| Publisher Description: On a cloudy Friday in 1980 the pot smoking Bad Clergy are out for a big night in the dirty old 'Syndey' town. Kelly, Muldoon, Mahone and Clancy (and two silent companions) - Catholic priests all - throw off their robes and embrace the contradictions of their theological guardianship.
This radical Australian novel is a literary burlesque of prose, poetry and dialogue, irreverently satirizing Catholic theology and the priesthood with reference to how the Church deals with pedophile priests.
Bad Clergy offers a jarring, darkly humorous and fantastical taste of the bitter clash between convenient dogma and inconvenient reality. A cult book in waiting. The second edition revised. Companion to the book - God in the Human Machine - a theobiography. |
