Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author presents a lively and irreverent satire of the Franciscan order. Exploring the corruption and deceit of the friars, it exposes the hypocritical nature of their teachings and their relentless pursuit of wealth and power. The author crafts a vivid portrait of the friars' elaborate rituals, their false piety, and their exploitation of the poor and vulnerable. Through vivid prose and witty dialogue, this book uncovers the deep-rooted problems within the church and the clergy, criticizing the abuse of authority and the suppression of knowledge. The author's incisive observations on the human psyche provide valuable insights into the themes of greed, ambition, and the struggle for spiritual enlightenment. This book serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of critical thinking, honesty, and accountability in religious institutions.
