The not-so-holy behavior of Catholic priests and its cover-up by the church is nothing new. At least that's what Cincinnati CityBeat's Gregory Flannery says as he chronicles his own experiences as a youth in seminary school. Flannery vividly and explicitly
describes the sexual abuse that plagues the Catholic church. "I have
seen crimes against children, vice behind the walls of a powerful institution and the betrayal of
ancient ideals," Flannery writes. "But telling secrets always feels dirty, and the feeling doesn't diminish simply because some secrets deserve to be told."
