The split took place. There are now two Popes in the Christian world, in Rome and in Avignon. Only on the side of the first is the coalition of powers, which successfully completed, albeit somewhat ahead of schedule. A crusade that broke the power of the Ottoman Empire and liberated a large part of the Balkans from the yoke of the Turks. The second is forced to rely solely on the king of France, the inquisitors with their mass torture and the smoke of fires, and other obscurantists of all stripes and shades... But the poison of religious fanaticism can pave the way to many hearts and souls, inside of which rot has already settled. And Pope Julius II of Avignon, “nee” Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere, also does not disdain “Unholy Alliances.” Including with the age-old enemies of Europe - the Muslim rulers of the East.
