Crimes of the father
Keneally, Thomas, 1935-2017
Book
Exiled to Canada due to his radical preaching on human right, Father Frank Docherty is now a psychologist and monk. On a visit to Australia he is unwittingly drawn into the stories of two people who claim to have been sexually abused by an eminent Sydney monsignor. As a man of character and conscience, Docherty knows he must bring their disturbing testimony to the attention of the Church and secular authorities, no matter at what personal cost. This timely, courageous and profound novel is an exploration of faith as well as an examination of marriage, of conscience and celibacy, and of what has become one of our most controversial institutions, the catholic Church.
