Product Description
God’s Devil is the story of Peter Donavan, a Catholic priest, whose consuming ambition is to become the first American Pope. In pursuit of that goal he lets nothing stand in his way.
Some will see Peter Donavan as an evil man, a man willing to commit murder, abortion, blackmail, and condone arson to achieve his goal. They will view him as a danger to the survival of the Catholic Church, a man who would destroy its culture, its doctrines, and its institutions.
Others will see Peter as their surrogate, a liberal voice for change, change necessary to bring the Church into the 21st century and make it a moral force against social sins that threaten the world’s health, peace and prosperity.
Regardless of how you view Peter Donavan, you will find God’s Devil a gripping story about a complex man whose ideas and actions provoke ambivalence and consternation with the turn of every page. The first five words of the story provide an insight into Peter’s character: “Peter, I’m pregnant,” she whispers.
