  • "Participant à la fois de l'anticipation à court terme (vers la fin du XXe siècle) et de la politique-fiction (le Pape a dû abdiquer à la suite d'une révélation de la fin des temps), ce seizième roman de l'écrivain australien conserve un ton plausible. Par ailleurs, pas plus que chez Graham Greene à qui on l'a souvent comparé, il n'y a d'emphase religieuse ou d'esquisses ou d'esquives moralisantes, quoique le sujet s'y prête. Le message inhérent joue non par autorité (d'auteurs) mais par influence (provenant du for intérieur du lecteur). Réflexif."
  • "De paus wordt gedwongen tot aftreden, omdat hij weigert een door hem ontvangen visioen over het einde der tijden openbaar te maken."

  • "Suddenly a reigning Pope resigns his office."@en
  • "In a futuristic setting of nuclear holocaust threats and big-power standoffs, the Pope, Gregory XVII, abdicates under duress. The Curia, the governing body of cardinals, convinced of Gregory's insanity when he proclaims his knowledge, through personal relation, of the Second Coming of Christ, relegate him to the Benedictine monastery of Monte Cassino."@en
  • "In the near future Pope Gregory XVII is forced to abdicate after claiming to have received a private revelation of the end of the world."
  • "After the reigning Pope, Gregory XVII, claims to have received a private revelation, the Cardinals declare he must resign or be declared insane and whether Gregory is a mystic, a lunatic, or an ambitious fanatic remains in question."
  • "The author creates a character of immense charismatic appeal, a pope who announces the second coming of Jesus Christ."
