The Truth Shall Make You Free: Catholicism and the CIA

I can’t help but feel like this article (and a lot of articles written these days) feel like they’re building up to something but end up finishing abruptly and not really going anywhere. Kind of like a TV show that wants to hook viewers, but the writers don’t know where to take it after season 1.

This article felt pretty consistent to me, but I wonder if you aren't looking at it in term of a call to action, some practical advice, or trying to reach a simple conclusion.

I feel these kind of articles are harder to sell (we step outside of the fact based approach, right into beliefs and opinions). There is also the issue of most of these call to action and opinions getting buried pretty fast by virtue of ours current media system, as more often than not the conclusion is pretty brutal and disturbing to a majority of people.

That's because it completely leaves out the guerrilla in the room and instead spends the entire article discussing the mouse behind the radiator and the fly in the trash can.

It's a book review: if they told you everything, then you would be less inclined to buy the book.

No it's actually two book reviews, mixed up with the reviewer's own convoluted and confused mind map regarding the words "Catholic" and "CIA".
