Produktinformationen zu „The Ugly Priest (ePub)“
When a young priest makes some bad choices, it becomes a blight on his vocation that follows him all his life. Father Bernard made some bad choices. Jennifer was one. Helen, another, although Helen began as an innocent mistake that got out of hand. After twenty years as an assistant pastor at Immaculate Conception Church on the west side of Chicago, Father Bernards vocation has deteriorated, not only because of his moral lapses but also from its lack of substance and value. His duties have become tedious and distressing; the sin, dying, dishonesty, and infidelity drains him. Deepening his distress is his life at a rundown, disintegrating parish, with an outdated liturgy and a pastor, Father McElroy, who is a rude, spiteful, and offensive old man. His attempt to save himself from his cheerless, desolate life leads him down a dangerous path, one that puts him in direct conflict with his vocation. Can he salvage his failing vocation and repair his troubled soul? Can he find the strength to restore the spiritual meaning and substance that once guided him as a priest?
Autoren-Porträt von Richard Stickann
This is Richard Stickanns fourth book. His Catholic upbringing sparked the need to write novels that illustrate the impact religion has on people. His two previous novels - Glory Be To the Father, the Son... (2001), and Hobbledehoy Boy (2013) show how a strict religious upbringing can stunt the social growth of a person, particularly young boys. This book, Ugly Priest, looks at the other side of the religious spectrum , the priest, and the religious implications of a weak vocation and troubled soul. Stickann also published Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives: The American Story, (2016) a historical account of a familys westward migration, coauthored with Catherine Reasor Stickann. Stickann lives with his wife in Missouri, where they raise alpacas and enjoy the tranquility of country life.
