Book description: "In this amusing satire, Erasmus uses an imaginary confrontation between Saint Peter and Pope Juli…us II as a device for launching a scathing attack upon the abuses of Church authority. In a lively and pungent dialogue, the spirit of the recently deceased Pope, accompanied by his Evil Genius and his slaughtered mercenaries, marches to the gates of Heaven and arrogantly demands admittance. Saint Peter rebukes him for his monstrous personal sins and refuses to admit him, while Julius' efforts to indicate himself only further expose his greed and cynicism." -- with a bonus offer--.
