Reading Calvary | Alexandria
Read Calvary by Octave Mirbeau. Confronting religious hypocrisy through a priest's murder reveals Mirbeau's radical critique of institutional faith. His shocking tale of a clergyman killed by his own parishioner exposes how blind devotion breeds violence - a warning that resonates amid today's culture wars. The twist? The victim's Christ-like acceptance of his fate suggests true spirituality exists outside organized religion.
