A review by seaweed
Project Pope by Clifford D. Simak

For a book about catholic robots there was not enough robots or explanation on why out of all religions they chose catholicism (other religions are mentioned once). What it is does have is a lot of surprising concepts that do not fit the story being told, and resort to functioning as weak plot devices. Paper thin character writing and pages that have not known an editor. Divine intervention as return to the cultural hegemony.
