I think his second change of state religion wasn't enacted, and right before it was enacted the Emperor changed his mind, it didn't affect the people in anyway.Good grief, Mathalamus. You adopt and drop a state religion like the weather and expect people to trust you or take you seriously? Maybe you should look up the word "fickle" one day.
Byzantium has negotiated with the Free religion alliances. i am able and willing to rejoin so i did.
naturally i drop the state religion.
i apologize for the instability. the pope does not know how to be kind or accepting. the papal states never declared Byzantium a rouge state. that id their flaw. they can declare anything willy nilly.
Papal States no longer agonizes the Byzantines to exist at all.
YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE WORD OF GOD.
YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE WORD OF GOD.
As for now, the Papal States no longer agonizes the Byzantines to exist at all.
You challenge us?
BLOCKADE: BYZANTINES
Spare me, I am not offending God, I am offending a worthless pope who is to arrogant to be considered the leader of a religion as great as Christianity. I do not want war, but I refuse to allow the pope, someone who is suppose to be a pacifist blockade my 5th biggest trading partner.Europe's armed forces are at the Pope's command. Your intruding Xi'ans have insulted our God Himself ("god"?!?!?). You refuse to cooperate. This is one of your last chances.
you cant. you have no army or navy to effectively blockade all of turkey.

All I am doing is trying to protect my allies from the wrath of the PopeIf you weren´t all the way in China, you´d be dead by now.
Me and Mathalamus, and any true Christian nations will see that he isn't the word of god and just an impostor. I would normally not be this agressive towards the pope, but as he is blockading Byzantium, I want to protect my ally.You are offending the Pope, who is the word of God on Earth, therefore you have offended God, heathen. Now leave the Pope's affairs alone
In that case the alliance I accepted from Aysee should be in effect.
the Byzantines laugh at this so called directive.
as of now, the papal states cannot use, cross or go near Byzantine territory. if you still wish to visit, you must state so before you enter, otherwise any ships or troops caught in Byzantine territory will be arrested and deported to Rome. if we feel kind.
My claims for Update #3 are in Light Blue, and the claims for Update #4 are in gray.
