Interesting, Ann.

Would people follow?</blockquote> It would give much relief to many, to be sure. It would provoke riots, as well. It would be a revolution. This would be wonderful, but it is impossible. You see, there is too much human pride in this organisation to dare a thing like that. And then - the Pope would have to go. Where would he go? Where would those thousands priests and nuns go?

There were supposed to be 2 prequels and then a epilogue. Still waiting for that last one. I heard somewhere that LaHaye was done contributing after the 12th book was written-- and that Jenkins has been writing the prequels.

Is there enough respect for the new pope for that kind of switch over? Hundreds of years of tradition are hard to buck. I loved the Left Behind series, until the last few books when it just seemed like they were elongating the story beyond necessary...I did read it all though, who could resist! I'm glad to know about "The Rising"...I'll keep my eyes open for it at the library. Ha. Is there enough respect for the new pope for that kind of switch over?
