''The Colour of Blood'', published in 1987, is a political thriller by Northern Irish-Canadian novelist Brian Moore about Stephen Bem, a Cardinal in an unnamed East European country who is in conflict with the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy and finds himself caught in the middle of an escalating revolution. ==Description== Clancy Sigal, wriitng in ''The New York Times'', described the novel as a study of faith under pressure. "Almost in thriller form, it is also a wise and illuminating meditation on the labyrinthine forces at work in a Roman Catholic Communist country like Poland (where Mr. Moore served with a United Nations relief group after the war)." According to critic Jo O'Donoghue, ''The Colour of Blood'' deals with the problem of how the modern Catholic Church "is to live in tandem with the secular authority". In her biography of Moore, Patricia Craig describes ''The Colour of Blood'' as a protest against intolerance, "with fanatical Catholicism presented as a destructive force. At the same time the Cardinal himself stands for another kind of Catholicism: moderate and incorruptible, and not unaccommodating of theological uncertainties".
