Millstone Around His Neck (Paperback)

Years before the cases of paedophilia among priests alarmed The Catholic Church, father Anthony Dunn was plagued in his conscience after his sexual abuse of a young boy. Though trusting that his sin had been forgiven he did not find it possible to make amends between himself and the child he had harmed. The bishop,to whom father Anthony confided, wanted to protect the church against scandal and transferred him from working in a parish to an outer post. When the media turns focus towards the unveiling of Paedophilia and begin digging for older, hidden cases, father Anthony is warned against a journalist and fears to be accused. "Millstone Around His Neck is an intelligent, thoughtful and engaging piece of work that takes courageous perspective on a sensitive subject".
