Sacred Betrayals : A widow raises her voice against the corruption of the Francis papacy: A widow raises her voice against the corruption of the Francis papacy

For almost forty years, Honduran ambassador Alejandro Valladares was among the closest friends of the man who would become Pope Francis' "vice pope," Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga. In this important work, Valladares' widowed spouse reveals the troubling web of financial and moral corruption that she uncovered 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. In this important work, Martha Alegria Reichmann de Valladares reveals the naked impunity and abuses committed by Maradiaga under the protection of the pope himself, and cries out for justice. No concerned Catholic can ignore her testimony.
