The Pope Who Came Next

It is incredible how this all happened, because by 2051 the United States had fourteen years earlier, had ceased to exist, with its Presidents becoming part of history and indeed folklore. Yet against all odds which were massively stacked against him, America's second to last President, Jeremiah Abrahams, who had spent eight years living as a monk in South Africa was elected Supreme Pontiff. Even more amazingly this happened after the 30 year reign of Pope James I, who was universally regarded as the most saintly Bishop Rome had had for over a thousand years. Now all of James' painstaking achievements began to unravel, and central to all this wasn't Pope Paul VIII, the name Abrahams had adopted, but a certain Cardinal Archbishop Joseph Christopher!
