Product Description
In the aftermath of World War II, young Communist Hugo Ovath is given an intriguing assignment by party leaders: infiltrate the Catholic Church and work from within to undermine people's faith. To do this, he must become a priest. Since life in his small village in Eastern Europe seems to offer no other opportunities, Hugo agrees. Alas, he's far too successful in his newfound profession. His actions and writings quickly cause him to be noticed with admiration by church leaders. Rising to bishop, Hugo comes to resent the Communist Party's stranglehold, but it's too late to turn back. Some swearing and sexual details may offend certain readers, but this is a thought-provoking look at a man floundering between his own love of power and a new-found belief in God.
