Behind the Bronze Doors
About the Author
The author spent several years in Rome and has firsthand experience of ecclesiastical and theological affairs. All those experiences were enriching and informing.
His life’s career starts at the onset of the Great Depression and spans many generations of wars and dictatorships that seemingly never end. Brutality gets recycled on schedule every generation. Man is not kind to mankind.
The author believes that appeasement with evil is no strategy for freedom and justice, it is a sinkhole into suicide. Force must be met with force, or it will annihilate incessantly and irrevocably. Evil has no conscience, and without conscience there is no law and there is no God.
The current novel is one of three. Two more are in the making. They will constitute a trilogy. Paul Taunton will remain the protagonist in all three. He will attempt to lead the reader out of a complacent relationship with the antithetical cultures that pervade everything, even Christianity, and devastate the human mind and this earthly planet.

About the book
It was 1960 in Rome. Pope John XXIII was just named Pope and a Council was coming. Change was the buzz word. The push was on to bring the Medieval ecclesiastical edifice in line with the fast evolving world. Latin was archaic and so was chastity. Church morality was outdated.
A Council all seemed plausible until three clerics showed up and hammered away at its fallacies. They called its validity crowd pleasing.
Paul Taunton, a cleric from the States, leads a cast of clerics in a refutation of a Council to nowhere. He gives a sterling performance as a young priest who argues the truth brilliantly with the Master’s words.
A reporter named Margot Dubois from the French journal Le Monde joins the fray and brings three Prophets’ voices into the resisting halls of the Vatican. It all happens backstage behind the big Bronze Doors.
