@futurebird I appreciate that he worked out the steps to take to get free of them again. Vs either giving in or having a full breakdown.

@futurebird "When sent for, Pietro obstinately refused to accept the papacy, and even, as Petrarch says, tried to flee, until he was finally persuaded by a deputation of cardinals accompanied by the king of Naples and the pretender to the throne of Hungary."
What a party... -

What a party...He did kind of kick all of it off by writing them a letter saying that they needed to quit wasting time and just pick a Pope or else "divine vengeance would fall upon them" ... but, he must have been so dismayed when they all showed up at his nice cave.
Imagine spending your life finding a way to live a simple isolated life and these clowns come in and say "how would you like to do the exact opposite of this?"

Let me live in my barrel! That I have an opinion on your goofy worldly affairs gives you no right to extract me from it!
