The Maltese Messiah

Upon discovering the Maltese Order possesses the Holy Grail, God will be revealed to Cardinal-Archbishop Conor O'Griffin, Papal Nuncio to the Knights of Malta, in a laboratory of science and technology specializing in genetic engineering. Learning how the cup used to celebrate the first communion ultimately served as a receptacle for the blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the Vatican ambassador witnesses DNA extraction. Via cloning, the Second Coming of Christ is at hand. For Cardinal-Archbishop O'Griffin, this scientific achievement creates a moral dilemma: yes, the use of technology in order to create life makes science, not God, the creator; but, with all of man's genius, can science also successfully replicate Jesus of Nazareth's spirit? Is spirit part of human DNA or is it something else? Seeking answers for these questions compels the Holy See's diplomat to answer a far more basic question: How will he answer to God?
