Lenny plans to lead the revival of conservative Christianity, despite the efforts of Spencer and Voiello. Lenny forces Voiello to admit that the liberals in the College of Cardinals did not allow the election of Conservative Spencer, which led to an agreement between the two men to use Lenny as a puppet. When Lenny threatens to excommunicate Voiello from the church, the liberal cardinal is forced to swear allegiance to him. Later, during a chance meeting with Esther, the wife of a Swiss guard, Lenny has an attack.
