Read Banned Books!

You won't find most of the books and materials we feature on these pages in the library of your local Catholic parish. Why not? Because the truth in these resources do not coincide with the claim of the Catholic hierarchy that problems of sexual abuse by clergy were "isolated cases", that the scandal ended in 2002, or that "it's a new day" in the church. .

Picking up a couple of these books or DVDs will be like pulling the curtain away from the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. It's not what you might think but you may be impressed by the performance.
