3 reasons to buy the #BookofGomorrah

1st, re ecclesiastical reform & sexual sin, as relevant today, if not more so, as when penned it around 1049 A.D.

2nd, introductory & critical commentary dispels a tenacious myth about this work & St. Peter, aims to provide a “scrupulously accurate version".

#BookofGomorrah

3rd, provides "a rich but brief biography of St. Peter Damian," & is a "short but essential springboard to deeper research on the larger topic of the sodomitical subversion of the Church and the Gospel at different times and places."
