ALL THE CARDINALS MEN

Victims at twelve, they could not comprehend the abuse and excruciating pain.

They cried until no tears were left then they escaped!



An engrossing story of priests, paedophilia and murder. In the seminary, some had a game, and a prize... the Cardinal's Cross.

To score... the systematic rape of boys in the homes, but a young victim dies and the body is hidden.



Six years pass - a young male prostitute relentlessly pursues the priests responsible, one by one they fall victim to the killer.





The young boys had nowhere to go... no one to trust.

This Australian story exhibits all the harshness of life in the early eighties. Alcohol added to the austerity of their family lives. Progression into the welfare system and abuse followed. Conspiracy was just part of the failure of the church to ensure the safety of the boys in the care of their priests. Concealment by the celibate hierarchy and a cover-up provides the background. Throughout the churches, this much has been true... Many of the abused and forgotten victims have thought about killing their priestly predators. This intriguing plot, the hunt for the killer and the unusual ending could happen in any community anywhere given the crisis in not only the Catholic Church, but other institutions as well.



Only God knows!
