"Are you an idiot?"
The priest who asked that question was shocked to hear the pope's response.
He didn't think that he was wrong in asking that, but the pope looked like he was a complete idiot for asking something like this.
Even though he felt a bit aggrieved, he didn't say anything in response.
But the other priests couldn't hold back as they said, "Your grace, we feel that this is a good idea. With the power that our Holy Empire holds, we should be able to easily take back this 'saint' of ours."
Though they called him saint, the tone of their voice made it clear that there were some misgivings towards him.
The pope narrowed his eyes to look at them before saying, "Are you trying to betray our holy lord?"
All of the priests were shocked when they heard this, but they also quickly recovered from their shock when they saw the way that the pope looked at them and quickly shook their heads to deny this.
