«Ascensión al infierno» is the fiction novel by Andrew M. Greeley, published in 1984 by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (394 pages, in Spanish).
Hugh Donlon is a priest with a weak vocation, besieged by the temptations of the world and the pleasures of the flesh. His relationship with a progressive nun leads to a pregnancy; Hugh hangs up his habits and prospers in business. The corruption he observes around him makes him doubt whether his true path was the priesthood.
This novel, whose original title is Ascent Into Hell, is the second installment of the author's Passover series. Translation by Jordi Fibla.
For readers interested in the conflict between faith and desire, and in priestly characters far from the traditional archetype.
