Vatican on a Roman Holiday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684663484)

Believe right, live right!

Vatican on a Roman Holiday is about the Christian view of spirituality, theological philosophy and the purpose and meaning of life. It is a layman's guide to the core of Christ's teaching. It challenges the Vatican on key doctrinal issues and church practices that have rendered the vast multitude of Catholics across geographies in bondage to the sin-punishment model preached by almost all known religions.

In spite of being financially endowed, the Vatican is squandering its plentiful resources on mere pomp and rituals, like the Sanhedrin, rather than fostering faith in Christ. The book exposes the dereliction by the Vatican when it comes to the healing ministry. There is no evidence of it on the ground and so the Vatican surreptitiously denies the poor, the needy and the homebound a vital and free spiritual resource, namely the Holy Spirit.

The book blasts the sacrament of confession as a cruel joke played on Catholics for centuries, hoodwinking them into believing that their fate does not look great without confessing to a priest. The book also decodes the last book of the Bible, Revelation, which is one of the most complex books in the scriptures. But many write it off as a flight of fancy. The Vatican has done precious little to explain its compelling message.

While the scriptural content is authentic, the book weaves a simple but striking fictional backstory to unravel the ultimate ascension of the laity as the ones who will hold the clergy accountable and not vice versa which the Vatican has been doing for centuries. The book clearly spells out how the world we now see will end and what comes after that. It is a book that explains and enlightens in an easy-to-read conversational style.

"The chapter titles in the first part of my book are quotes from George Michael's Jesus to a child. I hope that in some measure it keeps his memory alive because in more ways than one George stood against the tide and survived." - Christopher Fernandes
