The bevy of kitschy papal souvenirs include Pope-shaped car air fresheners, Pope-on-a-rope soap, Pope Scopes -- actually periscope-like cardboard boxes with reflectors that allow viewers to see above crowds -- and "Holey See" masks, which are cutouts of the papal visage complete with miter...
Cenci (David Wingrove) is a man fed up with the hypocrisies of the Renaissance Church, personified by Camillo (Roger Kaplan).

The maximum penalty for transmitting national defense information is life imprisonment...
