Santo Santo (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961879188)

The Reverend Oliver Francis Walby (O. F Walby) was in the forefront of religio-sexual innovation. His notorious Naked Mass, performed at the Episcopal Church of Saint Henry the Eighth in Hollywood, attracted free-spirited worshipers. But when it was discovered that the audience/participants included underage girls, the District Attorney as well as his Bishop were forced to take action. Rev. Walby, accompanied by his close companion, Elliot Spenseric (scion of a once wealthy Beverly Hills family), must flee to the South American country of El Santo. Once in the high Andean country the holy gentleman lapses into a state of semi- narcolepsy. His affairs must be managed by Elliot, who keeps his eyes on the prize of spreading Walby's doctrine of "Che-su", a politico-theological philosophy that combines Jesus' love for the masses with Che Guevara's call for armed rebellion. With the evanescent Walby in tow, Elliot sets out on a comic pilgrimage to make contact with the "true revolutionaries" of FARS (Frente Armado de la Revolucion Santense) and its charismatic leader, La Mama.
