The Worlock archive
"Worlock on Cardinal Hume: 'My notes of that time say he was in a raging temper.'" "Worlock on birth control: 'It is scarcely the acid test.'" "Worlock on the future Pope Paul VI: '... one of the extreme leftist gentry like Montini ...'." "These quotes are from the candid personal papers of Archbishop Derek Worlock, the central figure in the story of the Catholic Church in England and Wales since the Second World War. The Worlock Archive is a retelling of the history of the man and of the Catholic Church in the light of these remarkable documents. It includes a unique set of unpublished papers covering the Catholic row over birth control in 1968, which put these events in an entirely new light, the secret 'Vatican II Diary' which Worlock kept from 1960 to 1965 (and under lock and key ever-since) and several extracts from Worlock's personal files in which he comments with devastating frankness on people he dealt with, some of them household names. Throughout, Clifford Longley provides the historical context and in-depth analysis to bring this fascinating material to life."--BOOK JACKET
