The other end of the telescope from the Mossad book.  Here clerical spies recruited by Soviet block nations infiltrate the Vatican, especially during the papacy of John Paul II and his advocacy for Polish Solidarity.  This ends up being a contrast in religions not necessarily in espionage, as the Catholics evidence not knowledge of the presence of agents in the clerical ranks whereas Mossad is a penultimate enforcer as well as expert spy.
