I will go against the current, and contrary to the established tradition, I convince Barb to save herself - Deus ex machina!

I have little left to praise that already hasn't been expressed. It is a superb story. Nail the finish, Barb, and you will have a classic. I cannot tell where you are taking it - a good sign of your fine writing. It occurs that if Barbara is saved, she would make a fine alter girl, serving as handmaiden to the new and illustrious Pope.
It is also good to see the narration serving to dispel earlier doubts about the remarkable qualities of the Cardinal Bishop. Those who previously questioned his motives and attention to duty should feel a bit embarrassed. What a hero! What an outstanding, saintly man! What a spectacular tactician! What an unselfish and giving person! What a wise and learned father of the Church! What a ... Well, you all know I could go on much further and it would be most deserved. But I don't want to repeat the obvious about this holy, brilliant, kind, strong, handsome, wise, honorable, etc., etc., etc., (not to mention, modest!) man!

Vanity is a deadly sin, also called a cardinal sin, and on this occasion, a cardinal bishop sin!
Sett, you just outdid yourself.
Geeze! As my grandma was fond of saying, “Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.”

Barb has been saved from crucifixion more that once, though that is with modern era medicine. Back in those days doctors were more likely to kill you than save you...

How’s he going to be pope if he can’t fit his massive swollen cranium through the doors of Saint Peter’s?

Don't be so greedy. Greed is a sin.
I am sure that in a few days she will have trouble again from which she will not get out alive...

Seems like we should be running a sweepstake on whether @Barbaria1 will survive her own story….
Though such a bet would be vastly open to corruption, this would only make it more appropriate for the theme and setting!

For such an astute writer your ability to read between the whiplash lines is fairly poor, sir. That last evening when he. “Comforted” Barb there was Moore happening than was written… I mean, it’s obvious really - they’d been rudely interrupted in the discovery scene, by the genuine saintly man… Obviously when given the opportunity to spend the night with a beaten, humiliated, tortured Barbara of Mohr- of course he had his way with her… several times no doubt. He’s clearly just a sleaze bag who’s good at covering his tracks….
He’ll be on the crux soon enough, if there’s any justice!

Well then I’ll put €10 on “yes”! I think there will be a bloody miracle, and a great wailing and gnashing of teeth, and behold, the multitudes shall be cast upon their faces, and all shall worship Saint Barbara the Tumescent
