Sins of the Fathers is a sweeping, unflinching examination of how the Catholic Church's claims to spiritual supremacy were built not on divine guidance but on carefully crafted myths, bold forgeries, and political manipulation. Spanning two millennia, this historical narrative sheds light on the darker aspects of Church history-- those deliberately omitted from catechisms and sanitized institutional accounts.

From the earliest struggles between the Eastern and Western halves of the Christian Church, through the power grabs of the medieval papacy, the morally ambiguous role of the Vatican during fascism and genocide, and into the modern sexual abuse crisis, this book investigates how Church authority was not merely claimed, but entirely fabricated--and at what human cost. The text is rooted in primary source material, the latest scholarship, and a clear, compelling voice accessible to general readers and critical thinkers alike.
