Did not think I would be interested in this topic, but the book was highly recommended by a friend and I am so glad I bought it. I really encouraged everyone, whether you are Roman Catholic or not, religious or not, to read this one. Mr. Briggs uses the plight of the nun to write an important and interesting social history. Very well written and as close to an inside look at this mysterious world as we are likely to get.

Briggs research is deep and definitive and indisputable.

One need look no further than the arrogant and overtly evil criminality of the late, and anything but great, Cardinal MacIntyre, of the Los Angeles Archdiocese, in the American Roman Catholic Church, and this late Papally censored works Red Hat's tactics, to understand that though the Holy Spirit may be in control for those clinging to their faith, The Devil is firmly in charge of the pension plan for the brides of Christ.
