400 florins a turn for 5 turns should rocket you up to full Papal love.
Can you bribe the pope with that little? I've found that as my ranking on the Pope-o-meter gets higher, I seem to have to throw more money to the Pope slush fund to get an increased ranking. Will gifting him 500 over two turns have the same effect as 1000 over one turn? I guess I'm asking if it is cumulative or do you have to make a big donation at once to make a difference?
