Former Catholic Priest Spills the Beans

Former Catholic Priest M.P. Burns has just published three books. One tells his own story in fictionalised novel form. The second is also a novel, the subject of which is the relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalen, very topical in view of the Da Vinci Code. The third is a down to earth look at the Catholic Church, showing exciting possibilities for the future, in spite of present problems.

Bridlington, England, UK (PRWEB) April 15, 2006 -- Former Catholic Priest, M.P. Burns, opens the door and a few windows too, on what makes and unmakes a Catholic Priest. He pulls no punches, giving a no holds barred account of the rise and fall of one priest in a highly readable fictionalized, though autobiographical account of his own life as a priest.

At the same time, very topically in view of the interest roused by Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, he has published a novel which deals with the life of Jesus, and his love relationship with Mary Magdalen.

To round things off, a third work frankly examines the state of the Catholic Church today, and makes a strong plea for radical renewal which could transform the Church into a mighty power for good in the world today.

About Author: M.P. Burns entered a Catholic Junior Seminary at the age of eleven, and for the next twenty five years went through the process that made him a Catholic Priest. Ordained priest at the age of twenty three, he studied theology in Rome, then taught in the Seminary and worked in a busy parish, with some television broadcasting and evangelical preaching. At the age of thirty six, circumstances compelled him to reassess his life, a process which led him to leave the priesthood. He now lives with his wife Sandra and daughter Sarah in the seaside town of Bridlington, England.
