The Papal Visitor

by Sean Patrick Brennan

Overview

A spiritual adventure story like no other, The Papal Visitor expertly answers the question, "What would happen if Heaven just revealed itself to Earth once and for all?" Travel from Heaven and Hell to New York, Rome, Moscow, London, Maui, and all across the planet as the truth spreads and the shocking ramifications unfold. All eyes are on the pope, who seems to be getting some bad advice from a most unholy source.Excerpt: Halfway across the large room, he was stopped as the man appeared before him from thin air. "I'm not here to hurt you," he said. "I come with tidings of great joy." Mustering all the energy he could, he created a circle of light around himself. As the pope fell to his knees and bowed before him, the visitor smiled. This will be easier than I thought. "Stand, Your Holiness," he said, helping the pope to his feet. The pontiff looked into the eyes of the being before him, the halo of light now dimming quickly. The man was dressed in a slick, dark blue suit with a stripe of black running down the middle of each side. A thin red tie knotted perfectly capped the bright white dress shirt, and his eyes were-friendly. The pope was in awe of his visitor, but scared, too. "Pope Thomas, God needs your help. We all do. Change is coming to Planet Earth, and you are going to help us win the hearts of many." "Of course," the pontiff told him with a smile. "I'll do whatever God requires of me." "That's a good boy," the visitor said softly. "We will be bringing more change to Earth in the days and weeks ahead than you can even imagine, but we're going to need your help to get our message out to the people. This planet has fallen into wickedness, Your Holiness, and it will be your job to bring the faithful back in line. The Bible has long been forgotten and misused, and we need you to help people see how much truth there is waiting to be rediscovered. Will you help us, Thomas?" The pope smiled earnestly and nodded, and then shook the open hand offered him by the visitor. There was no way he could have known he was making a deal with Hell, no hint to the kinds of evil the pope would soon bring to the world in God's holy name.

About the Author

Sean Patrick Brennan was raised Roman Catholic, and grew up as an altar boy at his local church, just three blocks from his house. It was there when he was 11 years old that he heard Mother Teresa speak about vocations. Ten years later, Sean joined a local monastery, where he lived for four years under the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. After leaving the religious life, he blended in with the world at large, but always had a profound yearning to connect with all things spiritual. He's since written dozens of articles and posts on spiritual topics, as well as a handful of religious fiction books. The Papal Visitor is Sean's second published book.

A proud graduate of Manhattan College with a degree in both Theology and English Literature, Sean has also been a Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol Deputy, a producer, and a GLBT activist on a local, national, and international level. He and his partner Andy live in Malverne, New York.
