    Summary

    In the early moments following their new Holy Father's election, several longtime staffers of the Holy See began to realize Fr. Benítez came to them with nothing more than the clothes on his back and what little he could stuff into his worn, leather travel satchel.

    The pontificate of Innocent VIX begins not with parades and pageantry but with generosity, quiet, and friendship. Vincent has borne the weight of the world on his shoulders for decades, the least his brother Cardinals can do is shoulder it with him.

    Summary

    Moments after Benitez’s election - gathered in the Room of Tears, our dear Dean comes to learn Vincent’s secret - the clinic in Geneva was for a D & C procedure and hysterectomy -Vincent never went and instead - gave birth to a son.

    In which, Cardinal Lawrence accidentally becomes Uncle Tomás and Luca delights in the number of priests and nuns he encounters - for the 18-month-old - the Vatican feels like the mission to Kabul in many ways. (Very big fan of nuns and shoes and the turtles in the garden.)

    Summary

    In semi-retirement, an American and Englishman make their home in the Italian countryside. A crisis of faith becomes an abiding love, and Thomas finds belonging at Aldo’s side. The noisy anxiety that threatened to consume Aldo is quieted as he realizes perhaps - he is just as God has made him and the love he feels for Thomas is a divine gift.

    What surprises them however is a frantic phone call from Raymond O’Malley and the Holy Father showing up unannounced at their door eighteen months later.

    Fr. Vincent knows deep in his bones- from lived experience and ministry alike - that there are survivors of sexual assault everywhere. But he never expected to be in the position of women and girls he ministered to - to be pregnant and now giving birth.

    In secrecy, Vincent Benitez gives birth alone in his apartment above his parish - St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Kabul. Set before the events of the Conclave film.

    Summary

    "I have become friends with suffering, and it has allowed me to realize, that while it is unlikely my cancer will be cured in this realm of existence, it is not a death sentence either. For all the time I wasted worrying about dying, I forgot that time is a precious thing and I will not waste my life whilst I have breath.” Thomas said in a melancholy tone.

     

    Thomas and Aldo share a morning at the cancer clinic before duty calls and papal shenanigans ensue requiring their attention.
