Plot

Taught to Believe the Unbelievable tells the story of how Sister Jane Kelly contested Church leadersÂ’ efforts to shield the sexual and fiscal misconduct of its priests. Rather than collude in their cover-up, she went to the press, at great risk to her reputation and her relationship to the Church she had served for fifty-five years. When newspaper headlines at last broke the news, Sister JaneÂ’s role in her community was changed forever.Sister JaneÂ’s courageous actions, recounted here, reveal how this crisis of faith ultimately became an opportunity to revitalize the ChurchÂ’s most fundamental spiritual teachings. In Taught to Believe the Unbelievable, her amazing story reminds every reader, regardless of their faith, that the call of oneÂ’s own heart and conscience supersedes all externally imposed authority.
