Curious Religious Custom Guides Papal Fate in Rome
A fragment discusses a New Year ritual of monks called the Minims, where a Saint is drawn to be the year’s patron. It notes the present Pope belonged to that order and had long favored a Jesuit leader who died this year. Some see the episode as a manipulation to push the Jesuits’ cause while Spain pressures the Pope to crush the order.
