Father Enrique Rueda Recommends New Book The Rite of Sodomy

Export, Pennsylvania, October 19, 2006/New Engel Publishing/ - Fr. Enrique Rueda, author of the 1982 exposé The Homosexual Network – Private Lives and Public Policy, is urging “all Catholics, especially clergy and lay leadership, to own and read very carefully” Randy Engel’s controversial new book, The Rite of Sodomy – Homosexuality and the Roman Catholic Church.

In his statement promoting The Rite of Sodomy, which starts where The Homosexual Network left off by documenting the rise of homosexuality and pederasty within the American Catholic hierarchy, the diocesan priesthood and religious orders, Rueda explains the crux of the current problem in the Catholic Church. “The true reform of the Church – not the phony ‘aggiornamento’ that has taken over and nearly destroyed God’s work of salvation,” he says, “is dependent on the development of a deep traditional spirituality on the part of us all and a good understanding of the underpinnings of the corruption of Church structures.”

“Randy Engel has done a tremendous job at exposing one of the key components of this corruption. Her book is not for the faint of heart, but these are hard times and we cannot hide our heads in the sand,” he warns.

“I heartily recommend the widest possible distribution of this work. People may want to give it to their pastors or bishops for Christmas,” Rueda states.

Author Randy Engel says she is honored by Fr. Rueda’s endorsement of The Rite of Sodomy. “I owe a great debt to Fr. Rueda,” she says, “since it was his early pioneering documentary on the Homosexual Movement in the U.S. and abroad that served as a launching pad for my own investigative work.”

“Although Fr. Rueda’s book published by Devin Adair in 1982 was not specifically directed at the rise of the homosexual network in the Catholic Church,” Engel notes, “it nevertheless provided its Catholic readers with valuable insights into the nature, policies and strategies of the growing homosexual network within the bosom of the American Church (AmChurch) especially within its official bureaucratic structure, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference in Washington D.C.”

“For pro-life activists like myself,” says Engel, “Fr. Rueda’s identification of pro-homosexual cardinals and bishops within AmChurch was a real eye-opener.” “As it turns out, many of those prelates who were promoting the Homosexual Movement’s agenda in the Church in the 1970s and early 1980s were themselves homosexuals,” she notes.

“Had the Holy See acted upon the evidence of the Homosexual Movement’s hold on AmChurch documented by Fr. Rueda more than twenty-five years ago and cleaned house,” Engel concludes, “the current clerical sex abuse scandal would never have reached its present proportions.”
