Reseña del editor

Monsignor Shamus McKenna begins as a narrow-minded bureaucrat in Vatican service. The Pope commissions him to study natural law as it pertains to women. His quest for the truth brings him to explore options that he never considered before. He discovers Amrutha and meets extraordinary women who invariably push his boundaries of propriety. At every point his determination to follow natural law leads him into more murky and untested waters of sex, morality, heroism, and women's lives. "Engaging and endearing. I wept a good half-dozen times . . . Tongue-in-cheek humor brought me spontaneous laughter. This work is a cross between Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code and Don Johnson's The Harrad Experiment" - Dr Aaron Milavec, Vice-Principal Catherine of Siena College, Cincinnati Ohio. "Vivid scenes, haunting images, gripping action. And underneath, the ever puzzling question: what is that mysterious Law of Nature that Popes invoke to ban condoms, condemn gays and downgrade women" - Elisabeth Price, correspondent of Catholics for a Changing Church "This is a lively and action-packed book. Despite - or perhaps because of - its polemical intent, the story succeeds in holding the reader's interest throughout. Altogether, an enjoyable and thought-provoking read" -Dr Pat Anne Pinsent, Senior Research Fellow, Roehampton University, London www.thepopesman.com
