Sommario/riassunto |
|
A former Vatican insider unveils the mystery shrouding the ritual, process and politics of papal election. The author takes us into the secret conclave, where the electors are kept under lock and key, incommunicado, until they have selected a new pope. Here, we find a chronicle of political intrigue set in the context of ritual. |
