Yeah, I didn't really want to come right out with that so early, but I had already established that trait in my first story. Given that, it didn't make much sense Mandorf to just sit there and not respond when the Cardinal so blatantly praised the Pope. It kind of forced me to come out with it. I fully expect to be ostricized from the Diet. It would be fun if some other people would aggitate against the Pope, but somehow I doubt that's going to happen. Since it'll just be me on my lonesome, I'm rather doomed. It would be hillarious if I got burned by an Inquisitor, but it's equally possible that everyone BUT me will get burned. Silly AI...
