You've gotten senile in your old age, converted to catholicism, have had a quick ordination followed by promotion to purple and are now favorite to be elected by next conclave as bridge-builder (pontif)?

Am I close?

The catholic church has green lighted a book by their newest cardinal elect? I wonder what the topic will be? Thomistic philosophy of science-fiction?

Hadn't you heard? Russell is too independent to join someone else's church.

My bet is the book contract will lead to a series of best-selling scifi stories about mysterious supernatural beings (call them Ethans) who have appointed him as their Supreme Leader on Earth. He will attract hordes of followers who will pay to become Ethans eventually as promised, despite the (slight) improbability of the various doctrines promulgated by what has become the new church. Russell will grow immensely rich as a result.

Oh.... it's already been done??
