   Summary

   
   Aldo Bellini is not complaining about the fact that he can now kiss Thomas Lawrence in public, although his mixed feelings of guilt and desire still torment him day and night.
   
   The problem is that the photo on the newspaper's front page shows Bellini kissing another cardinal.
