He apostatized from Christian faith leaving the Roman Catholic priesthood a self-decreed rationalist, atheist and materialist becoming a speaker of freethought, one of the most inexhaustible rationalist writers of the 20th century, his first pamphlet on his experiences appearing under the title From Rome to Rationalism, published in 1897, which has been lengthened into his first book volume Twelve years in a Monastery (1897.)
