    Summary

    Goffredo Tedesco doesn't do graduate students, Americans, or flings with tourists. Aldo Bellini swore he wouldn't fall in love over a semester abroad. After a night out in Rome, suddenly everything is different.

    Maybe one summer of shared cigarettes would be enough. Maybe it would have to be.

    Summary

    As Cardinal-Deacon, Thomas Lawrence is the papal confessor.

    He does not wish for it to be anyone else. This is but one of the reasons he retains his post. He misses the late Holy Father still, but Innocentius XIV is someone he cannot stop himself from serving. He feels, sometimes, as though he has been waiting for this man his whole life. He no longer speaks of resignation, but feels buoyed with spiritual energy, empowered by the Pope’s most divine leadership, by a life full of worship.

    It is almost amusing, then, to hear the little sins of the Universal Church’s Supreme Pontiff.
