Religious ministers are far more imaginative sinners than politicians, Times columnist Matthew Parris has discovered. Runaway Bishops and naughty vicars are a staple of today's tabloid newspapers, but as he reveals in THE GREAT UNFROCKED, they're only a part of the tradition of colorful clerics dating back centuries. The author's funny and well-researched study draws heavily on many previously unpublished sources and offers engaging proof that people don't always practise what they preach.

Good Humor!,

This review is from: The Great Unfrocked: Two Thousand Years of Church Scandal (Hardcover)
This book was nice for a pleasant afternoon diversion when home with the flu. Each scandal is brought to light and the humor of each is delivered in typical British humour. It has some nice illustrations and pictures of the various "bad" seeds. Nice for someone who wants something light hearted and easy to read as well as to put down when blowing nose.
