The Clowns of God by Morris West
A Pope's Prophecy, a World in Crisis. Jean Marie Barette, Pope Gregory XVII, announces a prophecy so alarming it threatens to tear the Vatican apart. Terrified, the Vatican cardinals imprison him in a monastery. Is he mad, as they believe, or is it all an elaborate plot?An old friend of the pope, Carl Mendelius, sets out on a risky quest to find out the truth behind the Pope's prophecy and the Vatican's actions. On the way, he discovers the power of love and faith, while terrorists and politicians use every deadly and unholy means to stop him.
For readers of religious thrillers and suspenseful tales of faith tested by power, The Clowns of God explores the battle between institutional control and individual conviction in a world on the brink.
