Within months of his surprise election, Timothy John Mulrennan, now known as Pope Celestine VI, sends shockwaves throughout the church when he calls for a new ecumenical council, or gathering of the world's bishops - the first since the famous Vatican II in the 1960s. Like Good Pope John before him, this pope will strive to bring important, needed change to the Church he loves. A beautiful journalist who loves a priest...a powerful Irish cardinal who opposes the pope's call for a council...a South American business man who once served in a death squad...An American priest who is torn from his troubled parish to be part of the pope's dream...and a former FBI chief who must protect the life of the pontiff and four thousand bishops from around the world...together they are drawn into the maelstrom of power and passion that is COUNCIL.
