    Summary

    The first apostolic exhortation of the new papacy.

    Lawrence has laboured, these last few weeks, under the impression that their argument during the conclave represented the regrettable but necessary lancing of a boil, from which his and Bellini’s friendship had made a remarkable recovery. He is at a loss to comprehend how he could have misjudged the situation so catastrophically.

    Summary

    Aldo rolls his eyes, annoyance genuine this time. “Oh, for God’s sakes. The worst thing we ever did was teach children they have rights.”

    “You don’t mean that,” Thomas says patiently.

    “I do,” Aldo insists darkly. “Freedom of expression does not mean you have the right to scrawl ‘skibidi toilet’ all over the third floor bathroom.”

    *******

    The ancient and venerable St Peter's School for Boys elects a surprise new headmaster, and Aldo reaches heights of stress headache never before experienced by mortal man.

    Summary

    "We have held hands. Yesterday, after Compline, he kissed me. There has not been anything else.”

    “Kissed you?”

    Thomas studiously tips his head upward, avoiding all eye contact. “Yes. Not for very long.”

    “Was it any good?”

    Aldo!”

    “Worth a shot.” Aldo grins. “You could get some real money with his admirers, you know. There’s a lot of young women out there wanting to know how the prettiest Pope to ever grace the See might kiss.”

    “Well.” With a certain primness Thomas folds his hands together. “I’m afraid they would have to go through me first.”

    Oh, John, Aldo thinks. Beloved, beloved.

    Summary

    October 2021 to December 2022. A difficult transition from the life of Cardinal Benítez to the one of Pope Innocent. Featuring more than one stupid idea, nerves of steel, bills, ads, Whatsapp messages and luckily, all those that Vincent can always rely on.

    Title inspired by that scene from Julia Haenni's "bodybild! [and now i‘m gonna roll myself in glitter and roll down that hill wie eine nuss im herbst]".

    Summary

    It took two weeks for the new pope to reinstate Janusz Wožniak as his chief of staff. In fact, Sister Agnes had to tell him about it ahead of time - hoping, presumably, that if he knew his position was safe maybe he'd stop sweating about it so much.
