  Summary

  Cardinal Thomas Lawrence was just starting to feel right about his place in the world again- until worries of his cancer coming back started to creep in.

  He reflects on his relationship with the church and with his closest friend Aldo Bellini through their years together and apart,
  and it may have prompted him to say something that he shouldn't have.
