In this episode of Death Comes for the Archbishop, host Matthew Handley reads Book 5. Bishop Jean Marie Latour now needs to deal with Padre Martinez, the pastor in Taos who, in Book 1, rode to Santa Fe upon Bishop Latour’s arrival expressly to reject his authority.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already, in the ages before us. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
