- "'Behind the Mitre' is a disturbing, never-before-told story of religion tainted by politics and business, of divided loyalties. Tony Clarke recounts the fate of a controversial policy paper, 'Ethical Reflections on the Economic Crisis', issued in the early 1980s as a challenge to the government's social priorities. The church's internal fight over this radical manifesto makes for a troubling and fascinating story of palace intrigues, political deals and the uncomfortable overlap between church and state in Canada". -- back cover.
