"Cerebus returns to Iest's Upper City and uses Weisshaupt's cannons to destroy Thrunk and reclaim the papacy. Astoria has mysteriously killed the Western pope (the Lion of Serrea), and Cerebus must execute her for the crime in order to retain his papacy. Cerebus confronts her in a dungeon, and after being taunted by Astoria, he grants himself a divorce from Red Sophia, marries himself to Astoria, rapes her, and then divorces himself from her. Astoria's trial, which echoes with similarities to a repeating pattern of historical executions of reformers, is interrupted when Cerebus makes the predicted Ascension to the Moon that is the culmination of the land's religious prophecy. There, Cerebus meets the Judge, a timeless, godlike being who has watched over history from the very beginning. The Judge explains his version of the creation myth of Cerebus's universe, before warning Cerebus that he will live only a few more years before dying 'alone, unmourned and unloved.' The Judge tells Cerebus that if the Aardvark ever questions his suffering, he should remember his 'second marriage' to Astoria. Cerebus then falls back to earth, where he discovers that the Cirinists have invaded, and his empire has collapsed."--Wikipedia

The book critiques the term "anti-Semitism," arguing that it fails to encompass the broader cultural prejudice it seeks to describe. The author highlights the inadequacy of the term, noting that Arabs are also Semites and that the prevailing understanding of anti-Semitism does not apply equally to both Arabs and Jews. This exploration invites readers to reconsider the complexities of prejudice and cultural identity beyond conventional labels.
