Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
James Carroll weaves together the story of his quest to understand his personal beliefs and his relationship to the Catholic Church with the history of the Church itself. From his first awakening of faith as a boy to his gradual disillusionment as a Catholic, Carroll offers a razor-sharp examination both of himself and of how the Church became an institution that places power and dominance over people through an all-male clergy.

The personal story is far from relatable and not inspiring

The writing of James Carroll has changed my life. As a 73 year old Catholic, I have found answers to the quest I have pursued through my lifelong faith journey. As a result, I have experienced a simpler, yet more profound, presence of Jesus Christ. Like Carroll, I remain Catholic…for that is who I am…but his words have clarified my vision and opened the window to God’s peace and love.
Thank you James Carroll for your research as well as insight into your personal faith journey. Your work is a gift.

In this revelatory, authoritative portrait of Donald J. Trump and the toxic family that made him, Mary L. Trump, a trained clinical psychologist and Donald’s only niece, shines a bright light on the dark history of their family in order to explain how her uncle became the man who now threatens the world’s health, economic security, and social fabric.

The author's quest to discover the truth opens window after window of understanding for readers to view and hopefully embrace. As he states, "Giving up" one's world view is difficult but required for change to occur.
