Opis

A psychological novel of international intrique where in the near future, a secret organization plots to take over the Roman Catholic Church and through it the whole world. The Pope is totally unaware of the existence of this organization. A priest, the pastor of an inner city ghetto parish in Chicago, gets caught up in the organization's plot. With the help of his friends Celine and Gene, Father Joseph Daniels (Danny to his friends) works to expose the plot and members of Viri Lucis (Men of Light) as he plumbs the depths of his own soul: his hopes and doubts, his dreams and frustrations, his loves and disillusionments. And all the while the secret organization grows stronger while Danny's friend and mentor, Pope John Paul IV remains in the dark about the impending assault on the Vatican. "The main metaphor," the author said, "is the contrast between practicing one's religion and living one's faith.
