It's a chilling thought that this may be the final century. The evidence is without question: leading scientists have spelled out the danger time and time again. World leaders hold meetings and talk about it. (recently in Montreal) We're all in it together. That in itself is frightening because the threat from global warming can only be solved if we the people, and all world leaders, act together. There has never before, in the long history of humankind, been such an emergency. Our future is in our own hands. Fossil fuels - oil, coal and natural gas - have got to go: otherwise, the human race will become extinct in horrific circumstances.

The future of the Church rests on the decision of one man. Pope Pius X111 is dying. A kindly but uninspiring man, elected by default, he left the running of the Church to Secretary of State, Cardinal Enrico Manzu. Manzu is secretly fronting a gigantic money laundering scam – with people outside the Vatican - through IOR accounts with a Swiss bank. When the pope dies the Zurich bank accounts will be frozen. Manzu will have to get a new Pope who will – unwittingly – sign a Power of Attorney, which will enable him to carry on business as usual. The Church is no longer in crisis, it's in terminal decline. Cardinal Angelo Crosoli of Florence, old and ill, is conscious of the necessity of getting a truly Christian Pope if the Church is to be saved. He knows who he wants, but can he do it?
