Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The trial is fictional. The evidence is not.When a disgraced priest and a broken lawyer join forces to drag the Vatican into open court, faith itself goes on trial. Father Charles Murphy, a convicted pedophile dying behind bars, believes he's received one last message from God: Sue the Vatican-for making him a monster. To do it, he turns to Vincent Vance, the ex-prosecutor who once destroyed him-now aburned-out addict with nothing left to lost. Their case unleashes a firestorm that tears through pulpits, prisons, and courtrooms, exposing secrets the Church has buried for centuries. As the world watches, both men are forced to confront a truth far more dangerous than guilt or innocence.Some sins don't stay buried-and some justice comes with a price. A blistering legal thriller inspired by real evidence and historical records, SUING THE VATICAN is an unholy collision of power, truth, and redemption-where the battle for justice may cost far more than either man can survive.Vote in the Trial of the Century This item is printed on demand.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 'A riveting legal drama that provocatively puts the Church on trial.'The trial is fictional. The evidence is not.Synopsis and 2 Editorial ReviewsKIrkus Star Review1--'Kirkus Review'-'A riveting legal drama that provocatively puts the Church on trial.' 'In Sebastian's legal thriller, a disgraced former priest and his prosecutor team up to demand accountability from the Catholic Church.Father Charles Murphy, a 92-year-old pedophile and former Catholic priest doing 'fifty-to-life,' has spent years facing threats and fearing assaults from guards and inmates alike. After a near-death experience, Murphy finds himself overwhelmed by memories of the events that shaped his sexuality and, ultimately, relationship to the Church; he, too, had been the victim of sexual assault while growing up. 'Somebody needs to hold the Catholic Church accountable,' he decides, and resolves to sue the Vatican for 'making him a pedophile.' Who better to assist him than Vincent Vance, the sharp attorney who brought Murphy to justice As personal trials arise for both men and the Church reveals the extent of its powers ('the Vatican was pulling out every stop to make certain he didn't have a prayer of winning at trial. The audacity stuck in his throat'), the novel poses a sharp question as to whether a religious institution can truly be held responsible. Some genuinely fascinating ideas are at work in this book; questions about institutional guilt, complicity, and faith develop via poignant lines like 'God's misplaced faith in men created a man-made church which has committed the worst crimes in human history.' One of the strongest plot lines follows Vance's struggle with alcoholism, which is heavily fueled by career pressures. The author explores the idea of forgiveness, but it's the tension between guilt and innocence that drives the story as the Church stands trial and two broken men seek redemption. Though the narrative is fictional, Sebastian's personal experience as a survivor and the extensive research detailed in the ending notes place the story in a fascinating space somewhere between fiction and reality that will haunt readers long after the final pages.'2--Booklife Review'A powerful legal thriller exploring the Catholic Church's potential culpability in decades of abuse.''.this riveting courtroom drama, adding a powerful voice to the chorus of abuse victims pleading for long-delayed justice.'Takeaway: 'Detailing willful ignorance of abuse, fictional trial offers real catharsis.'.…
