Ave!

Mieszko frowns upon hearing the news.

 

"I remember when Lucienist sheggit attempt to slaughter Franz's entire coronation when he was crowned by lowly priest. And now this? What shall it be, you silly Adunii? You are like hypocrisy! Who can even trust Rovin lines besides? They have very bad track record. As in when they were holy order sworn to protect our great church and they betrayed us, and sacked capital besides Ogres and Dwarves! Haha!"

 

"I seem to recall Franz-Josef crowing said priest as High Pontiff when he was actually a lowly abbot three days prior. You also imply it failed. The Decturem and Order of Saint Lucien successfully slew the Prince Franz-Josef. As well, church was not part of the state at the time, so you just sound like silly Bolshevik Raevir scum to everyone besides your pig-friends in Streltanistan."

I believe Mieszko was making the point that the Lucienists just crowned their king with a lowly priest when such is what supposedly caused Lucienists to king slay in first place, as if these actions could be considered hypocritical

((Not to butt in here unnecessarily, but the issue there was that Orenian ancestral law mandated a pontifical coronation. An entirely new kingdom doesn't have these same expectations, as the Pontiff has no de jure claim over right to crown in any instance. In the case of Franz, he himself lack de jure claim to the Orenian crown as Orenian law requires the High Pontiff's blessing, the Pontiff didn't actually hold power over crown law, he just acted as an agent of it. That was why Franz and his advisors decided that the coronation was only for king of Ruska, so that the Pontiff wouldn't be needed, but the damage was already done by then due to the creation of the Antipope.

 

Having been the High Pontiff at the time, I can vouch that the issue of crowning had been resolved before the coup, it was by then a matter of the heresy of the antipope in canon law, to which the Lucienists were bound.))
