Goodbye, Good Men: How Liberals Brought Corruption into the Catholic Church

I can stand by this book.My parish pastor and associate pastor both read it, and said it is all true. It has changed many seminaries, revealing how young men seeking priesthood and applying to seminaries all over the country, who were "loyal to the Magisterium" were turned away and their applications labeled "too rigid". Many true stories, including three pages by Fr. John Trigilio, who wrote "Catholicism for Dummies" on how he was discouraged and rejected by two seminarries. I can verify some near me.

Goodbye, Good Men is a sobering, eye-opening, edifying analysis of the failing of bishops, vocation offices and seminaries the last sixty years which have promulgated the gay subculture within the institution and exponentially stoked the priest sex scandal.While one might think the book focuses primarily on the sex scandal and the gay subculture the primary thrust of the book has to be about the liberal, anti-church dissenters that have invaded the church hierarchy, dioceses, seminaries and liberal laity which have metastasized themselves in local parishes and educational and liturgical programs.While Michael Rose work acknowledges the present priest shortage in the US, the data clearly shows, beyond a doubt, it is all man-made, contrived, by the wicked and diabolical within the church. These corrupt bishops, priest, seminary rectors, clip-haired, feminazi-nuns and progressive laity exacerbated the pedophile/ephebophilia sexual abuse, injuring thousands of children by fomenting their homosexual subculture. Additionally, their aberrant ideology created four times as many victims by turning away good, pious, orthodox men away from a priestly vocation that would not embrace their homo-heresy agenda, causing deep psychological scars upon these men. Their agenda of reshaping of the church to include, woman ordination, married priest, contraception, abortion, rejection of chastity and celibacy and a plethora of liturgical abuses is contrary to 2000 plus years of church tradition and the teachings of Christ.Time to purge our church; dioceses, seminaries, chanceries, educational institutions, and parishes of these abhorrent individuals.Goodbye Good Men is a well written, researched book!

Wow. What a great book! I could not put it down. What a page turner! This is a book that every Catholic needs to read. The conservative Catholics will be shocked and saddened that this disease infected the Catholic church. The liberal Catholics will cheer because this disease infected the Catholic church. I am the former. This book was published in 2002 and I hope in the 14 years that have transpired since then, that this infection has been eradicated from the American seminaries and that traditional Catholic values are now being taught to new seminarians. Mr. Rose did an excellent job of research and the way in which he presented the facts was concise, easy to get a grip on and as I said in the beginning of this review, I could not put the book down. I have since passed it on to others to read. When you read this book, prepare to be shocked at what the liberals tried to do to this miracle called the Catholic church and what, I am sure, they will continue to try to do. Hopefully, reading this book will also make you very angry and want to fight even harder to protect and preserve the faith. Thank you, Michael Rose!

Reviews the sad state of affairs affecting the Bride of Christ. Modernism / Atheistic humanism destroys whatever it touches. We see it in real life being played out before our eyes with Francis, Casper, Cupich, Wuerl and all other tools of Satan that came before them to set the stage for destruction. As destructive as Hitler, Pol Pot were to the human race, those invaders in the Church are much worse as they are destroying souls.This book gives the destruction context for those awakening to the reality that we are in a fight for truth, goodness and family, that we can no longer go blithely along minding to our own affairs, we must rise and be the Church Militant, to defend Christ and his one Catholic Church. Christ lamented if he would find faith on earth at his return, it’s time to stand up and be counted among the righteous.

I've read other books, mostly about the pedophile horrors of the catholic church. I figured there was a concrete reason that nothing has been done to really get rid of & decommission sexually sick priests. This book offers much sickening background re: life in seminaries in recent decades. My conclusion: The majority of religiously-titled men in the catholic church are so sexually twisted, that they really see pedophilia and pederasty of their fellow priests, to be just a "preference", not an evil and horrible crime. This book doesn't focus on THAT, but it provides big CLUES as to what has been going on among "the boys" and men in the catholic hierarchy in America. It ain't pretty.

JMJ An answer to my Prayers on what's happened to the Catholic Church I was raised in. I have actually experienced some of this first hand. I asked Our Lord to show me. He did. Some innocents have been murdered, others committed suicide. Families destroyed. Souls lost. So many lost their Faith and left the Church. New Age Nuns.

....for any Catholic who wants to know what happened to the Church? This book explains much. Buy two copies and give one away. Keep this book moving.

This is required reading for all of those faithful Catholics who wonder why our Church is in such a disastrous mess. If I could give this 6 stars I would.. A little dated now, but it is an excellent book; very sad, of course given what we know follows.

Now we know through this book why we have few good priests. This crisis in the church was a deliberate ploy to subvert the Catholic church, thereby causing as much damage as possible. Many have left the faith and left the church. This is her passion, but Christ's church will never die. It may shrink under attack, but it will survive as it always has.

This book thoroughly examines some of the main causes for the ongoing Church crisis and the abuse scandals that continue to be exposed to this day. I was shocked that this book was published all the way back in 2002 and that I hadn't heard about it until now. The points discussed in the book are both astounding and utterly heart-breaking. But shedding light on the darkness and exposing the corruption and infiltration is both prudent and necessary in fighting the good fight of the Faith.

Excellent - sad story though

good book if you like this kind of topic

Informative and very disturbing.
