In the late 70's, I remember reading a book review in the Huntington,
WV Herald-Dispatch.  The book was a novel about a fictional pope,
Sixtus VI, who was actually the Antichrist.  There was a charitable
organization called "Feed My Lambs" in the book, which may have been a
hunger relief campaign that provided cover for the pope's covert
activities.

There were several novels about fictional popes in the late 70's.  One
that comes to mind is "The Vicar of Christ," which is about a pope
called Francesco I.  I'm looking for a different book.

Please tell me the title if you can.

Thanks,
Carl

Hello.

Your book was Seven Last Years (1979) by Carol Balizet.

From a reader review on Amazon.com:

"...in a future world (what are now the 1980s and 1990s) where evil
Sixtus the Sixth becomes the Antichrist."
