The story

The death of the previous Pope is followed by a conclave deadlocked for 25 days, until the Mafia's tame Cardinal Rocco persuades the College of Cardinals to elect in absentia the Mafia's favoured candidate, Albini (Janez Vajevec), whose absence Rocco passes off as him working tirelessly for environmental concerns. Fr. Rookie is hard of hearing and records the pope-elect as "Cardinal Albinizi".
