A boy is murdered inexplicably by someone he should Have been able to trust, his parish priest.
Sprinkled with local color and stories, Bless Me, Father, for I Have Sinned provides the reader with a critical examination of the church\'s role in child abuse in the form of a story that will keep the pages turning only to pause to laugh, cry, to be enraged, or to reflect..
With the protection of the church, the priest felt invincible.
This provides him access to more soon-to-be victims.
The priest is transferred from parish to parish by the diocese in order to hide him.
The evil that he uncovers shakes him to the very core, but it also furthers his resolve to bring this murderer to justice.
He was wrong.
He is a savvy cop who, in his twenty years as a detective in Boston, thought he had seen everything.
Would justice prevail? How far would the church go to save its image? What happens when a person holds the ultimate power over another in their hands? Do they use it for good or to further their own needs? How can a group that purports to be the representative of the ultimate good harbor such evil? Frank Slater, the Chief of Police in a small western Massachusetts town, is pitted against the Archdiocese of Boston, whose tentacles of control reach all over New England and beyond.
But the power of the church intervened to thwart the investigation.
The investigation revealed something very disturbing about the priest and his relationship to the boy, something unholy.
Everything pointed to the priest as the killer.
In a small town with a police force run by a veteran from the hard streets of a big city, this should Have been an open-and-shut case.
