Query: An engaging read

A fine novel, now somewhat dated after a quarter century, about Declan Walsh's journey from soldier to Supreme Court chief justice to monk to Pope. Told as narrations, being told to a reporter who is a minor character in the novel. The Korea sequence and the Papal portion (especially the retelling of the Papal election) are the best parts--time has passed by the court portion. The epilogue is very good as well.
