4.0 out of 5 stars
the year 1974:the politics around a politicized archbishop,
By A Customer
This review is from: The good shepherd;: A novel, (Hardcover)
3/30/02 Thomas Flemings The Good Shepherd pubished by Doubleday in 1974 and presented as a condensed book by Reader's Digest in 1974..shows the Archbishop Matthew Mahan running a big city diocese(So far I've been totally curious as to how the archbishop rationalized his trying to save wayward priest from various self-destructions by finding 'nun-owned' hospitals to admit them to...vacations to send them to,when they seemed burnt out,..and promises to 'undump them'(they usually put them in with non clergy(e.g. the laity) so laiticing them still gave them hope of returning to religious duties after they'd been rehabilated.Being the 'broad shoulders for divorced women to cry on didn't help much for their celibacy vows.(in all cases the eternal sentence"I feel so unworthy," be it congregation or clergy seems to throw rational out the window.3/30/02 abj
