Summary
It took two weeks for the new pope to reinstate Janusz Wožniak as his chief of staff. In fact, Sister Agnes had to tell him about it ahead of time - hoping, presumably, that if he knew his position was safe maybe he'd stop sweating about it so much.

Summary
As Cardinal-Deacon, Thomas Lawrence is the papal confessor.
He does not wish for it to be anyone else. This is but one of the reasons he retains his post. He misses the late Holy Father still, but Innocentius XIV is someone he cannot stop himself from serving. He feels, sometimes, as though he has been waiting for this man his whole life. He no longer speaks of resignation, but feels buoyed with spiritual energy, empowered by the Pope’s most divine leadership, by a life full of worship.
It is almost amusing, then, to hear the little sins of the Universal Church’s Supreme Pontiff.

Summary
The pontiff looked at the cardinal beside him. His gaze held all the solemnity of a man turned infallible vessel and all the wistfulness of a lonely child. “You are my closest friend, Thomas. Would you please take my confession?”
“Of course, should you have sin to confess.”
In the first year of Pope Innocent XIV's papacy, Thomas Lawrence and Vincent Benitez struggle to negotiate duty and desire.

Summary
Mozart, not unlike his music, elicited a spectrum of reactions on Salieri. The voice of God couldn't even imagine the depth of his control on Salieri's soul. It was infuriating and charming, and he was getting tired of fighting against desire.

Summary
Lawrence is considering the benefits of leaving the room to go throw up somewhere when Vincent finally speaks.
“I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he says, his voice even and calm, brown eyes sparkling.
Lawrence nods, slightly hysterical. “You wouldn’t?” He asks hopefully. Good, okay. Vincent agrees. All that’s here is friendship. Simple, easy, proper. Appropriate. Friendship.
“No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”
