Ambeth Ocampo's "Looking Back" upped the ante on the Pope's liberating lifestyle by writing about a Vatican legend about a Pope Joan ca. 9th-11th century who was the original Yentl of cross-dressing females. Later in 1541, a wealthy widow Isabel Roser was a religious groupie of Ignatius Loyola. After papal intercession, Isabel, her lady-in-waiting, and another friend became Jesuitas. However, her nephews sued the Jesuits for their lost inheritance. Isabel ultimately entered a Franciscan convent in Jerusalem till her death.
Mediation has such fascinating storylines, too. Always, though, greed, self-absorption, and questionable motives rear their ugly heads.
