As many of you know, in the past i was the Pope.
And being a Pope forces decisions on you, people often ask if there was a grand strategy behind my decisions?
There was not.

Why did I begin a crusade for https://app.warera.io/region/683ddd3d36dbc90b7804749d?

You may consider the incident trivial but i did not.
And to the nation that has for reasons still unclear, delayed opening an embassy for two days: I also remember.
Absence is like insult, it's a statement and one should be mindful of the statements he makes.
