1. Bernardus describes his mother’s devotion, his priesthood, and his retreat into religious study at Saint Paul.
2. A dream announces his confessor’s death, and a vision of his mother persuades him to remain in the cloister.
3. As a professor in Klagenfurt, he reads the Pope’s book and rejects papal infallibility.
4. He interprets reports of a star and meteor as divine encouragement, vows to travel to America, and prepares to leave.
5. Bernardus departs confidently, but Flemming regards him with pity; Flemming and Berkley return to Saint Gilgen and exchange farewells.
6. The widow’s child dies that night, while Flemming watches nearby lights and shadows without understanding their cause.

На что обратить внимание

Reading the Pope’s work reverses Bernardus’s earlier trust. His rejection supports his decision to pursue an independent religious mission.
