Current events have focused on the sex scandals in the Roman Catholic Church, although this is by far not a new development in the Catholic Church. The historical facts, court records, the writings of saints, bishops and prelates from which this book was compiled tell us that the kind of scandals which now rock the Church are not a present-day, modern dilemma, but rather have their origin many centuries ago. The reader may draw his own conclusions from these facts.There is a divine law of cause, effect and consequence from which neither person nor entity nor situation can escape. Sooner or later all things come to the light of day, regardless of whether they are the actions of a person, a government or a church. There are distinct patterns within the universe -- empires rise and fall, we are born and we die, and the various evolutionary processes come and go -- all keeping within the law of cause, effect and consequence.
