He
slipped
his
hand
into
the
pocket
of
his
robe
and
fingered
the
small
,
golden
lighter
he
had
brought
with
him
from
the
Pallium
incendiario
.
He
whispered
a
verse
from
Judgments
.
And
when
the
flame
went
up
toward
heaven
,
the
angel
of
the
Lord
ascended
in
the
flame
.
He
positioned
his
thumb
.
They
were
singing
in
St
.
Peter
’
s
Square
…
The
vision
the
world
witnessed
no
one
would
ever
forget
.
High
above
on
the
balcony
,
like
a
soul
tearing
free
of
its
corporeal
restrains
,
a
luminous
pyre
of
flame
erupted
from
the
camerlegno
’
s
center
.
The
fire
shot
upward
,
engulfing
his
entire
body
instantly
.
He
did
not
scream
.
He
raised
his
arms
over
his
head
and
looked
toward
heaven
.
The
conflagration
roared
around
him
,
entirely
shrouding
his
body
in
a
column
of
light
.
It
raged
for
what
seemed
like
an
eternity
,
the
whole
world
bearing
witness
.
The
light
flared
brighter
and
brighter
.
Then
,
gradually
,
the
flames
dissipated
.
The
camerlegno
was
gone
.
Whether
he
had
collapsed
behind
the
balustrade
or
evaporated
into
thin
air
was
impossible
to
tell
All
that
was
left
was
a
cloud
of
smoke
spiraling
skyward
over
Vatican
City
.
Dawn
came
late
to
Rome
.
An
early
rainstorm
had
washed
the
crowds
from
St
.
Peter
’
s
Square
.
The
media
stayed
on
,
huddling
under
umbrellas
and
in
vans
,
commentating
on
the
evening
’
s
events
.
Across
the
world
,
churches
overflowed
.
It
was
a
time
of
reflection
and
discussion
…
in
all
religions
.
Questions
abounded
,
and
yet
the
answers
seemed
only
to
bring
deeper
questions
.
Thus
far
,
the
Vatican
had
remained
silent
,
issuing
no
statement
whatsoever
.
Deep
in
the
Vatican
Grottoes
,
Cardinal
Mortati
knelt
alone
before
the
open
sarcophagus
.
He
reached
in
and
closed
the
old
man
’
s
blackened
mouth
.
His
Holiness
looked
peaceful
now
.
In
quiet
repose
for
eternity
.
