Description

As Pope Hadrian VII, Rolf proves his intelligence, his stubbornness and his eccentricity as the most unworldy Pope in centuries – a Pope who scourges the Cardinals of the Church for their vanity and hypocrisy, who scorns privilege and ceremony and smokes hand rolled cigarettes on the Papal throne, and who sells the treasures of the Vatican to help ease the misery of the world’s poor.
