When You Transmigrate to Other Times

"The world is full of mystery. I've heard that all my life and it seems to be true. But if I go through something mysterious myself, will I be believed? Maybe I'll think I'm crazy, or everything that happens to me in my everyday life is just something I'm dreaming and soon I'll wake up. Questions without answers..." Everything changes after he returns from a pilgrimage to a miraculous statue of the Holy Virgin Mary, when he becomes the victim of a plane accident in which, with no hope left, he prays alongside the other passengers, gives his final blessing, and then... And then what? He wakes up on a bench. Where exactly? Right in the heart of the most important square in the world, in Rome, caput mundi, as the Latins used to say. What is he doing there? He remembered the airplane accident, but he also had other memories. How did he get here, what year is it? He was at the Vatican, but still... Is it the year 1492?!

Chapter LXXII: A New Ally and Hidden Fears  

During the dinner, after the Pope proposed a toast in my honor and for the future of the Church that I hope to change with my help, various discussions began about the reforms that should be implemented for the beautification and spiritual enrichment of the Church, so I came up with some ideas.

"Holy Father, Your Eminences, I would like to say something as well. I believe the Church should become closer to the people. You cannot realize from your golden palaces how many people suffer in the hovels of Rome..." I said to everyone's surprise.

"Father Antonio, I think we should let the state take care of these things. You know, the Church deals with the spiritual side of people, not the material one," said one of the cardinals in a harsh voice.

"Eminence, then I recommend that all cardinals and bishops live in monasteries, not palaces. After all, if we only care for the soul, what need do our bodies have?" I replied somewhat boldly.
