Revealing book on Catholic Church to be launched

The book "Altar of Secrets: Sex, Money and Politics in the Philippine Catholic Church" will be launched on June 7, 2013 at 6 pm at Fully Booked in The Fort.

Written by journalist Aries Rufo, it is the first of its kind in the country. It shows a Church cloaked in secrecy and portrays an institution where accountability is weak.

The book also delves into the influence of the Catholic Church on the shaping of government policy.

Rufo has covered the Church extensively as a reporter for The Manila Times and Newsbreak.

The book is published by the Journalism for Nation Building Foundation.
