The Clerics

The Dark Side of Righteousness

By: Edward Dreyfus

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Three lifelong friends in their seventies, Johnny, Billy, and Eddie, have dedicated their lives to serving as men of the cloth in Los Angeles. Each representing a different religious denomination—a priest, a minister, and a rabbi—they have spent decades guiding their congregants toward righteousness and compassion. However, their faith is about to be tested in ways they never imagined.

Frustrated by their wealthy congregants who have amassed their fortunes through questionable means, the trio is tired of fruitlessly imploring them to be more generous to the less fortunate members of their community. As their desperation deepens, Johnny, Billy, and Eddie find themselves at a crossroads and make a bold decision to take extraordinary action that will force them to confront their own dark sides.

The Clerics is a gripping, thought-provoking tale of friendship, faith, and the moral dilemmas that arise when well-intentioned individuals are confronted with the harsh realities of a morally ambiguous world. This story will challenge readers to reflect on the choices they make and the lengths they are willing to go to make a difference.
