Can you give me sanctuary? I must find a place to hide -- a place for me to hide. Catacombs, nursery bones. Winter women growing stones. Carrying babies to the river.

Does he get to keep his gowns? He can always find other work.

So, just hang out in Rome, and do some ceremonial shit every now and then? Nice work if you can get it.

Maybe he can become an antipope. I love a good schism. Also all the aholes can be excommunicated in one big sweep.
