dr. farley and john, we appreciate your time. >>> next on "nbc10 @issue" we talk about a new book about a gay priest. you might be surprised what else the author does when he's not writing books. >>> the black wall of silence is how one philadelphia priest describes the perception of the catholic church and the response to the clergy sex abuse scandal. it's the title of a new novel by father paul morrissey. rosemary connors interviewed father morrissey about the books. she joans us from the nbc10 digital operation center. >> father morrissey may be very well the least likely person to speak out on the sex abuse scandal in the church. his book describes the struggle between honesty and loyalty. he tells me he doesn't want to open old wounds. he wants to heal them. for 50 years, father paul morrissey has been preaching the message of the catholic church. his parish is st. augusta in old city philadelphia where the faithful listen closely to his words of wisdom. now he hopes to reach more people with the novel he's written called "the black wall of silence." >> the cover shows a priest with
