'As the U. S. A. Provincial of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation shuffled the responses of the delegates at the General Chapter in Chicago on the desk before him, it dawned on him that one of the delegates was quite unlike the others, that he was in effect, a mystic and worse, a POET! 

'That delegate, dear reader was none other me. See page 41-42 , IN THE LAND OF GOD to see what the fuss was about."' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Dancing with the Devil : A Journey from the Pulpit to the Bench Chris Geraghty , Richmond : Spectrum , 2012 Z1874290 2012 single work autobiography

'At the age of nearly forty, Christopher Geraghty stopped dancing with the devil and invited another partner out onto the dance floor. A Catholic Priest for nearly fifteen years, Geraghty endured bullying and persecution. This, coupled with a desire for intimacy and belonging, eventually caused Geraghty to turn his back on the priesthood for a chance at love and a family.

'During the ensuing thirty-five years, while learning to dance to a different beat, Geraghty studied law and, for the last sixteen years of his professional life, worked as a judge in Sydney.

'This is a story that it is at times painful, sometimes funny, at times embarrassing and surprisingly honest. By luck and the grace of God, his story has a happy ending.

'Geraghty's book is full of evidence to support his conclusions about the Church as a "big corporation" prepared to "do what it takes" to get what it wants. The hierarchy does not come out well.' (From the publisher's website.)
