The Vicar of Christ
Walter F. Murphy
This book is an unusual, fascinating and well-written observation of the life of a man
who was first a war hero and Medal of honor winner from the Korean War,
then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, thirdly a monk, and finally
elected Pope. His overly exciting life is described by three men who
'knew him well.' The first narrator is a Marine, telling of their time
together in Korea. A constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice
appalled at the new Chief Justice, narrates the second phase. The third
is a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church; fat, kind but distracted.
The Marine cares for him the most, the Supreme Court Justice condescends
and despises him, and the Cardinal is much more interested in food than
his subject. But Declan Walsh was a man who earned the Medal of Honor
while ordering the death of his best friend, ruled pragmatically and
energetically on the Court but lost his wife to death and neglect, and
became a miraculous healer, assassinated for challenging the powers that
rule the secular world.
