      Father Justin agrees, then sends Apostles to each of your cities and coverts them.

          Imagine the Papal States never dissolving and becoming a nuclear-armed power in the 20th century, using the threat of nuclear annihilation to maintain their independence and increase their global influence.

          That would be an interesting alternative history scenario.

            I’d read that novel. I bet you could find a lot of creative uses for all that rapture talk.
