Shocked to find corruption widespread in the ranks of their
shepherds today, too many good Catholics are tempted to leave the Church, unaware that ever since the days when Jesus' own treasurer, Judas Iscariot, had his hand in the till, the Good Shepherd and His faithful followers have regularly been betrayed by bad shepherds.
In these eye-opening pages, Church historian Rod Bennett
introduces a number of those bad shepherds, including Bishop
Eusebius of Nicomedia, who regularly sold out the Church to
the Roman emperor; Pope Stephen VII, who so hated his late
predecessor that he had him dug up, put on trial, and flung into
the Tiber; Benedict IX, who bought and sold the papacy (twice );
and Pope John XII, whose debauchery rivaled that of the corrupt
emperor Caligula.
