Scandals in the Roman Catholic Church is a historical monument to Christian fanaticism from the 1^st to the 19^th century. Although time heals most wounds, the scandalous behavior of the Church and the insatiable perversion of the clergy throughout the centuries gives testament to the fact that nothing has changed within the inner machinations of the Church — pedophilia and sex abuse exists to this day, usurpation exists to this day, as does the obscene wealth of the Church. In his heart-felt Forewords and Introduction, von Corvin was aghast at how humankind, in the throes of superstition and fear of death, could have sacrificed rational scientific reasoning for an unsubstantiated belief in the holy “riff-raff.” He continues by truly not understanding how one human being could put himself in the position of Vice-God and treat his fellow humans with such contempt and fraud. Compiled by court records, the writings of saints, bishops and prelates, and historical facts, Scandals in the Roman Catholic Church is indeed an accurate representation of the inner workings of the Church as it has dealt with sex crimes; it reveals to the reader how by comparison very little has changed since the inception of the Church. It is up to the reader to conclude whether von Corvin’s material is accurate and self-serving or whether he cites pearls of truth throughout.
