Book about a man becoming a priest?

Looking for it for a friend - she can't remember the title, but err, that's what it was about.... cheers x

Total guess - The Thorn Birds, by Colleen McCullough? Not my kind of stuff at all, but there's something of that nature in it.

Other than that, try and get your mate to be just a bit more specific. Period, country, that kind of thing.

I did and - "England...Err not so long ago - last 20 years!" was the answer....

Something by Susan Howatch perhaps from her Church of England series ?
Was it factual or fictional ?

Father Frank by Paul Burke?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Father-Frank-Paul-Burk e/dp/0340793457

Father Frank is a Catholic Priest who doesn't believe in God! He sort of falls into the Priesthood as a career. He drives an old London Taxi and then meets a girl..................

Excellent book.
