(urth) Academic commentary

[David Stockhoff]

I can't find it---it wasn't Stockton. The one I'm thinking of actually 
concerns how the Devil became Pope, or made a wizard Pope, simply by 
being a practicing necromancer and acting in as depraved a manner as 
possible. The Cardinals were jealous and tried to kill him by black 
magic, but there were several twists. Damned if I can remember who wrote it!

Probably not the one James is thinking of.
