Author Thomas John Vail’s debut novel, Rome’s Religious Quicksand: Do Heaven’s Guarantees Still Exist, is a compelling and timely work of Catholic fiction that blends family drama with theological depth, raising urgent questions about the state of modern Catholicism and the spiritual battles playing out behind closed doors.

The novel follows Tom Joseph, a successful salesman and devoted Catholic father, who returns home from a business trip only to find that his teenage son is questioning the very faith their family was built on. What begins as a father’s concern becomes a deep dive into modern Catholic confusion—spanning Eucharistic validity, Masonic infiltration, the Novus Ordo Mass, and the enduring power of relics, confession, and the rosary.

Through intimate family conversations, rich theological insights, and a plot that blends fiction with Catholic apologetics, Rome’s Religious Quicksand sheds light on a growing concern among traditional Catholics: that the sacred is being lost in a culture that mocks discipline and dilutes truth.

“This book is a personal mission,” says author Thomas John Vail, a retired salesman who wrote the novel as a way to pass on the spiritual wisdom he’s gathered over decades. “It’s not just a story—it’s a wake-up call for Catholic families and a defense of the faith I love.”

Rome’s Religious Quicksand speaks directly to parents, grandparents, and educators seeking to pass on a strong Catholic identity in a time of widespread confusion. It is especially relevant for readers interested in traditional Catholic values, apologetics, and cultural critique told through the lens of engaging fiction.

About the Author:

Thomas John Vail is a retired senior citizen who spent most of his life in sales of one form or another. He was never lucky enough to have children so he thought writing this book was another way of passing on a bit of the knowledge he collected in going through life. Also, the thought crossed his mind that it might help and benefit others to make their living easier and most importantly make it to heaven when they passed on.
