What if with Thomas’s renewed faith and Vincent’s attempts to feed him and promote self-care, Thomas just starts looking better and better.
Like we know he has a six-pack but with enough sleep and food, he just starts looking younger and healthier. The wrinkles are fading, his eyes have light in them, his singing voice that had diminished with time is now back.
Members of the Curia are doing a double-take when he walks by. In a year, he somehow looks younger than Bellini. Visiting bishops and cardinals are “is that the Dean? There’s no way.”
“Bless me father for I have sinned, it has been 2 weeks since my last confession. I am ashamed to say I have felt lust towards Cardinal Lawrence.”
With the bishop on the other side thinking “oh, it’s not just me. Thank the lord.”
During mass, there are priests crying from how beautiful Thomas’s singing is and they’re trying to pass it off as “the Holy Spirit is just so moving”. Even Tedesco is drying his eyes and thinking “see, this is what we could have if we go back to all-Latin masses. This is what Vatican 2 robbed us of.”
The media is having a field day about the “Hot Cardinal” and the “Stunning Advisor to the Pope”. There are multiple Stan accounts for Thomas. There’s a priest out there who’s homily is “with enough devotion to the Lord, you too will be blessed with youth for look at our Cardinal Lawrence.” Some young people actually join the church because of this homily.
Bellini is having to tell world leaders and organizations that Thomas will not be attending this international tour but we are very pleased that so many people are interested in the Church.
Ray is contemplating if he can get Thomas on a skincare routine.
Vincent is half “I’m so happy Thomas is doing so much better. Mi Tesoro” and half “I’ve messed up and have introduced temptation into this holy place. Look forward Vincent, look forward, you are holding mass. It will be very obvious if you keep looking at him. Oh my god, he is beautiful and his voice is like the angels. Truly the Holy Spirit is well and alive in him. Look how many are brought to tears by it. Stop looking at Thomas like that Bishop Fitzgerald, we’re in church. Have some decorum.”
