Pope! by Louis Zambrana
The crass and sometimes volatile Pope Zamorano I is dead, and now the conclave to select a new pope begins in Vatican City, Rome. The righteous Cardinal Lawrence Byrd is selected to oversee the conclave of mostly unholy Cardinals with high school-aged maturity levels who are constantly stabbing each other in the backs or playing childish pranks on one another. Cardinal Abebe of Africa, who is in the minority of good Cardinals like Cardinal Byrd, has hopes of becoming the first black pope, while Cardinal Tortellini of Italy wants the church to maintain the tradition of Italian popes. Join the wild cast of wacky Cardinals like Cardinal Stubblefield, the first Cardinal from Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, and Sister Roberta, the nun who speaks loudly and carries weapons in her nun’s habit. Pope! is full of irreverence and supernatural surprises that will keep you laughing until the final vote!
