This book is both a timeless piece exposing the hypocrisy of the catholic church and a timely piece in the midst of numerous recent scandals.

Recent news headlines tell us about:
1. bishops denying the sacrament of the eucharist to gay rights supporters
2. a bishop behaving most unchristian in a hit and run accident
3. clergy out of touch with the reality of birth control and abortion
4. scandalous sexual abuse cases
The list goes on.

The atheist priest isn't a part of any of that. On the contrary, the athiest priest behaves more christian than most who profess the faith. No, he IS more christian, not just behaves so!

While this book covers some controversial topics, it ultimately uplifts with the reader with reassurance that humanity and christianity will prevail, even though the current manifestation of the church and its version of christianity might not.

Bravo to the author Pierce! About time someone spoke of the priest scandal with boys in such an honest and provocative manner! It is rather amazing that the atheist priest was actually more christian than most christians are! It is a VERY good book! Filled with wisdom and raw courage! Bravo!!

Now, the Pope, Bishops and priests need to read it and learn from it!

Dr. Pierce has written in a wonderful way about provocative topics not often addressed. This book should be read, read again, and passed along to everyone...Especially the Pope and most Bishops. So very timely, too.
