Vatican Wealth, And a Pope's Pipe Dreams

Vatican Wealth and a Pope’s Pipe Dreams is light-hearted, witty and provocative, and at other times complex as the subject matter itself. In Pipe Dreams, Getz is brilliant in the way he compels the reader to enter the dialogue as if you are there while decisions of the world are discussed. The book opens with Archbishop Gutiérrez standing before the microphones of an international press corps where he announces to the world what Vatican insiders have come to call the pope’s pipe dreams. As he listens to the broadcast, the world seems to stand still for a weary Russian negotiator living in Moscow. Viktor Fiderev has waited a lifetime to bring peace to the world, and he wants to be the first to sign on. The Pope assembles an international team led by a South American archbishop whose key members include the atheistic Russian, an Argentinian agnostic and a Catholic laywoman from South Africa. The novel concludes with a twist as unpredictable as it is wise.
