Review # 1 was written on 2008-12-29 00:00:00 David Yarowsky De Rosa gives a fictionalized account at what would happen at the death of Pope John Paul II. This book was published in 1997, before the death of Pope John Paul II, so it's especially interesting to read now what De Rosa thought would be. In his story Islamic Fundamentalists play a huge role in the world and the Catholic Church struggles with issues such as celibacy/marriage and usury interest/banking. The Pope who succeeded John Paul II didn't meet anyone's expectations completely. Reading this book, I felt that De Rosa was a sincere Catholic Christian who acknowledged the foibles of his church's ways. Very funny and insightful book.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-29 00:00:00 Krzysztof Rekas Outrageous This is an unbelievable satire on the papacy. There are plenty of situations that could be looked at as being not believable. But then what do you expect from a former priest. The author really "socks it to the Vatican" by this book. I had to laugh at some of the situations that Pope Patrick he's himself into. I do not recommend this book to a practicing Catholic. If the reader has no problems with any situation in this book, then I recommend this book. Beware of the laugh meter as you read this outrageous book. Enjoy.
