The Wire

The Catholic Church has been under the hammer lately, with yet more revelations of cover-ups of incidents involving paedophile priests. Chris Geraghty spent 15 years as a Catholic priest, but eventually left because he couldn’t deal with the reality of what he was witnessing behind the church’s moral façade.

His book ‘Dancing with the Devil’ deals with his years with the church and why he left. He remembers one incident in particular, where he felt morally compromised.
