On the eve of his 40th birthday, a man decides to end his life. He tells us that 40 is “a point of passage… when maturity begins to decline toward old age. I wanted to be off while I was still thirty-nine, if only technically.” He chooses to drown himself up in the mountains where a sealed lake that “doesn’t communicate with the outside” will ensure his body vanishes without a trace. As he sits on the lip of a well connected to the lake, though, debating the quality of Spanish brandy, he realises his body won’t let him die. Hours later, he finds himself walking back to the village, only to discover that everyone he knows is missing. As the days pass, as he widens his search, including the bustling (and fictional) city of Chrysopolis, now empty and silent, the man comes to realise that he is the last person left alive.

ROME IS WITHOUT a pope. The thesis that I intend to support can be summarized in these five words. When I say Rome, I am not referring only to the city of which the pope is the bishop. When I say Rome, I mean the world; I mean the present reality.
The pope, although physically present, in reality is not there, because he does not do what the pope does. He is there, but he does not perform his duty as successor of Peter and vicar of Christ. There is Jorge Mario Bergoglio; there is not Peter.
Who is the pope? The definitions, depending on whether one wants to highlight the historical, theological, or pastoral aspect, may be different. But, essentially, the pope is the successor of Peter. And what tasks were assigned by Jesus to the apostle Peter? One the one hand, “Feed my sheep” (Jn 21:17); on the other hand, “Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” (Mt 16:19).

Several things kept me sane over the last 12 months. My family, the privilege of having a job while in lockdown, the
Backlisted and
Coode Street podcasts (particularly
Coode Street‘s “10 minutes with” series), and the books I read. Yes, there were times in 2020 where I struggled to read more than a handful of pages, but the novels, novellas, and collections I did complete (47 of which I reviewed for
Locus) were some of the best books I’ve read in the last decade.
My favourite work of 2020, the book I know I will return to again and again until the pages are dog-eared and the spine has cracked, is Robert Shearman’s three-volume, 1,700-page, magnum opus
