	David France, Author of 'Our Fathers: the Secret Life of the Catholic Church in the Age of Scandal,' to Speak at Rutgers on Aftermath of Church Crisis; Lecture, Book Signing and Reception Set at Rutgers Student Center By Steve Manas Rutgers [New Jersey] March 12, 2007 http://urwebsrv.rutgers.edu/medrel/viewArticle.html?ArticleID=5654 New Brunswick, NJ — David France, author of "Our Fathers: The Secret Life of the Catholic Church in the Age of Scandal (Broadway Books, 2005)," will present "The People and the Church: Five Years Later" at the Rutgers Student Center, 126 College Ave., Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Tuesday, March 20 at 8 p.m. The free public program, an in-depth look at the fallout from the pedophilia scandal that rocked the Church in 2002, will be held in the Multipurpose Room. It will include a reception and book signing following the lecture. A team of Boston Globe reporters broke news of the pedophilia scandal and the alleged involvement of priests in Greater Boston, and eventually other parts of the country, in early 2002. It was estimated that perhaps 100,000 children had been molested by clergymen. At the time, France was the senior investigative editor at Newsweek and covered the crisis. His book, based on hundreds of interviews, private correspondence, unpublished scientific probes, secret Vatican documents and tens of thousands of pages of court records, traces the scandal's roots. He takes readers back to the Catholic Church of the 1950s, a time of relative innocence, to search for answers. This event is sponsored by Rutgers College Student Development and College Affairs, the Office of the Dean of Rutgers College and the Office of the Vice President for Undergraduate Education.
