Vocation

About the Book

Vocation Fr. Jim Nolen became a priest to bring God to man and man up to God. He is an idealist. He is brought to reality when he is exposed to a grave moral disorder practiced by the hierarchy. Thus Fr. Nolen takes a moral position against the church, breaking his vow of obedience. His life is never the same. This is a rare look into an ever-so-human Catholic Church.
