Great post. I'm a fan of the music of this era (l even have a CD, remember them, called "Popes and Antipopes"). I've only got a vague knowledge of the history, so I really appreciated the explanation.

This was FANTASTIC. as a historian of the period, I applaud your successful effort to make this period of history both informative and entertaining and figure out a way to work Mario into the narrative. I see a book of these historic episodes in your future. Please make that happen.
