A restorer working on a Michelangelo sculpture uncovers evidence showing that the official artist of the Vatican and the Catholic Church, was, during the period of the Inquisition, flirting with Protestantism.

Michelangelo however, being too important for the Catholic Church's own propaganda, was spared.
