He has helped detectives solve a number of murders. Now he sets out to work on trying to find the killer or killers of the prostitutes. In the meantime he persuades Gloria Winthrop, a very successful and wealthy lawyer, to set up a half way house to get the prostitutes off the street. He enlists the help of a young priest, Jim Norwood, in his endeavor. His efforts to solve these murders lead him into the highways and byways of the ever-expanding mystery, the dark night of crime and heavy heartbreak.

The Priest and Prostitute by Victor S E Moubarak Pdf

When Father Ignatius is suspected of murder his whole life is turned upside down. His faith takes a real shaking as he tries in vain to plead his innocence. The Church is shaken to its very foundations and his parishioners jump to as many conclusions as they can find and start judging without any facts or evidence. This is the time for the priest to find out who his real friends are. Or are they keeping close to him for ulterior motives? "THE PRIEST AND PROSTITUTE" is a fast-paced story with believable characters and situations. A realistic self-test as to one's faith and beliefs, as well as the ability to stay focussed on God when it seems He has abandoned you.

A COURTEZAN FOR THE PRIEST by Fiona Walters Pdf

An English woman, who is romantically involved with a Greek Orthodox priest on a remote Aegean island, is eventually revealed as a call girl via a Greek magazine article she consented to be interviewed for some time previously. This, though, is not what gets the parishioners' backs up as the affair unfolds. Vestiges of a pagan past still linger here, which resonate with Maggy via a dream: so at the priest's request, she undertakes the role of oracle to divine the outcome of any repercussions. The divination proves to be far more prophetic than he bargained for.

The Manly Priest by Jennifer D. Thibodeaux Pdf

During the High Middle Ages, members of the Anglo-Norman clergy not only routinely took wives but also often prepared their own sons for ecclesiastical careers. As the Anglo-Norman Church began to impose clerical celibacy on the priesthood, reform needed to be carefully negotiated, as it relied on the acceptance of a new definition of masculinity for religious men, one not dependent on conventional male roles in society. The Manly Priest tells the story of the imposition of clerical celibacy in a specific time and place and the resulting social tension and conflict. No longer able to tie manliness to marriage and procreation, priests were instructed to embrace virile chastity, to become manly celibates who continually warred with the desires of the body. Reformers passed legislation to eradicate clerical marriages and prevent clerical sons from inheriting their fathers' benefices. In response, some married clerics authored tracts to uphold their customs of marriage and defend the right of a priest's son to assume clerical office. This resistance eventually waned, as clerical celibacy became the standard for the priesthood. By the thirteenth century, ecclesiastical reformers had further tightened the standard of priestly masculinity by barring other typically masculine behaviors and comportment: gambling, tavern-frequenting, scurrilous speech, and brawling. Charting the progression of the new model of religious masculinity for the priesthood, Jennifer Thibodeaux illustrates this radical alteration and concludes not only that clerical celibacy was a hotly contested movement in high medieval England and Normandy, but that this movement created a new model of manliness for the medieval clergy.
