Reviews
[Jordan] has offered glimpses, anecdotal stories, and scholarly observations that are a whole greater than the sum of its parts.... If homosexuality is the guest that refuses to leave the table, Jordan has at least shed light on why that is and in the process made the whole issue, including a conflicted Catholic Church, a little more understandable. - Larry B. Stammer, Los Angeles Times; [Jordan] knows how to present a case, and with apparently effortless clarity he demonstrates the church's double bind and how it affects Vatican rhetoric, the training of priests, and ecclesiastical protectiveness toward an army of closet cases.... [T]his book will interest readers of every faith. - Daniel Blue, Lambda Book Report
