E-grāmata: Devils in the House of God: Based on Real Events

The Italian Abbot General, Andreae Pantaloni, who envied and resented the Prior's excellence and his popularity among the majority of the monks, supported the conspiracy of some monks against the Prior of a monastery in India. To keep the Wayanad Monastery under his control, Andreae followed the old colonial tactic: divide and rule. With his influence of being an Italian Abbot General who was but a few steps away from the Vatican power corridors, Andreae manipulated the Holy See and procured documents against the Indian monks who had neither power nor influence. Andreae had the advantage of being White. With the European colonial attitude, Andreae invaded the spiritual frontiers of Indian soil. Andreae, with the consent of the Holy See, termed the Indian monks who stood up to him as 'dissidents'. The Vatican favored the Italin who was higher in hierarchical rank and ignored the mercy-plea of the ordinary Indian monks for help. Not having anyone to help them in their struggle for justice, the monks were forced to leave the Order. After more than a decade later, Anthony, one of the prime conspirators, ascended the throne of the Abbot General. The chief shepherd crept in through the back door. A story and history of the struggle of a group of Catholic monks in a monastery torn by conspiracy and betrayal, half-truths and falsehood, power struggle and abuse of authority. Based on real events.
