In it the authors, two young Italian journalists, a man and a woman (both excommunicated as the result of this book), go undercover and enter Catholic confessionals all over Italy pretending to be conflicted people who want to discuss their personal, sexual problems with priests. They talk about premarital sex, sexual experimentation, birth control, and extramarital affairs in order to get the priests to "expose" themselves as backward, silly, closed-minded, and dogmatic. From the first the authors present themselves as progressive, mature, open-minded, and carriers of the voice of truth."; 9.30 X 6.30 X 0.90 inches; 213 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
