		Neil Horan was born in 1947, in Scartaglen, County Kerry, in the Republic of Ireland and was ordained a Catholic Priest in 1973.

		In addition to the two books he has written, both of which are available from Deunant Books, Neil has decided to publish this work which gives an insight into the man who is Neil Horan, his beliefs and the reaction of the Catholic Church and other institutions to those beliefs.
		Whether the Catholic establishment is reacting wholly to Neil's beliefs is debatable - after all, he has been unswerving in those beliefs for a decade or more - as the actions now being proposed follow, with almost unseemly haste, his unscheduled appearance on TV sets around the world.
		It is included here because the conclusions drawn from the research carried out by the author bear comparison with those arrived at in Father Neil Horan´s works dealing with Biblical prophecy; the similarity is striking despite being arrived at from a wholly different direction.

		The Horan theory of the Second Coming is quite simple: Christ will rule the world from Jerusalem and there will be two classes of people: "Immortal Saints" who will rule a World Government for 1,000 years from Jerusalem; and "Mortal Citizens" who will become "adopted Jews" and live for a mere 900 years.
		Father Horan also performs a "peace dance" he did so outside the BBC not long ago and has now written to the Prime Minister again.
