"Local bishops" who were not under the papal rule?
Yeah, right. lol. Just like today, huh?
A veritable Italian free-for-all.
“And you say you want to introduce America to these Inquisitions.”
I wouldn’t mind.
Et tu, Brute?
Pathetic.
And some wonder why we should be worried about a Supreme Court dominated by Roman Catholics.

The diocese was led by the bishop. The diocese was not led by teh Bishop of Rome.
“Yeah, right. lol. Just like today, huh?”
Again, a local bishop leads a diocese.
“A veritable Italian free-for-all.”
Neither France nor Spain are in Italy. Then again you apparently thought Rome was elsewhere than it is so why am I not surprised that you are confused.
“Pathetic.”
No, actually it would be a good thing.
“And some wonder why we should be worried about a Supreme Court dominated by Roman Catholics.”
No, I don’t wonder why the paranoid worry about anything.
