A former priest, Brian Devlin provides ‘front-row seat’ details of the scandal that unravelled around the allegations against Scottish Catholic Cardinal Keith O’Brien. One of four whistle-blowers, Brian Devlin has made an effort to recount the story not from a place of anger and hurt but learning and change.

The once loving and responsive institution cries for likeminded leadership, one that can better shepherd the almost 2 billion Catholics desperate for guidance and assurance. Brian Devlin asks the hard questions, analyses the harsh behaviour of the Catholic hierarchy, and provides ways the Church can heal and regain the trust of its faithful.
