Pope Benedict might have been a nepo-baby, but that did not stop him from cracking down on simony, and not seeing the irony! In his episode, we discuss antipope instability, compromise candidates, and how "in Gerusalemme" is actually in Rome.

As our disciples reach the Remoran vaults, things go awry. Pro-wrestling philosophers and theological schisms are the least of their problems when Bonana gets an idea that may change everything.
