You are as handsome as Jesus, but you are not actually Jesus. Voiello: Holy Father, you are as handsome as Jesus, but you are not actually Jesus.
Like Whatever everyone wanted him to be that day, he was. It's almost like he was a fair weather Cardinal. To whatever might make him feel better that day. But that seems to have been a farce just like everything in Lenny's life. It was interesting to learn the Lenny might have been a nice guy when he was a Cardinal. And what better way to inflict fear in someone than to threaten to take away their power. He wants to rule by fear, not tolerance, just like he told Spencer. Lenny just wanted to know what he already knew. I doubt that Lenny would have really deposed of him. Voiello is so caught up in his own struggle for power, he's too dumb to realize Lenny is several steps ahead of him. Voiello didn't make any headway this hour as he almost lost his job.ĭoes Voiello even wonder how Lenny gets his information? He didn't even seem surprised when Lenny brought up his resignation which the Cardinals had discussed with him. I was praying so hard I nearly shit my pants. I glued my ass to my chair so not to make a mess. Especially little kids.Īnd Lenny is nothing more than a child trying to find his way. We all know that children get mad at their parents all the time, some for longer periods than others, but most eventually come around to forgiving their parents for whatever their parents did. Spencer needed to get over it, but it was too little too late.Īt least for now. Lenny had forgiven Spencer, but when Lenny visited him at his invitation, he didn't expect his mentor to continue his outrage. He didn't expect the nastiness to continue, but it did. This is a guy he looked to as a surrogate father. We give God wings.īut Spencer had been too mean too many times, and Lenny wasn't having any of his apologies. The older priest was able to convince Spencer to let go of his bitterness for the good of the Church. It wasn't until the Elder Cardinal Catalanssetta and Voiello visited that he finally decided to help Lenny. That's why she keeps going to Spencer for help even though he keeps rejecting the idea of it. She knows she cannot influence him alone. Somehow Sister Mary thinks she can manipulate Lenny like she did when he was a child, but it's not working as easily as it did when he was a malleable child. His "spiritual" parents Sister Mary and Spencer know this too.
If you wanted to be serious, you could say that Lenny is a reflection of us all as we too have crises of faith. However you look at it, The Young Pope is open to much interpretation. 0&((window.And there's certainly plenty of tongue in cheek and sarcastic moments throughout.
