I thought this was a murder mystery set in an unusual location. It is instead at this point more of a treatise on Papal intrigues in the 14th century as sects vie for power and heresies abound.
The language is heavily liturgical and ecclesiastical (full of churchy terms)and only partially translated - originally in Italian, thé Latin sentences are not translated.
