Bio

MICHAEL S. ROSE is author of two previous books: Ugly As Sin and The Renovation Manipulation. During the past seven years, while editor of St. Catherine Review, he has emerged as one of the freshest new voices in the Catholic world. As an investigative reporter and editorialist he has illuminated a number of highly controversial issues in contemporary Catholicism, most notably the scandal surrounding unpopular remodeling of older Catholic churches and cathedrals across the U.S. His articles, editorials, and essays have appeared in venues such as Wall Street Journal, Catholic World Report, New Oxford Review, Homiletic & Pastoral Review, Envoy, Adoremus Bulletin, National Catholic Register, The Wanderer, Lay Witness, A.D. 2000, Challenge, This Rock, and Catholic Dossier. Educated at Brown University and the University of Cincinnati, he is married with four children, and lives in Cincinnati. He is also the author of "Goodbye, Good Men" which exposed the homosexual culture in seminaries and of "Priest" including inspiring biographies of ten priests. His new book is on Pope Benedict XVI.
