My sons,

You bring back fond memories of my youthful years when I was as impatient as you are now... But need I remind you that the fate that the Pope has decreed upon England is a threat that hangs upon our heads also... Don't you se that a single misstep could mean eternal damnation for us all ? For excommunication is not to be taken lightly... It is in the afterlife that we would pay for having gone against God's will...

That thought I cannot bear... So this war will not be waged unless we have Papal sanction, a thing which I am assured we can have (Philippe smiles a knowing smile)...

It will be a holy Crusade to regain our prestige and our lands, or it will not be.
