She learns about Jesus and the meaning of his Passion, visits important new places such as The Sistine Chapel, where she seems to pray beside the Pope, and the Roman Colosseum, where she learns that many early Christians were martyrs for their faith. Margarets friends, the Swiss Guards, are watching over her, and she manages to eat (she still loves to eat ) some interesting foods, even though its Holy Week. Oh yes, and she sleeps a lot.About the authorJon M. Sweeneys popular history, The Pope Who Quit: A True Medieval Tale of Mystery, Death, and Salvation, has been optioned by HBO.
