‘Fallen Order’ is the previously untold account of the first child sex scandal in the history of the Catholic Church. In 1621 the Piarist Order was founded to house & educate the poor children of Rome. These schools flourished and spread throughout Catholic Europe. Yet in 1646 the order was abruptly abolished by the pope amid rumours of a great scandal…seems as though not much has changed over the centuries…

David Yallop’s revelations detail a miasma of criminal activities which have lead to bribery, blackmail and on more than one occasion, to murder. It is Yallop’s conviction that murder was the fate of Pope John Paul I, Albino Luciani, and he presents his evidence in this book. A classic.
