The Thirteenth Apostle by Michel Benot
A captivating and thoroughly researched religious thriller comparable to Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. Written by religious scholar and unordained monk Michel Benoit.
He presents a picture of endemic corruption within institutional Catholicism that stretches from a murderous Saint Peter at the very start of its history down to a villainous Cardinal Catzinger in the 21st century* The Independent *
Religious scholar and novelist Michel Benoît was born in Madagascar in 1940 (then a French colony). In 1962, having studied Biochemistry under Nobel Prize winner Jacques Monod and obtained a PhD in Pharmacology, he entered the Benedectine order as an unordained monk, remaining there for twenty-two years. Because of his ideological non-conformity, he eventually quit the Catholic Church and decided to devote himself to research and writing.
