Berniéres, Louis de : The Troublesome Offspring of Cardinal Guzman

  • description
  • additional information
Cardinal Guzman is not the best guy around, not even by normal person standards. And the man is a Cardinal! So as you might expect, Cardinal Guzman has a lot of repressed guilt and a bit of self loathing lurking around his subconscious. Because he's not an inherently evil man or anything. And the self loathing starts to manifest itself in the form of demonic appearances and extreme stomach cramps. The Cardinal cannot go on this way, and isn't improving in spite of the tender ministrations of his mistress (oops!) or the affections of his illegitimate son (double oops!). So the cardinal decides that drastic action is the only way to save his soul. Cardinal Guzman means well, but upon collecting data relating to the state of Catholicism in the nation, the Cardinal is deeply disturbed. Reports came thick and fast about the bastardisation of the Catholic faith, with tales of renegade priests preaching free love, happiness, and a guilt-free existence. The Cardinal sends out a man of the church to right the wrongs of the peasants. Cochadebajo de los Gatos is right where de Berniéres left it in The War For Don Emmanuel's Nether Parts and Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord, and all our old favourites are still there. However, Cardinal Guzman's crusade is a threat to how they live their lives, and even their lives themselves. When the village becomes aware of the threat to their existence, drastic action must be taken to protect themselves...
