On 7 January 1922 Raoul Delorme's body was discovered in a Montreal suburb. He had been shot six times at close range. The victim's half-brother, Father Adélard Delorme, quickly became the prime suspect as circumstantial evidence pointed directly to him. In one of the first uses of ballistics, police matched the bullets used in the murder to a gun he had purchased only days before the murder, there were human bloodstains in his car, and the victim's body was wrapped in a quilt that matched others found at the Delorme house. Father Delorme had also recently taken out a life insurance policy on his brother, naming himself as beneficiary, and stood to inherit most of the family's estate under Raoul's will. The Roman Catholic church, however, was an extremely powerful institution in Quebec in the 1920s. Four trials took place before a verdict was reached -- a verdict that still leaves many questions unanswered. The Delorme Affair achieved worldwide notoriety not only because it involved a clergyman but because of Father Delorme's eccentric personality, the twists and turns of the investigation, and extensive media coverage. Legendary Montreal police detective George Farah-Lajoie was in charge of the investigation and the case involved the best legal talent in Canada as well as the expertise of Wilfrid Derôme, founder of the Montreal Crime Laboratory and father of forensic medicine in North America. A fascinating true story, The Cassock and the Crown is based on trial transcripts, interviews with individuals involved in the case, and twenty-five years of archival research. It provides insight into Quebec culture in the 1920s and is a topical look, in light of recent celebrity trials, at the subjective nature of the judicial system when it deals with people in positions of prestige and power.

"Religious authority has long been a central concern for religious traditions. This is especially the case for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Indeed, the Mormon tradition's emphasis on prophetic authority makes them unique within American religious culture. This book will trace the contours of Mormonism's unique claim to religious authority, and what such a claim can tells us about the surrounding context from which it emerged. Though most Americans ideologically opposed the idea of monarchy and politically equated it with tyranny and suppression, religion created a space in which individuals could build a kingdom of God and one could worship a divine king. Mormonism can be thus aligned with American's post-Revolutionary "nostalgia for monarchy," framing its development within the concept of American religious authority that was being shaped by the symbiotic relationship of American religion and cultural authority. The religion Joseph Smith created not only established a kingdom of God, it positioned him as the authoritative voice of Christ on earth, successfully shaping an independent religious authority in which the voice of the prophet formed cities, established economies, and arranged governance. Prophetic Authority examines the origins of the LDS priesthood and its relationship to Joseph Smith's notions of religious authority, and specifically investigates the evolution of the concept of prophetic authority. MacKay argues that the ecstatic element of Smith's experiences, which eventually becomes a central part of Smith's articulation of a priesthood restoration, can be read as growing out of the nineteenth-century American revivalism particular to the Burned Over District. The project takes a solid historical work a step further in terms of analysis and theological interpretation, which leads to some fascinating new claims and discussions"--

My Basilian Priesthood is a memoir of Michael Quealey's six years in the order in the 1960s. During his priesthood, Quealey was director of the Newman Centre at the University of Toronto and engaged in reforming the mass and in other theological matters. The 1960s was a time of questioning traditions, including the role of Biblical criticism, the nature of liturgy, the place of women in the Church and in society, and the power of community living and decision-making. Quealey was deeply involved in all these matters, and sought to fulfill his commitment to service and balance that with his faith and vows of obedience to the institution of the Church. Written decades after the events he describes, the book is his reflection on the excitement of the times and the tensions created when tradition encountered new ideas and new forms of communal living. Here's a story that blends Toronto history with Catholic Church history and an inside look at 1960s counterculture.

This book examines the tension between social mores and religious activities among the laity in the Italian diocese of Bergamo during the later Middle Ages (1265-c.1400). Comparing the religious activities of lay men and women, both rich and poor, across a range of pious and ecclesiastical institutions, including confraternities, hospitals, parishes and the diocese, Roisin Cossar shows how the laity's access to these institutions increasingly came to depend on their gender and social status during the fourteenth century. At the same time, she argues that all lay people, regardless of gender and social status, viewed themselves as equal members of a lay ordo. The book thus illuminates the complexity of late medieval religious culture, as it simultaneously reflected and challenged secular social values.
