None of the ecclesiastical characters in this story are drawnfrom life but they do represent the attitudes and feelings that exist in the inner circles of Catholic power. Thus the car- dinals of Chicago---Sean Cronin in my world and Joseph Bernardin in God's world--are both admirable men but very different men. The former is not based on the latter. And vice versa. My story is not a roman h clef.
With the exception of Chicago, most of the cities to whichI have assigned cardinals are not cardinalatial sees, so that no one can claim that my cardinals are drawn from life.Recently, Pope John~ Paul II made some changes in the rules
for a Papal election. The electors will continue to vote in the Sistine Chapel but will not live in the Sistine Palace but in "St. Martha's House," a new and motel-like residence with modern "conveniences" on the other side of St. Peter'snear the Audience Hall. Moreover--catching up withBishop Blackie--he imposed stern controls to frustrate elec-tronic eavesdropping.
