The Crown of Rome and Ottomans
The fall of Constantinople sent shock waves throughout the Christian world, altering the balance of regional power and giving one of Christianity's most important sites to the hands of the infidel. Despite numerous military attempts to halt the Ottoman expansion, our efforts have been met with little success.
In light of this, a bold suggestion has emerged: rather than continue a fruitless conflict, we should consider a diplomatic approach. It has been proposed that we send a letter to Ottoman Ruler, urging him to convert to Catholicism. In return, we would recognize him as the legitimate Emperor of Rome, potentially uniting the faith under one banner and stabilizing the region.
