His mother, a devout Catholic, prayed before wooden crucifixes. She told him the only path to heaven was on his knees, seeking selfish favors. His father, an atheist, burned his mother's crucifixes in the stove. He told him the only path to heaven was on his feet, helping others. Under his father's guidance, he grew up free of prejudices peddled by religion. He reasoned atheists have a greater chance of salvation than do the faithful. He wondered how faith had come about. When his father placed him in a seminary to bring change to the church, he traced the evolution of Christianity from the Neanderthal to Jesus. Here, the reincarnated Albino Luciani-in the voice of a fun and entertaining ten-year-old boy-traces the evolution of Christianity from the Neanderthal to those who wrote of Jesus. Each prophet building on the creativity of those who came before him. | Confessions of a Murdered Pope by Lucien Gregoire, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
