Even if you haven't heard of Jason Berry, you are probably aware of his work: "Vows of Silence: The Abuse of Power in the Papacy of John Paul II" has Spanish, Australian and Italian editions.

A documentary based on the book won a Best TV Documentary Award.

The Vatican expert and award-winning journalist will speak on "Pope Francis and the Church: "Confronting Sexual and Financial Scandal," at 7:30 p.m., April 3, at Guilford College. The discussion will take place at the Community Center on campus.

His remarks come at the first year anniversary for Pope Francis.

The event is free and open to the public.

Berry produces documentaries and writes on culture and politics for many publications.

He received a 2001 Guggenheim Fellowship for research on jazz funerals and a 1992 Alicia Patterson Journalism Fellowship for reporting on Louisiana demagogues. His play, “Earl Long in Purgatory,” won a 2002 Big Easy award for Best Original Work in Theatre.
