Jerome and the Seraph

Brother Jerome hits his head on a headstone and dies.

No one waiting for him, although one friar visits him briefly.

cats named quantum. It talks to him.Quant is immortal. Quant shows him how to get back to the Friar to funeral of another friar; Jerome is there but has no actual physical substance.

Brother Jerome has a hard time going from the afterlife place to the living world and back. He rather easily gets panicky doing that, though.

Brother Bernard sees Jerome come out of a tree and leave via the same tree.

Then there's a chapter examining the various men at the friary and what kind of personalities and weaknesses they have, including a weakness for women.

(The third chapter does not have Quant or Brother Jerome in it at all.)

One friar goes to talk to a crystal-ball reading woman and she saw the head prior plus Brother Jerome and Quant.

Quant tells Jerome that he's sort of an unguided missile; his landings are not always where they are supposed to be.

Later Brother Peter is looking at headstones and Jerome appears to him and the guy who is buried in one particular grave also appears. Peter realizes Quant is a supernatural cat.

Jerome gets to see the other dead friars.

Jerome and Quant get into a major discussion about 'in my father's house there are many mansions' and its an excellent discussion, explaining how there is no one right religion.

Everything might be alive.

Billions of beings could be in the spirit world in the same place but a person may be sensitized to see only some of them.
