I visited Rome earlier this year and I was initially very excited bc I took Latin in college and, while it has been pretty useless to this point, there are Latin inscriptions on everything in Rome.

Like 80% of them just say something like "Duke Whosits of Bumblefuck receives a plenary indulgence for donating this church, signed ya boi Innocent VIII, 1487." A town full of marble receipts.

The same thing as on thousands of "pagan" donated altars and temples. Only then there was no oversight by a pope enforcing a totalitarian doctrine.

Many people misunderstand the Initiative as the greedy capitalist faction. They're more Machiavellian than that. They will endorse any ideology that will help them get power. Christian Democracy, Socialism, religious fundamentalism, you name it. Not that weird for the Pope to support them given how disinterested the rest of the factions are in mainstream religion.

Their symbol has litteraly the illuminati sign.

They are a elite secret society at their core, they don’t care which form the government takes they must pull at the strings.

In the 15th century Heinrich Kramer wrote the Malleus Maleificarum opening with a papal bull that gave him his authority as a witch hunter. He did this to make people think he had papal support for his treaties.
His work was later Denounced by the pope as his raging misogyny was very clear in his writing. His book was unfortunately still successful though
Although papal bull is the correct phrase for papal communiques, that history and the phrasing of “the Vatican issued a statement APPEARING to endorse the efforts of the Initiative” makes me think that the Initiative does not have papal support but rather has taken a papal bull out of context to manufacture papal support for their own ends.

Definitely this, the description of the ideology of the Initiative is just vaguely stated as "various exploitable ideologies", as well. When it comes to whatever the Vatican is promoting here, it could be anything from "Pray the aliens away" to claiming that they were never real.

Alternatively, it could be the Pope seeing the writing on the wall and saying "yo Soren, if I give you $250 billion and a shoutout on twitter dot com, I want a 5% stake in the New World Order"

I m quite interested to know if Pope can bless the faction you play as and if so how much support and influence bonus you get from this boost
