Hiyas. Just read that book a long time ago and it was powerful. One of those books you remember decades later.
One of the passages i remember clearly is the author interviewed a guy who was in the seminary and the guy wanted to become a priest and he was straight. Not a gay.
This young man said, every night the homosexuals in the seminary were partying late into the morning and having sex. It was loud and made it hard to sleep.
He said, i am being tested by god and must remain faithful and strong. Eventually, this young man could not endure it any longer and left the seminary.
A good man, gone.
I probably butchered this because its been 10 years since i read it, but you get the point.
Powerful stuff and so sad about the current state of the catholic church. My hope is the church does heal itself because i have fauth it can be a force for good in the world.

Not now, though under its current marxist leader.
