Crux Ansata: An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church, by H. G. Wells. When most people think of the great H. G. Wells what comes to mind are his science fiction books like The War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man & others. Yet Wells was a brilliant man who was deeply interested in history & current events. He wrote this book at the height of World War II, just after he had resigned as Minister of Allied Propaganda. While in this position he became privy to information that totally shocked him concerning the Roman Catholic Church. Much of what he found in this book After it was released a loud protest was issued from the Roman Catholic press accusing Wells, a respected writer & researcher, of spreading half-truths innuendoes & logical fallacies. Wells responded by saying that the church routinely engages in a complex, modern boycott of liberal thought that requires us to fight this intolerance with our own intolerance of the Roman Catholic system. This book has been swept under the rug of history, for the most part, because Wells was a famous person who openly & vocally questioned the status quo.
