Just trot out a bishop to tell the raggedy-arsed masses that they’re no longer welcome if they vote the wrong way. That really happened in 2008, Kansas City or St Louis, I don’t remember which of the two.

Pope??? The Tudor’s pretty much finished off that relationship and the German line was always Protestant.
Not well played at all.
