Shocked to find corruption widespread in the ranks of their shepherds today, too many good Catholics are tempted to leave the Church, unaware that ever since the days when Jesus' own treasurer, Judas Iscariot, had his hand in the till, the Good Shepherd and His faithful followers have been regularly betrayed by bad shepherds. In these eye-opening pages, Church historian Rod Bennett introduces a number of those bad shepherds, including Bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia, who regularly sold out the Church to the Roman emperor; Pope Stephen VII, who so hated his late predecessor that he had him dug up, put on trial, and flung into the Tiber; Benedict IX, who bought and sold the papacy (twice!); and Pope John XII, whose debauchery rivaled that of the corrupt emperor Caligula. Those were very bad shepherds indeed, but while they did the Devil’s work, good Catholics not only survived — they thrived. They outlasted their bad shepherds, preserved in their ranks the Faith of our fathers, and served in each instance as the foundation for a cleansing of the House of God and a vigorous renewal of the Faith. These enlightening pages demonstrate that it can happen again!

The Bad Shepherd''s shadowy figure exposed his dark side early in life. Later, Joe Shepherd's escapades in rural Tennessee captured the attention of the entire state during the 1970's and 1980's. His penchant for hanging around with young teenagers seeking his next quarry avoided scrutiny for a while. The third grade educated man with unkempt clothing and greasy fingernails was able to charm young, poor, and unsuspecting women. Many women have shared their harrowing experiences with Joe. After two girls separately disappear for a period of time, the elusive Shepherd also disappeared. He would prove to be a cunning quarry for Joe Graves and the rest of the Tennessee police force during those days. He would become one of Tennessee's most notorious killer who evaded law enforcement for years. His dastardly deeds during this period defies imagination. Questions remain about the "rest of the story" still today.
