In the middle of a nascent civil war, the ancient history of attraction between white reverend fathers and beautiful black nuns, if unabated, could prove fatal to the message of the Catholic church. Sister Catherine, (daughter of a traditional Ifa worshipper) struggled with the voice of cross and that of man. She must prove if chastity is the will of the Supreme or imposition of a religious few imitating God of love! In this colonial setting, the conservative, faithful Cardinal Silvanus recommended the appointment of a native radical, Bishop Hardwin Foriti, to stem notable intransigeances in Ijebu diocese. While the new Bishop assiduously transforms the diocese, a fresh case of love and compassion may be difficult to contain or denied credibility by the Roman Catholic.
