The Morning The Pope Disappeared: Extracts from The Pope's Secret Diaries

By: unknown author

The characters in this book are purely fictional. Any similarities between them and real individuals are purely coincidental.Having written that, the author has to confess astonishment at just how many coincidences there have actually been. The book took five years to write and gave voice to a Pope who abdicated - something which hadn't happened for six hundred years and wasn't likely to happen for another 600, and yet Pope Benedict decided to resign on Feb. 28th 2013 as the book was going to press. And then unbelievably the new Pope chose the never-before-chosen anti-establishment name of Francis, the name chosen five years beforehand by the hero of this book. Will the coincidences finish there?The author is almost certain neither Pope Benedict's action nor the decision of Pope Francis were inspired by this work. It is a case of Reality imitating Art. And in this case we are talking about Art Pendennis, the avant garde Pope of The Morning The Pope Disappeared. Pope Francis has grown out of his faith and decides the best thing to do is just disappear. The Vatican gives chase. The Pope scrambles across Italy in disguise helped by a young Lebanese lady named Sheba who also helps him metamorphose back into a normal person. A light-hearted semi-philosophical, semi-erotic tale of our times.
