That's a fair take! I always have sympathy for the popes who try and just can't get anything to go their way. I'm not sure the Hospitallers are worth an SI point, but, I validate the rest!

Ah yes, Has been happening for ages! This organization is definitely not a new problem, they last pulled this in the 80s I believe?
It would be really cool if when you became pope you got powers like the Bene Gesserit Reverend Mothers in Dune- you acquired the memories of prior popes. Like, Imagine if whenever he picked up a baseball bat he heard the voices of the previous warrior popes in his head going “Beat his ass!”
These freakin guys
I saw this and needed to share.
I apologize for nothing.

Ali had to row across a lake in apology, will Fry have to WALK TO CANOSSA?!
I would send this to Fry, but she would not grasp how truly ominous those words are 🤣🤣
It is SO acid!
You know, I have to remind myself that as Gregory is humiliating the Emperor it's only been 30 years since the rock bottom of the Papacy under the demon from hell. I'd always assumed that it was a more steady recovery from the Pornocracy yet it's gone from 0 to 11 real quick!
Absolutely!!!
