The Young Pope

A young man who is a devout Catholic and hates coward and heretic prelates, wakes up and finds himself become a Pope in the past. Pope Benedict IX, the youngest Pope in history, criticized by historians and prelates of later times for his crimes and sexual lifestyle. "Thy Will be done, O LORD!" this is God's Will and he will bring the corrupted Papacy back to its track, which will affect greatly to later times. DISCLAIMER 1. One of the main tag, reincarnation, is only fictitious and does not belong to the Church's teachings. In fact, it is condemned as a heresy. 2. Bear in mind that Masses and liturgy in the novel was from the 11th century, which was nearly identical to the Tridentine Mass/Traditional Latin Mass before Vatican II, and quite different from the Novus Ordo created after Vatican II.
