In his intriguing and informative book Sin, Shame and Secrets: A True Story of the Murder of a Nun, the Conviction of a Priest, and the Cover-up in the Catholic Church, award-winning journalist and author David Yonke —who’s “now working full time as the editor of The News-Messenger in Fremont and the News Herald in…
In 2010, Michael Voris gave a presentation to a live audience on the Church Militant program, Catholic Investigative Agency.
