The significance of the name "Francis" is explored as a signal for the new Pope's intended program of reform. Drawing inspiration from Francis of Assisi, the "Little Poor Man," the Pope is expected to focus on the downtrodden.

A contact within the Vatican's public relations office describes the vast, uncatalogued nature of the Holy See's archives. Among the hidden historical documents is the purported discovery of divorce papers belonging to explorer Marco Polo. The conversation compares the scale of the Vatican's collection to the National Palace Museum in Taiwan, which holds artifacts moved by Chiang Kai-shek.
