The Priest Who Left His Religion follows the life of an ordained of a Catholic priest, idealistically destined by his American family prophecy to be the first American Pope. Ordained in 1965 he quickly becomes caught up by the reversals of the Second Vatican Council which attempt to undo many of the liberalizing movements of the Church. Most importantly he is shocked by the Church's disavowal of scientific evidence in order to 'protect the faithful'. Shattered by his discovery of the Church's dishonesty, he experiences the torment of leaving the priesthood and the Church and embarks on a courageous struggle to make the shift from religion to spirituality. He comes to embrace a life in the world and a spirituality that confirms the union of science and spirit.
