What has been said...

Forget the “Da Vinci Code”: this is the book that tells the bombshell truth about the Catholic Church … a new book that is a real firecracker – Double Cross: the Code of the Catholic Church by David Ranan. If the Vatican was afraid of the effects of the Da Vinci Code on its corrupt empire, wait until it sees this! Dr David Ranan is a political scientist whose main area of interest is the study of power structures. His academic objectivity adds even more weight to this jaw-dropping exposé of the Vatican’s age-old web of deceit, corruption and murder.

Four hundred and twenty-six dynamite pages of truth-telling that will have Josef Ratzinger squirming on his golden throne.

This really is a book not to miss.

Secularism Newsline (March 2007)

 

Speaking of how other people may see us, I have been reading a fascinating, if somewhat uncomfortable book called Double Cross by David Ranan (Theo Press). When I tell you that it devotes 350 pages to attacking the Church … you will understand why I would not recommend it to anyone who is not familiar with Church history and the general cut and thrust of apologetic debate.

...whenever I was able to check references they proved satisfactory. 

Withal, I found the book salutary … it reminds me how the credibility of the Church has so often been endangered not only by bad individuals but by bad trends.

Catholic Herald (November 2007)

 

Extensively researched with numerous notes to clarify details and an index, Double Cross is a "must-read" for anyone involved in or affected by the Catholic Church, both Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

Midwest Book Review ( July 2007)


Whatever your personal feelings or beliefs about the Church, or about Christianity for that matter, Double Cross is certain to provoke considerable discussion, debate and controversy…
