Habemus Papam

Bells ring out, white smoke rises, cheers ring out across St Peter’s Square – yet Cardinal Melville is overcome with dread: is he to become the new Pope? Even the psychologist summoned in haste is at a loss – and so he slips away in secret … What does it mean to be unequal to a task? Moretti contrasts the Vatican’s strict procedures with a personal crisis, striking a touching balance between irony and seriousness.
