"Si DOMINE IN LINGUA THEODISCA PAPA vader EST. QUID ALIUM NOMEN VULTIS?"

You stare at the bishop blankly and repeat the name.

"IN LATINA LOQUOR NON POTESTISNE? SANCTA MARIA QUID EGIMUS? IMBECILLAM PAPAM CARPSIMUS."

You make a mental note to replace the papal court with good Germans as soon as possible and mime your way through the ceremonies. In what passes for wit in this place, the bishop pronounces you Urban II when it comes time to announce your regnal name to the multitude.

After you are finally settled into your chambers, though, there are some choices to make.

   * If you want to leave Rome to these jerks, turn to page 20.
   * If you want to devote your papacy to spiritual matters, turn to page 39.
   * If you want to summon your councilors for a war briefing tomorrow, turn to page 77.
