Aringarosa
had
entered
Gandolfo
’
s
Astronomy
Library
with
his
head
held
high
,
fully
expecting
to
be
lauded
by
throngs
of
welcoming
hands
,
all
eager
to
pat
him
on
the
back
for
his
superior
work
representing
Catholicism
in
America
.
But
only
three
people
were
present
.
The
Vatican
secretariat
.
Obese
.
Dour
.
Two
high
-
ranking
Italian
cardinals
.
Sanctimonious
.
Smug
.
«
Secretariat
?
»
Aringarosa
said
,
puzzled
.
The
rotund
overseer
of
legal
affairs
shook
Aringarosa
’
s
hand
and
motioned
to
the
chair
opposite
him
.
«
Please
,
make
yourself
comfortable
.
»
Aringarosa
sat
,
sensing
something
was
wrong
.
«
I
am
not
skilled
in
small
talk
,
Bishop
,
»
the
secretariat
said
,
»
so
let
me
be
direct
about
the
reason
for
your
visit
.
»
«
Please
.
Speak
openly
.
»
Aringarosa
glanced
at
the
two
cardinals
,
who
seemed
to
be
measuring
him
with
self
-
righteous
anticipation
.
«
As
you
are
well
aware
,
»
the
secretariat
said
,
»
His
Holiness
and
others
in
Rome
have
been
concerned
lately
with
the
political
fallout
from
Opus
Dei
’
s
more
controversial
practices
.
»
Aringarosa
felt
himself
bristle
instantly
.
He
already
had
been
through
this
on
numerous
occasions
with
the
new
pontiff
,
who
,
to
Aringarosa
’
s
great
dismay
,
had
turned
out
to
be
a
distressingly
fervent
voice
for
liberal
change
in
the
Church
.
«
I
want
to
assure
you
,
»
the
secretariat
added
quickly
,
»
that
His
Holiness
does
not
seek
to
change
anything
about
the
way
you
run
your
ministry
.
»
I
should
hope
not
!
»
Then
why
am
I
here
?
»
The
enormous
man
sighed
.
