Are They More Susceptible to Pressure From the Papacy Because They're Literally Right There in the Same City?

When the index happens there's not much pressure before that. There are all sorts of crazy theories that everybody seems to subscribe to without much dissension until the Lutheran reformation comes along. People who used to be completely in harmony furthering the popes suddenly do start fracturing along national and ideological lines. I think everybody's too busy building out Rome as a capital before there's a remarkable unanimity in the way that people think.
