexual homophobic hypocrites, mostly out for themselves. The institution was of course the successor to the Roman Empire from the fourth century, with bishops replacing generals and a broad territorial overlap, from Bordeaux to the Crimea. The good men out to save souls rarely advanced in the system, which is perhaps why there is little mention of the Irish missionary priests trained in four seminaries, three of which have recently been closed for lack of applicants.
The 'Great Schism' in the heirarchy described has been between the 'traditionalists' and the 'moderates'. It has in modern times involved intransigent laypeople (eg Trump's Steve Bannon) and so-called aristocrats (eg 'Princess' Gloria von Thurn und Taxis', aka TNT). The south German remnants of the Holy Roman Empire supported Cardinal Ratzinger, later Pope Benedict XVI, whose long-term management role had been as 'CEO' of The Congregation for the Doctrine etc, aka The Inquisition. In the end he fell into confusion and non-performance and was quietly obliged to resign, which is a better end than to be given Black Nightshade, the traditional method for removing 'infallible' Holy Fathers.
The author, a French gay activist, clearly considers that the successor pope, the Argentinian Francis of Italian family, is a better man busily engaged in getting a grip on an institution that has lost its way. It is recorded that Francis has an effective way to remove traditionalist 'blockers' by appointing a deputy to whom all work is directed, such that it becomes clear that the senior man is ineffective.
The front-runner in terms of homophobia, and spokesman for 'traditionalists' is given as Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, with traditional Irish names but living in the USA: 'Oscar Wilde would have loved him' (so to speak!). Burke has a great love of large hats and lots of lace, and it must have been an awful shock to him in 2015 when the democratic vote in Ireland chose the legalisation of gay marriage, and subsequently a gay prime minister.
Martel offers a small hope for the now far from 'catholic' Church, in the increasing influence of the 'moderates' who have been organising for years as the 'St Gallen' group, and managed to get Francis in place. Francis apparently 'let them (traditionalsts) have it', 'when he choose (sic) to move on questions of family and sexual morality', issuing a catalogue of fifteen 'diseases' of the Curia, eg 'spiritual Alzheimer's' and 'existential schizophrenia'. Among the progressives is the long established 'British' Cardinal, Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, with such a wonderfully Irish name...

rather turgid
2019年3月16日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book has a cover price of £25, but Amazon did it for £14 and delivered as usual fast by Royal Mail. What would I in the collection plate? Probably no more than £9.99. On p139 'the cardinal pauses and offers me a chocolate … and adds You can't know someone Only God truly knows us'. Another cardinal asks the author could he believe he was 94? And this is the major trouble with the book, which lacks an index, it is certainly gossipy but also very boring - it just goes on and on and tries to cover too big a ground, and becomes repetitive. Inevitably it also gets caught up with paedophiles and sex abuse which have ruined the Church in Ireland for example. The chocolate is a case in point - the author for some of the time lives in the Vatican and gains the confidence of a large number of cardinals and clerics (do they now regret that) in a quite remarkable way. The cast list is one of thousands and the reader loses track. One of the more disappointing is the interview with Cardinal Pell of Australia, which given Pell's conviction is already out of date. By the time the reader gets to whether Paul VI was gay or not (certainly a humbug when it comes to sex issues - masturbation, abortion, contraception, being gay, all then near mortal sins it seems) the will to live - or read on - is getting lost. One chapter, on the Swiss Guards, was a let- down - not much fun being a Swiss guard it seems, but the one on male escorts and the priestly clientele in Rome was a good piece of research if not a hoot - the clerical customers being easily detected it seems as when they undressed their more expensive crucifixes round their necks gave the game away. On the whole the book needed a ruthless sub-editor, cutting by a third and totally reorganising - the book starts with Pope Francis (deeply unpopular in the Vatican for his allegedly arrogant style - aren't a lot of popes like that - goes with the territory?) and then rather confusingly works backwards. Overall not worth the purchase unless you can get for under a tenner.
