One of the central characters in this story only utters two words, "talitha cumi.' The titular character argues that humanity yearns for three qualities: "mystery," "miracle," and "authority," and associates the entities with Satan's three temptations of Jesus in the desert. He argues that 800 years earlier the Catholic Church accepted these temptations when Pope Stephen II accepted the Donation of Pepin. Essentially a monologue in which the title character rationalizes to a Divine visitor --for 10 points-- name this story that Ivan tells Alexei in Dostoevsky's Brothers Karamazov.
