Monsieur de Saligny was found in a card-room of a gambling palace and secret opium den, knelt in supplication, the bloody stump where his head should have been bowed forward and resting on the floor.

But the Church has also had moments throughout history when it has been in tune with Jesus' teachings—from the rise of charity to the invention of hospitals. John Dickson gives an honest account of the mixed history of Christianity, the evil and the good.
