Unholy Barbarian Confederacy

I just can't believe that someone could BTFO the HRE with such swiftness and without a fuck nor a dick given. Was Voltaire the sexiest man alive?

Crowned by the Pope and was seen as the bastion of Christianity in Europe
>ROMAN
Was recognized by Papal authority that was in Rome not to mention controlling it as well.
>EMPIRE
Had many ethnic groups and territories spread out in Central-South Europe as well as being controlled by and emperor.
>HREaboo
is there even such a thing? How can anybody admire such a shitty, disorganized and worthless trainwreck of a federation?

>Crowned by the Pope and was seen as the bastion of Christianity in Europe
So if the Pope says it's okay, it's okay. Gotcha.
>Was recognized by Papal authority that was in Rome not to mention controlling it as well.
Doesn't mean it's Roman, hotshot.
>Had many ethnic groups and territories spread out in Central-South Europe as well as being controlled by and emperor.
W-we-you're right, actually. So that makes it the Unholy Germanic Empire, I suppose.

The Roman Empire never died. The Pope is now both spirtual leader and king of the Empire.
Rome=All Catholics
Holy=ruled by Pope
Empire=Catholics rule the world!

Are you serious bro? HRE was like the EU of its time, maybe not the most powerful centralized government but nonetheless a major player in pretty much every historical event for hundreds of years.

>tfw you will never own your own small area in the HRE

Holy implies that it was blessed by the Pope.
Roman implies Catholic
Not gonna touch the empire part.
>>1142465
>Had many ethnic groups and territories spread out in Central-South Europe
>many ethnic groups
like a handful of Slavs and northern Italians?
>as being controlled by and emperor
that's circular logic my friend.
But does anyone know Voltaire's thoughts on the >Eastern >Roman >Empire? Was he a stealth Byzaboo?
>>1142465

Can the United Kingdom rename itself the "United Kingdom of Great Britaim, Northern Ireland, and Jerusalem"?
>>1142465
Ah, so it was the Italian empire until the 4th century then, despite a millennium of them calling themselves Roman.
