Publisher's Synopsis
"For almost forty years, Honduran ambassador Alejandro Valladares was among the closest friends of the man who would become Pope Francis' "vice pope" and lead his efforts to restructure the Vatican: Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez Maradiaga. In Sacred Betrayals, Valladares' widowed spouse reveals the troubling web of financial and moral corruption that she discovered after their family's life savings disappeared in a bogus investment scheme recommended by Maradiaga, one that led ultimately to the highest reaches of the Vatican, and to Pope Francis himself. Martha Alegría de Valladares exposes the naked impunity and abuses committed by Maradiaga under the regime of Francis, and cries out for justice, both for herself and for the innumerable other victims of clerical corruption. No concerned Catholic can ignore her testimony"--.
