Imperial Diet II

[Stuperman]

Your words make no sense my chancellor and as such I feel that this one part of your edict will lead to its downfall.

No it is your words that make no sense. You suggest we continue to make war on catholic nations, actions that got Venice and Milan excommunicated, but at the same time suggest we attempt to please the pope by going on this crusade in his name, with the hopes ther we will have our excommunication lifted.

Surely what you are suggesting would only serve to cancel each other out, and over extend the riech's forces.

although I would support Marseille being added to the exceptions list.

Then you surely wish to tell me why it is wrong to take a settlement when the chancellor himself confirmed that we may continue battling on foreign soil? Do you think the pope will be any more or less happy if we take a settlement and allow good German settlers to spread our culture and conviction? Do you realize that good Christians will not have to die if we can take those settlements instead of letting our enemies continue to push the populace to throw themselves into our swords and spears? Peace through victory!

perhaps we are misunderstanding each other, the wording of your edict, to me, indicated that there would be continued campaigning throughout europe, with catholic against catholic. Actions that would meet with papal disaproval, at a time when we are looking to improve relations with the pope.

I have no quams with fighting heathens though with thier twisted biblical interpertations, and false prophets, that is why I support the Chancellor's call for this crusade!

(OOC: no offence about the religious stuff, just playing the character)

I did not suggest in my edict that there would be constant campaigning - only that there should be no restrictions on it if our both important and revered generals who regrettably have to remain here wish to expand or feel the need to.
As I said, it is bad enough for them to have to stay here - why make it even harder?
