The Holy Alliance to Restore Rome to Pope Clement VII and Depose the Antipope Urban VI

Your Unholiness Antipope Urban VI, Accursed Usurper of Rome, Vicar of Satan, Successor of Judas Iscariot, Abominable Pontiff of the Satanic Church, the Antichrist, Sinful Tyrant of Rome, Servant of the servants of Satan, be warned: Your false reign is at an end. All faithful Christian Europe will see your Satanic antipapacy undone and your unholy being removed from the Chair of Saint Peter, which you defile with your profane presence.

The true Pope, elected by the Sacred College of Cardinals without unlawful interference by criminal mobsters, will be restored to Rome. His reign shall be a great and saintly one, and his name will be exulted on Earth and in the Heavens long after yours is forgotten even by Satan's most lowly henchmen.

Glory to God!

Long live His Holiness Pope Clement VII!

A low-vis urban SHTF loadout (w/ pics)

I was doing a little inventory of my gear yesterday and decided to see what I could patch together for a low-vis urban SHTF loadout. Aside from snacks, what’s missing?

Edit: I should have specified what I meant by SHTF. This loadout is meant for mobility through an area of civil unrest, not like long-term survival in some kind of post-apocalyptic world.

Small Pope Urban update

Just to recap...Grandma died last October with her name still on half of PU's house. Death certificates have been sent to gram's debt holders. No word yet if they are going to try and force a sale of the house.

So with the possibility of homeless hanging over her head, PU moved her step grandson and his fiance into the house. Their LoVeLy parents having kicked them out because they are now "adults"...truth is her foster parents aren't getting money for her anymore and his Dad's fiance doesn't like either kid and she didn't want them living there anymore. So bubye...see ya later.

For the most part the grandson tries to help out PU but he's still a kid and he's in LOVE. The fiance is also still a kid and she finally has someone who loves her and will do anything for her and she takes full advantage of it.

They only work part time at a warehouse so they aren't contributing any money to the house hold, I'm not sure if they even buy their own food but PU is enjoying their company so far. You know, cause I'm so far away and haven't come home to visit with her in sooooo loooooong.

I know exactly what's going to happen. When things go south, it's going to be my fault she let them move in cause she was sooo lonely cause I moved away and left her.

Our supreme leader reminds me of Pope Urban II during 1095!

During 1095, Whole of Europe was in turmoil. There was no kingdom of France or kingdom of England. No central authority. Life condition was so brutal, harsh and life seemed hopeless.

Pope had no central power like he did during middle ages!

Life was poor, starvation, murders between families, rapes and worst crimes taking place.

Then pope urban II stepped in! In order to flex his power, he found a common enemy "Islam". After the fall of Roman Empire, sejluk Turks took control of holy land which is "Jerusalem".

By offering Christians a ticket to heaven and get his grip tight on authority over Europe called for first Crusade.

Same way out supreme leader gets shit done

He encouraged RELIGIOUS fanaticism the same way pope urban II did to put people's head out of starvation, poor life and shitty living conditions.

[Event] Sic Transit Gloria Mundi | The Death of Pope Alexander VI

August 18, 1503

Pope Alexander VI, Vicar of Christ, Supreme Pontiff of the Roman Church, Bishop of Rome, has died. The Pope's last days had been spent preoccupied with the ongoing war and he has been receiving frequent updates on the campaign of the Duke of Valentinois. On August 7, the Pontiff met with the Venetian ambassador who wrote on the seriousness of the Pope's outlook toward the ongoing crisis.

The Pope began to notice symptoms of illness on Saturday, August 12. The Badia of Florence, however, wrote to their ambassador to Louis XII on August 18 that the Pope had shown signs of a fever on the 10th. The Pope was supposed to have held a meeting for the signing of documents, but it was cancelled on the 12th. In the evening Alexander showed symptoms of a continuous fever and he vomited yellow bile. On the morning of the 13th, the Pope had doctors summoned, one of whom (the Bishop of Venosa, Bernardino Bongiovanni) was ill himself; they were not allowed to leave the Apostolic Palace.

It was clear that things were getting serious and riders were quickly dispatched on August 14th to inform Il Valentino that the Pope was gravely ill. The summers of Rome were harsh and the malaria epidemic this year would prove to be one of the deadliest on record.

On the 16th news had reached Florence, and specifically the ear of the powerful Cardinal Guiliano Della Rovere, that the Pope was on his deathbed and his machinations began immediately. Della Rovere quickly raised 100 mounted crossbowmen to escort him to Rome for fear of the agents of Cesare Borgia.

On Thursday the 17th Cardinal Francisco Borja mentioned to the Ambassador of Modena that the Pope was feeling better but that he had a tertian fever, and there were fears that it would develop into a quartan fever. Both a typical progression of malarial fever.

On the next morning, the Ambassador of Modena was told by Cardinal Borja that the pope had had a bad night and that the fever had gripped him even more strongly than before. The Venetian Ambassador, Antonio Giustinian, reported to the Doge of Venice on August 18, before the death of Pope Alexander, that the Pope was suffering from apoplexy, or so he heard from a reliable physician

On Friday the 18th, Pope Alexander had confession, heard Mass, and received Holy Communion, seated on his bed, from the hand of Bishop Peter Gamboa of Carinola, the assistant Master of the Apostolic Palace and Vicar of Rome. Five Cardinals were present: Arborensis [Jaime S

[DIPLOMACY] A Request to Pope Alexander VI

As delivered by an emissary, a letter bearing the seal of the King of the Romans has arrived in Rome. It reads thusly:


> Your Holiness,

> We come to you with a request most dire.

> Your son, Cesare Borgia, has overstepped for far too long. The sanctity and security of the Empire is threatened by his reckless and insidious actions. His constant aggrandising on the border of the Empire brings major threats to its security. We cannot, in good conscience, let him continue with these actions. Furthermore, the rise of Pandolfo Petrucci in Siena is clearly an action that has been manufactured by Cesare Borgia in order to create a loyal ally in the Empire who will begin to subvert other Italian members of the Empire to the Borgia cause. Furthermore, he has sinned significantly in his life while threatening the Empire. His crimes include, but are not limited to: Murder, Simony, Incest, Bribery, Blackmail, Sodomy, Rape, Blasphemy, and Heresy.

> As such, we request that you must excommunicate him for his many sins and crimes on this Earth. He cannot be allowed to remain without punishment, and I place my trust in you, Holy Father, to ensure that someone of this villainy cannot be allowed to stand.

Signed, by the Grace of God, Maximilian, The King of the Romans, King of the Germans, King of Italy, Archduke of Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, The Prince of Swabia, Princely Count of Habsburg, of Tyrol, and of Gorizia, The Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire, the Enns, Burgau, and the Wendish March.

Servant concept: Caster Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander the VI)

I don't think he needs an introduction, one of the most controversial popes in history has had a duality to his existence in history, on the one hand the church itself praised him for his strict doctrine but the masses hated that he was far from holy or a representative of god. Due to this duel nature as a servant he is two faced, both being a force for good and service to humanity, but also being a vile creature that looks out for his own interests.

Rarity: 4 Stars

Deck: Buster np, Duel buster, Duel arts, single quick

Passives:

Magic resistance A

Riding D

Independent action C

Chosen by god A: Immune to out of combat damage (Burning,curse, poison, etc,etc) but lowers the effectiveness of healing on him by 30%.

Two-Faced EX: No combat effect

Skills: Rodrigo has the ability to switch his alignment between Good and Evil, for this purpose I will explain his 2nd skill first.

Twisted Alignment: Switches his current alignment to the opposite of what it currently is. (Starts as good at the start of battle) Has a low 2 turn cooldown.

Switching to good: Removes a debuff and increases Rodrigo's debuff resistance by 30% for 3 turns

Switching to evil: Charges np gauge by 20%

Charming Charisma A-

Good Alignment: Increases allies attack by 20% for 3 turns, heals them for 2000 hp, and removes one debuff.

Evil Alignment: Increases allies attack by 20%, increases their crit damage by 40%, charms enemies (With a base 80% chance that increases to 150% for female enemies, charm only lasts 1 turn) and lowers allies defence by 10% (Demerit) for three turns

Plots within plots B+

(Cannot target self)

Good Alignment: Applies guts to a target ally, increases the healing they receive by 50% for 3 turns, and increases their star weight by 1000% for 1 turn.

Evil Alignment: Applies a timed debuff, causing a target ally to die in one turn, but upon their death apply a series of debuffs to all enemies, and generate 30 stars.

40% attack down

40% crit chance down

5000 poison damage

15% arts resist down

15% buster resist down

All lasting 3 turns.

Noble phantasm: Praise the almighty, fall into depravity

"No one can judge me, your faith in my ability shall not waver, for you know the truth. My allies shall forever PRAISE THE ALMIGHTY!!!!! And my foes shall eternally FALL INTO DEPRAVITY!!!!"

(The alignment does not affect the noble phantasm)

Increases allies buster and arts performance by 35%

Heals them for between 3000-7000hp based on

The Universe [Catholic] 25 experiment is one of the most grim experiments in history, which through the behavior of a colony of mice, is an attempt to explain Catholic (Universal) societies: the world.

Invented by American Lay-Gesuit Spiritual Coadjutor, John Calhoun, who created an “ideal [Catholic] world” in which hundreds of mice would live and reproduce. Building the so-called “Paradise of Mice,” a specially designed space where rodents had an abundance of food and water, as well as a large living space. The digital Babylonian (Roman) Universal (Catholic) St. Thomas Moore Monastic commune created by the Gesuits in the 17th century South American Reduction: invisibly present worldwide everywhere now: the Gesuit Noosphere.

Lay-Gesuit Spiritual Coadjutor, John B. Calhoun, the Pope of the worldwide Gesuit digital Reduction concentration death Commune

Lay-Gesuit Spiritual Coadjutor, John B. Calhoun’s worldwide Gesuit Digital Reduction concentration death Commune: the black Saturn cube

In the beginning, he placed four pairs of mice that in a short time began to reproduce, resulting in their population growing rapidly. However, after 315 days their reproduction began to decrease significantly.

When the number of rodents reached 600, a hierarchy was formed between them and then the so-called “wretches” appeared. The larger rodents began to attack the group, with the result that many males begin to collapse psychologically.

As a result, the females did not protect themselves and in turn became aggressive towards their young. As time went on, the females showed more and more aggressive behavior, isolation elements and lack of reproductive mood. There was a low birth rate and, at the same time, an increase in mortality in younger rodents.

Then, a new class of male rodents appeared, the so-called “beautiful mice” (… put two and two together.) They refused to mate with the females or to fight for their space. All they cared about was **food and slee
