About The Author	Colm O'Gorman founded the charity One in Four to support women and men who have experienced sexual violence. Prior to that he worked as a therapist in private practice in London. He is a former Senator of the Irish Parliament and is now Executive Director of Amnesty International Ireland. In 1998 he sued the Roman Catholic Church over its systematic cover-ups of child abuse scandals involving its priests, and won. He lives in County Wexford with his family.
	I doubt you will read a more moving memoir this year than Beyond Belief…Parts of his beautifully written book will reduce the reader to tears, especially his description of his relationship with his father. It is this story – so typical of the dysfunctional communications some Irish fathers had with their sons a generation ago – that forms the other pillar upon which this valuable tome rests. His final paragraphs on forgiveness are pure poetry and deeply moving.
Other text	Abused by his priest. Betrayed by his church. This is the story of the boy who sued the Pope.
