In the same spirit of j'accuse journalism as Christopher Hitchens' The Trial of Henry Kissinger , Daniel Gawthrop takes on the legacy of the recently retired Pope Benedict XVI (né Joseph Ratzinger) in an impassioned broadside that takes readers through a laundry list of scandal and sin ... [Gawthrop] shines a welcome light into some of the darker corners of the Vatican while making a strong case for greater openness and reform. ― Quill and Quire, A damning indictment ... The writer recounts in exhaustive detail the litany of misdeeds perpetrated by the Vatican under this particular pope, the first to resign in centuries. ― Gay and Lesbian Review, Heartbreaking and magisterial ... If Gawthrop's tone is tempered by generosity and compassion, it is because this is what you should expect from a work that is also the memoir of a Roman Catholic atheist (there is such a thing). The Trial is written for everyone: for the free-thinker and for the faithful, and mostly, for the countless millions of obscurantism's victims. ―Terry Glavin, author of Come from the Shadows and Waiting for the Macaws, A strong, clear exposition of the case against the former pope and an intelligent reflection on the lost opportunities of Vatican II. It is a book that will engage and inform all readers, no matter where or whether they worship. ― Vancouver Sun, In the same spirit of j'accuse journalism as Christopher Hitchens' The Trial of Henry Kissinger , Daniel Gawthrop takes on the legacy of the recently retired Pope Benedict XVI (né Joseph Ratzinger) in an impassioned broadside that takes readers through a laundry list of scandal and sin ... [Gawthrop shines a welcome light into some of the darker corners of the Vatican while making a strong case for greater openness and reform. ― Quill and Quire, A must-read indictment of one of the most powerful, reactionary, and secretive organizations in the world. Gawthrop's insightful investigation of a man whose ideas have ruled the Catholic Church for the better part of the last half-century nicely skewers the Ratzingerian mindset--and is all the more devastating, coming from a former member of the flock. ―Stan Persky, author of Then We Take Berlin and The Short Version: An ABC Book, In the same spirit of j'accuse journalism as Christopher Hitchens' The Trial of Henry Kissinger , Daniel Gawthrop takes on the legacy of the recently retired Pope Benedict XVI (né Joseph Ratzinger) in an impassioned broadside that takes readers through a laundry list of scandal and sin ...

Synopsis
On February 28, 2013, Benedict XVI became the first pope in nearly six hundred years to resign. In doing so, Joseph Ratzinger, the man who became Benedict, also relinquished a controversial religious career in which he was largely responsible for the Catholic Church's prodigious troubles: his scorched-earth assault on modernity and the world of ideas destroyed any hope of progress in the Church while leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake. In this persuasive new book, Daniel Gawthrop argues that Ratzinger must not be allowed diplomatic immunity from the abuse scandals that have rocked the Vatican. Gawthrop not only accuses Ratzinger of quitting to avoid potential prosecution, but also indicts him for promoting a toxic theology whose destructive impact can be felt far beyond the Church. In doing so, the book examines Ratzinger's career in all its infamy, from his medieval understanding of women and demonization of homosexuality to his war on liberation theology. It also offers insight into Ratzinger's successor, Pope Francis I, and provocative ideas on how the Church can transform itself, thereby restoring the faith of its followers. During his eight years as pope, Ratzinger attempted to rebrand himself from "God's Rottweiler" to Prince of Peace. The Trial of Pope Benedict reveals the true Ratzinger, in the process telling one of recent history's most astonishing tales of institutional power, religious bullying, and systemic abuse. Daniel Gawthrop is the author of four previous books and is a self-proclaimed "lapsed Catholic" who has written extensively on the subject., In February 2013, Benedict XVI became the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign. In doing so, Joseph Ratzinger, the man who became Benedict, also relinquished a controversial religious career in which he was largely responsible for the Catholic Church's prodigious troubles: his scorched-earth assault on modernity and the world of ideas destroyed any hope of progress in the Church while leaving a trail of shattered lives in its wake. Daniel Gawthrop argues that Ratzinger must not be allowed diplomatic immunity from the abuse scandals., A powerful indictment of Pope Benedict and the Vatican, and a searing assessment of the future of the Catholic Church.
