From the bestselling author of The Trial of Roger Stone

MILO YIANNOPOULOS HAS EXPERIENCED THE MORAL DECAY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH FIRST-HAND. NOW HE WANTS TO FIX IT—STARTING WITH POPE FRANCIS.

Who is the real Pope Francis? And can the Church survive him? Milo Yiannopoulos traces the origins of the Church’s descent into sin and shame, pointing the finger at left-wing reformers, trendy progressive bishops, gay clergy, and ultimately, Francis himself. In DIABOLICAL, Milo Yiannopoulos levels his critical eye and legendarily caustic wit at the Catholic Church, an institution he reveres but which, under the leadership of a “Lavender Mafia” of left-wing gay bishops, has become shambolic and depraved. Yes, there really is a gay mafia. And yes, their outfits are fabulous.

The Catholic Church hasn’t had a crisis like this since the Reformation. It won’t survive unless it learns how to talk to men again, sets aside transitory political nostrums like environmentalism and identity politics, and gets back to worshiping Almighty God.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"If you thought he was dangerous on campus, just wait until you meet him in Church."
-- Monica Crowley, columnist and New York Times bestselling author

"A blunt, funny, searing, and accurate depiction of the failed papacy of Francis."
-- Leon J. Podles, author of Sacrilege: Sexual Abuse in the Catholic Church

"Milo's readers won't be scandalized by his devilish attacks on identity politics and its victim tropes. These are signatures of his comedic and literary wit. But like me they may be surprised to learn that his disdain for leftist materialism is based on faith in God and love for His (un)holy Church. In Diabolical, Milo turns his wrath on the social justice infiltrators of the Catholic leadership, and especially on the chief culprit among them, Pope Francis, the Pretender. Incendiary."
-- Michael Rectenwald, New York University
"Nothing ought to be too sacred to be investigated and given the Veritas and Lux treatment. Who better to document and expose abuses in the Catholic Church than Milo?"-- James O'Keefe

"We've seen Milo the troll, the stand-up comedian, the political operative and the snappy dresser. This is Milo the scholar and Catholic. It's his best incarnation yet."
-- Roger Stone
"He might prove almost as dangerous as he wants us to think he is."
-- Vox.com

"I don't know whether to punch Milo or kiss him. At least he got nailed by a priest, which puts him in the express line to Heaven."
-- SABO

"I stopped believing in God years ago. Milo's book has me questioning my lack of faith, because it proves the Devil exists."
-- Mike Cernovich

"A powerful testament from a courageous warrior, whom the left has done everything it can to silence--and failed."
-- David Horowitz

"There is no little irony in a gay icon calling out the Vicar of Christ for the wickedness of the Church. But as it is written, the Lord works in mysterious ways."
-- Vox Day

John Walker

Impassioned Plea for Restoring the Roman Catholic Church

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

Milo Yiannopoulos has a well-deserved and hard-earned reputation as a controversialist, inciter of outrage, and offender of all the right people. His acid wit and mockery of those amply deserving it causes some to dismiss what he says when he's deadly serious about something, as he is in this impassioned book about the deep corruption in the Roman Catholic church and its seeming abandonment of its historic mission as a bastion of the Christian values which made the West the West. It is an earnest plea for a new religious revival, from the bottom up, to rid the Church of its ageing, social justice indoctrinated hierarchy which, if not entirely homosexual, has tolerated widespread infiltration of the priesthood by sexually active homosexual men who have indulged their attraction to underage (but almost always post-pubescent) boys, and has been complicit in covering up these scandals and allowing egregious offenders to escape discipline and continue their predatory behaviour for many years.

Ever since emerging as a public figure, Yiannopoulos has had a target on his back. A young, handsome (he may prefer “fabulous”), literate, well-spoken, quick-witted, funny, flaming homosexual, Roman Catholic, libertarian-conservative, pro-Brexit, pro-Trump, prolific author and speaker who can fill auditoriums on college campuses and simultaneously entertain and educate his audiences, willing to debate the most vociferous of opponents, and who has the slaver Left's number and is aware of their vulnerability just at what they imagined was the moment of triumph, is the stuff of nightmares to those who count on ignorant legions of dim followers capable of little more than chanting rhyming slogans and littering. He had to be silenced, and to a large extent, he has been. But, like the Terminator, he's back, and he's aiming higher: for the Vatican.

It was a remarkable judo throw the slavers and their media accomplices on the left and “respectable right” used to rid themselves of this turbulent pest. The virtuosos of victimology managed to use the author's having been a victim of clerical sexual abuse, and spoken candidly about it, to effectively de-platform, de-monetise, disemploy, and silence him in the public sphere by proclaiming him a defender of pædophilia (which has nothing to do with the phenomenon he was discussing and of which he was a victim: homosexual exploitation of post-pubescent boys).

The author devotes a chapter to his personal experience and how it paralleled that of others. At the same time, he draws a distinction between what happened to him and the rampant homosexuality in some seminaries and serial abuse by prelates in positions of authority and its being condoned and covered up by the hierarchy. He traces the blame all the way to the current Pope, whose collectivist and social justice credentials were apparent to everybody before his selection. Regrettably, he concludes, Catholics must simply wait for the Pope to die or retire, while laying the ground for a revival and restoration of the faith which will drive the choice of his successor.

Other chapters discuss the corrosive influence of so-called “feminism” on the Church and how it has corrupted what was once a manly warrior creed that rolled back the scourge of Islam when it threatened civilisation in Europe and is needed now more than ever after politicians seemingly bent on societal suicide have opened the gates to the invaders; how utterly useless and clueless the legacy media are in covering anything relating to religion (a New York Times reporter asked First Things editor Fr Richard John Neuhaus what he made of the fact that the newly elected pope was “also” going to be named the bishop of Rome); and how the rejection and collapse of Christianity as a pillar of the West risks its replacement with race as the central identity of the culture.

The final chapter quotes Chesterton (from Heretics , 1905),

“Everything else in the modern world is of Christian origin, even everything that seems most anti-Christian. The French Revolution is of Christian origin. The newspaper is of Christian origin. The anarchists are of Christian origin. Physical science is of Christian origin. The attack on Christianity is of Christian origin. There is one thing, and one thing only, in existence at the present day which can in any sense accurately be said to be of pagan origin, and that is Christianity.”

Much more is at stake than one sect (albeit the largest) of Christianity. The infiltration, subversion, and overt attacks on the Roman Catholic church are an assault upon an institution which has been central to Western civilisation for two millennia. If it falls, and it is falling, in large part due to self-inflicted wounds, the forces of darkness will be coming for the smaller targets next. Whatever your religion, or whether you have one or not, collapse of one of the three pillars of our cultural identity is something to worry about and work to prevent. In the author's words, “What few on the political Right have grasped is that the most important component in this trifecta isn't capitalism, or even democracy, but Christianity.” With all three under assault from all sides, this book makes an eloquent argument to secular free marketeers and champions of consensual government not to ignore the cultural substrate which allowed both to emerge and flourish.

Milo at his best

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2019

Verified Purchase

Diabolical sets the tone of a Church that’s rightly paying the price for its sinister deeds which are many but most blatantly includes covering up the evil of child sexual abuse that brewed within it’s holy sanctuaries. Under the precarious leadership of a Pope who’s more interested in pushing a leftist agenda than in the salvation of souls we get a Church badly in need of a transformation. Perhaps another Great Reformation is in order. How much did Pope Francis know and when did he know it and how much support and coverup did he receive from his inner circle of cardinals and bishops? The answers aren’t pretty, in fact they’re quite Diabolical.

Abounding with a plethora of facts which are supported with an abundance of footnotes, Milo occasionally breaks up the seriousness with his dry British wit and sarcasm. I needed it to get me through to the the last page. Upon closing the book I made it out battered and bruised by a Church I once loved. And as I contemplate about what was written what stands out to me above all else is Milo’s love of God and, surprisingly, for the Church and his desire to see the Church reclaim it’s place as the one true faith as he calls on the flock to hold the Church leaders accountable. He gives his opinion on how this might happen but I ask, is it too late? With the man Francis most likely remaining at the head of the Church for several more years, in my not so humble opinion, the answer is a resounding yes. But as a believer I also have to reclaim my faith that with God, all things are possible. I pray, “God renew my faith and feed my spirit with Your wisdom”.

This is Milo at his best. Thank You God for Milo.

Not My Real Name

Milo has finally started writing about something other than himself

Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019

Verified Purchase

Having purchased both Frederic Martel's "In the Closet of the Vatican" and Milo's much shorter book, I sifted through both. Martel writes from the perspective that Church teaching itself is outdated, and that those who hold to it are in denial about their own natures, and rather than preach tradition ought to just be honest and authentic about who they really are and get on with modernization and the theory that we really are all the same and no one is 'better' than another. This ideology appears convincing superficially, but its girding assumptions ignore the possibility that God really does exist and that He is capable of reforming even our deepest faults.

Milo takes an unusually bold stance in his book. He does not take Martel's perspective. Rather, he attempts to show (thought with inferior scholarship but whose motives do bring a smile to the reader), that there really is a homosexual problem in the Vatican, and that the problem is homosexuality. Martel says the problem is dishonesty, and that 80% of the Vatican is gay, and the conservatives ought to just admit they are too and just practice discreetly too. But Milo believes that homosexuality really is a problem.

This was an unusual perspective, I thought, for someone who is homosexual, married to a man, and very often exploits these facts to provoke and incense his opposition on the left. Ben Shapiro denounces Milo as someone who stands for nothing except arousing controversy, and who would have been a pawn of the left's had they been the true ideological victim they paint themselves as. When I read "Dangerous", there was so much self-adulation I couldn't take it. The constant references to his own choices, the comparisons between himself and others, and ubiquitous narcissism were just too much and eclipsed his treatment of the topics he allegedly set out to cover.

But in this book, Milo seems to care a little about something other than causing offense. His questions and perspective are not the mirror image of Martel's, and do not end at denouncing the left. But they are a call to reform the right, to set things back the way they ought to be. Even if he doesn't go into much detail about that, and given his admissions perhaps this is beyond his reach for now, he makes the effort to side with the belief that things could be better, and ought to.

Milo also in typical Milo fashion does not shy away from calling a spade a spade, and asking questions I do not hear the clergy talking about. His language is crisp and sharp, and does not beat about the bush in order to fill out paragraphs or convince others that he is an author par excellence.

He is also thirsty for Church reform and for something more than an organization that exists to make people feel good about not feeling so good about life, the universe, and everything. All in all, this is a book I can finish, and one which I am for the time being, keeping in my library. I wish Milo would seek God, because He is capable of transforming our greatest faults into goodnesses if we give Him a chance and leave or beliefs about what is right and wrong behind. There are things that are far better than the Good which we presupposed exists, and things that are harmful for us and not just blind opinion or primordial fear of thunder and rain and death and darkness. But this call to repentance is a call to all of us, including myself, who am burdened with many sins. May God have mercy on us, and deliver us from evil.

Essential Read: at times poignant always funny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

I commend the author for being able to talk about such a dark topic in a way which is both sensitive and incredibly humorous so that readers can empathise and understand victims of sexual abuse whilst retaining a sense of hope and optimism that survivors can emerge from the ashes and take their rightful place in the world, fearless and invincible

Open your eyes fellow Catholics

Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

As a Catholic, I am not happy with our current Pope. He expends far too much effort trying to influence the secular world. He does so from a neoMarxist position.

His job is to save souls, not lecture the US on the ‘benefits’ of his postmodern leftist ideas.

This brilliant little book, by an expert in homosexuality, demonstrates the influence of homosexual Bishops and Cardinals, their protection of themselves and the parish Priests around them against the secular authorities that we Catholics are meant to think have solutions for all in all things here on earth.

The hypocrisy reeks.

Whatever you think about the author is probably wrong. What is certain is that he is intelligent, funny, and insightful.

Brave and well written

Reviewed in India on February 27, 2020

As a fellow sexual abuse survivor ( not by a catholic priest) and fellow catholic, thank you Milo for this book. It's an eye opener. The sad state of catholic sex scandals are not only in west but also in Asia especially India. This book gives a message , don't leave jesus because of Judas. I also think it's incredibly brave for Milo as a sexual abuse survivor and tell the unsympathetic media because I couldn't even dare to tell it to my mother as I am filled with shame and embarrassment. May Jesus bless you

Erg goed

Reviewed in the Netherlands on February 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

Yiannopoulos heeft duidelijk veel research gedaan naar dit onderwerp, en voegt daar zijn eigen unieke perspectief aan toe: een oprecht katholieke, getrouwde homoseksuele journalist. Ik volg de schrijver al een tijdje, dwz ook zijn lezingen e.d. en heb veel bewondering voor zijn moed. Hij noemt namen, noemt beestjes bij de naam, en gaat de mogelijke gevaren die dat voor zijn leven oplevert niet uit de weg. Het is dan ook niet gek dat hij altijd met beveiligers op pad moet. In zijn eerste boek Dangerous - ook erg goed - zie je meer over het leven dat hij leidt en de strijd die hij voert voor vrijheid van meningsuiting, ook als je conservatieve standpunten hebt.

Nu hij in dit boek een onderwerp als misbruik in de katholieke kerk bij de lurven heeft gepakt, heeft hij er denk ik weer een nieuwe groep vijanden bij. Het boek is niet te lang en er zit een enorme lijst bronvermeldingen bij. Het heeft gemaakt dat ik een van die bronnen, een boek dat hij noemt, ook heb opgeduikeld en gekocht.

Yiannopoulos' schrijfstijl is precies zoals hij praat, en terwijl ik het las hoorde ik dan ook zijn stem in mijn hoofd. Daar wordt het nog een betere leeservaring door.

Je moet natuurlijk wel engels kunnen lezen, want bij mijn weten is het nog niet vertaald.

Incredible expose.

Reviewed in Australia on March 25, 2020

Possibly his greatest work (so far). Whether you're an Roman Catholic, a strident atheist, or some boring in-betweener, this is a must-read. As eloquent as it is biting, Milo unravels God's rep-on-earth through a delightful use of analogy, cold facts, and witty anecdotes. British writing at its finest.
