Overview

On trial in an American courtroom for the crime of being a Catholic? Wolves in Sheep's Clothing is one family's case for staying Catholic after injury and betrayal. The incredible true story. What would you do if your faith was put to the test; everything you believed in was turned upside down; and you suddenly found yourself under arrest and on trial for the crime of being a Catholic? Would there be enough evidence to convict you? One rural American county Prosecutor thought so. Moving to the remote northern Minnesota wilderness to partner with a Byzantine Catholic monastery to assist them in expanding their mission seemed innocent enough to the Schoonard family. The monk's invitation seemed like a rare and unique opportunity for them to continue their family mission of bringing Jesus Christ to others. They would soon discover that not everything at the monastery was as innocent as it seemed . . . With the suspense of a detective novel, missionary Tim Schoonard shares the incredible true story, chronicling the events surrounding his 2010 arrest and criminal prosecution, after being falsely accused of a crime by the Byzantine Catholic monks of a renegade monastery in an elaborate attempt to cover up the actions of their members. After being maliciously betrayed or injured by trusted friends and Church leaders, it often seems easier in our sufferings to cast our blame or abandon the entire Catholic Church for the actions of a few evil men. Wolves in Sheep's Clothing is one family's testimony to persevering in faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and the decisions they made, that gave them the courage to stand together in the face of overwhelming odds, to defend the Catholic Church and each other against a dissident faction of anti-Catholic forces concealing themselves within the Church and government authorities. Even after being left homeless in the aftermath and living in an abandoned warehouse without running water, Wolves in Sheep's Clothing gives unique testimony to God's loving providence on the long and often difficult road that leads to healing, and through it all, even in moments of doubt, how one family kept their Catholic faith.
