I believe what you need to do is direct your interest to the particular office within the Vatican you are interested in working http://www.vatican.va/offices/index.htm That is all I know - I hope this helps. Good Luck!!!

How to get manuscript published: from Life in dysfunctional family to life as priest in dysfunctional Vatican
How to get manuscript published: from Life in dysfunctional family to life as priest in dysfunctional Vatican?
Unpublished manuscript in two volumes. Vol I deals w/ life w/ mother who has eight kids by five different husbands. Gives boy at age nine to strangers who are alcoholics & abuse him physically/sexually he is age 15. Boy leaves "home" & lives on streets til finishing high school Vol II deals with his young adulthood til he becomes ordained Catholic Priest, works in Vatican, deals with his deep spiritual faith and integrity and is excommnicated for revealing corruption of Vatican at highest levels, laundrying of money by Vatican Bank, failure of Banco Ambosiano. Vol One is completely finished and in edited form; vol II is in rough draft. Author not interested in money but wants to get manuscript published. Can anyone help? please email me: robbi@junewedding.com While I say I'm not interested in money, I should also say, I don't have much money as well. My money has gone to health care for more than thirty years. Also, for a couple of years I sent synopsis to publishers and followed that route. That is an almost impossible route also, unless one has money....for an agent....please do not answer with: send synopsis, letter, etc...to different publishers.....or contact different publishers.....and, yes, I apologize, the word laundering is misspelled.

If you're not interested in money then you could always consider self-publication. Other than that, you have to query your work to publishers. Write up a nice, short, professional query letter (which will include your contact info and a very brief summary of the book[s]) and send that to publishing houses, and look for literary agents as well. Send the agents your query letter and if they are interested they will take it upon themselves to sell your book to a publishing house...for a percentage :) Good luck! Sounds like a very interesting story. Laundrying in your summary should be laundering. [EDIT] :) Sorry about that; I guess I didn't fully understand your original question. Also, the only reason that I pointed out the mistake in wording was because I thought it was a nice summary and you might want to use it. I don't know of any other ways. Perhaps you can find a way to get it published as an ebook? Something worth looking into I guess. Also, you shouldn't have to pay an agent. Not up front anyway. They should only receive their percentage if they sell your work. They are seeking talent as much as any publisher and they will pay the $6 per page for professional editing. So, you don't 'hire' an agent; they pretty much accept your work and try to sell it or they get nothing.

What does the Pope and everyone working in the Vatican actually do

they, literally, roll in money. they lie naked on piles of gold. they jingle when they walk because they are so jewel encrusted.
5 :
The pope is Bishop of Rome with Christ as the Head of the Catholic church. The word pope comes from the Latin word for father. He is chosen from the cardinals by a unanimous vote to lead the church. There is an unbroken chain of popes starting with the Apostle Peter. Peter's original name was Simon but was changed to Peter when Jesus chose him the lead the church after Jesus' death. Peter comes from the word for stone and Peter was "the rock" on which the church was built. That is also why we have a pope today. Jesus selected a fallible, mortal but devout man to help lead his other followers and we continue this today. He is chosen by his colleagues as the best suited for the office from among them due to his piety, knowledge, administrative acumen and temperment. He is the spokesman of the Church and when new issues arise he is responsible for discerning the position of the Church based on Its doctrine, morals and tradition. Catholics do not worship him or think he is perfect or infallible, they do respect him and trust him as the vicar of Christ

The pope has a busy schedule. He is the Bishop of Rome, so he does Confirmation Masses year round. He also prayers a LOT everyday. I was e-mailed my Bishop secretary and the Bishop was praying for some 3 hours in the morning so I had to wait like FOREVER for a reply. =P The pope also studies ancient texts (but mostly cardinals do this) and write encyclicals. Now, the other people. Well, the Swiss Guards are the policemen. The postal workers at the Vatican do their job. The janitors clean the place. Etc.
