CoN 4: First Treaty of Roma

Background
Catholic nations across Europe are becoming fed up with the Pope. Complaints of rampant corruption, economic mismanagement, and child abuse. Even Trier, a bishopric and elector in the Holy Roman Empire, has had its fair share of complaints with the Pope, and has discussed the possibility of reforming the faith under new leadership. In order to quell these complaints, the Pope agreed to meet and discuss the inevitable.

Text of the Treaty
1st Treaty of Roma

20 FEB 1513

Active until 1 JAN 1600, at which point is can be extended or disbanded.

-Trier affirms the state religion of Catholic. Trier will not personally convert until Jan 1, 1600.

-The Papal State shall, when declared the nationality of the Pope, make every effort reasonably requested to grant Bishops to the court of Trier.

-The Pope shall not name Trier a "heretic" until the treaty expires or until the treaty is violated.

Signed

Pope Innocentius IX of Papal State

Jakob II von Nassau of Trier

Aftermath
Following the First Treaty of Roma, Trier has agreed to not convert until January of 1600. By this point, it is expected that the Protestant Reformation would already have ended and a major religion would have taken dominance over Europe. Only time will tell.
