About this listen

Dive into the wild, sacred, and scandalous 2,000-year saga of the Catholic Church with The Keys of Heaven and the Sins of Earth by Dustin Gross—a brutally honest history that pulls no punches. From catacombs to cathedrals, this book uncovers the Church’s greatest hits and darkest misses: saintly heroes like Oscar Romero, power-hungry popes plotting like mob bosses, and earth-shaking controversies from the Crusades to modern abuse scandals. With wit and wisdom, Gross reveals how an institution claiming divine roots wrestles with very human flaws—greed, violence, and secrecy—while still shaping art, law, and faith worldwide.

Perfect for skeptics, believers, and history buffs, this gripping listen blends dark comedy with deep insight, asking: Can a Church be both holy and flawed? Discover the miracles, martyrs, and mayhem that make Catholicism a paradox worth pondering. Grab your holy water (or whiskey) and join the journey through a faith that’s as maddening as it is miraculous.
