Book Fair: Thompson/Gagnon on Doyle, et al.

Marge Thompson, whom I knew as Marge Gagnon, once the pride of Manchester (NH) High School West, now an indefatigable organizer of a 53d-anniversary class reunion, addresses an issue on which I know she feels deeply, in this entry at the Underbelly summer Book Fair.
Sex, Priests, and Secret Codes: The Catholic Church's 2,000 Year Paper Trail of Sexual Abuse by Fr. Thomas Doyle, A.W.R. Sipe and Patrick J. Wall. It demonstrates a deep problem that spans the Church's history. So much has been revealed since the Sexual abuse was brought to light by the The Boston Globe articles February 2002. I could also recommend 4 other books about what has been revealed since 2002.
Comment: this item does indeed appear to be available from standard sources; there is also a preview up at Google Books. Recall that for your convenience, we are still collecting all the Book Fair posts here.
