Issue Summary

Weisshaupt miscalculated his people's faith in the Pope, and Cerebus' willingness to use that influence. Cerebus frightens Weisshaupt's followers with eternal damnation, and none of them dare to light the fuses on the cannons. Weisshaupt is about to bring about Cerebus' destruction himself when he suffers a heart attack, further convincing the crowd of the pope's power.

Cerebus encounters the Big Round Glowing White Strange Thing. This time he hits it, and as a result sneezes flames. Getting some pepper he goes to visit Mrs. Henrot-Gutch. When Mrs. Henrot-Gutch gets wet instead of fried she beats Cerebus to a pulp with her cane. The Elf calls to Cerebus telepathically, telling him of a secret route to the Regency Hotel.

Cerebus' head has bubbles over it, and then he sneezes fire. He appears surprised, as if he never had done that before. When he tries to force himself to sneeze fire again, he just has an ordinary sneeze. (p. 368 - 370, Church & State I)
