There is a new book coming out in April, so naturally I haven't actually read it yet. But considering the timing and the subject matter, it seems like a good idea to post it here.

The book is called:

"Goodbye Good Men"
How Catholic Seminaries Turned Away Two Generations of Vocations From the Priesthood
by Michael S. Rose
( ISBN 0-9676371-1-2)

"American Catholics have been left reeling by recent clergy sex scandals, and have wondered how things could have gotten so bad. "Goodbye! Good Men" has the shocking answers. Rose presents evidence that the destruction of Catholicism in America has primarily been an inside job carried out by unchaste gay priests, feminist nuns and theological dissenters in control of the institutional Church - and he names names. Goodbye! Good Men could not have come at a better time for the American Church which is in desperate need of authentic reform. At last, someone has written the blockbuster book orthodox Catholics have been hoping and praying for." -- Rod Dreher National Review

Sounds like an insiders' cabal driving the real candidates away. There was a news piece on a seminarian who was driven away by constant sexual harrassment by the males at some American seminary. Came out about a month ago.

Is that the direction this book will take?
