Sr. Christine Kresho (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 24, 2007

When he was a young priest, Archbishop Garrote and his sister Sr. Frances Mary shared a common vision of the Catholic Church. Now he has lost that vision and feels threatened by an activist group in his archdiocese known as Cry Justice, of which his sister and another friend, Father Charlie, are prominent members. Father Will Owens, the archbishop’s driver and assistant, holds a deadly grudge against Sr. Frances Mary and two other sisters who served with him at Sacred Heart parish. Convinced that he is the redeemer chosen to bring the church back to its “Catholic roots,” he also fantasizes that he will be the savior of two women to whom he is attracted. His plans to destroy Cry Justice as well as satisfy his desire for revenge begin with the murder and rape of Sr. Frances Mary and the death of Father Charlie.

This review is from: Sacred Betrayal (Paperback)

Religious differences and old hates create a deadly situation. To be sure, not everyone agrees with the vision Cry Justice has for the future of the Catholic church, but one priest is willing to kill to stop them, in the process sating his own, carnal desires and bloodlust. Playing on years' old grudges, one twisted priest will manipulate events so that no one who disagrees with his views will be safe from his vengeance.

Sister Kreshno has created a villain that will give you chills. She shows how dangerous fanaticism is, making it clear that such distortions are in no way part of Christ's true church. If you are a fan of Andrew Greeley, especially the Blackie Ryan or Nuala series, then you will in all likelihood find this a new treasure to add to your collection.
