Following the Second World War, the populace of many nations began to seek out answers for the reason so much carnage enveloped the world, more than 40 million people. Some turned to the governments for answers, others to their peers, and some turned to God and the Church. The Church had not intervened in a way that was particularily useful, with the Pope even supporting the actions of Mussolini and Hitler before the war. Seeing this as a major failing in the church's history, the Pope and his cardinals agreed that they had to greater role in the lives of their followers to prevent such a terrible event from blighting mankind in the future. The Pope held a meeting with several archbishops and leaders of churches in other nations around Italy to discuss the plan to expand the Church's grip,

abstract	Following the Second World War, the populace of many nations began to seek out answers for the reason so much carnage enveloped the world, more than 40 million people. Some turned to the governments for answers, others to their peers, and some turned to God and the Church. The Church had not intervened in a way that was particularily useful, with the Pope even supporting the actions of Mussolini and Hitler before the war. Seeing this as a major failing in the church's history, the Pope and his cardinals agreed that they had to greater role in the lives of their followers to prevent such a terrible event from blighting mankind in the future. The Pope held a meeting with several archbishops and leaders of churches in other nations around Italy to discuss the plan to expand the Church's grip, and how to better aid the people they were to shepard. Several ideas were proposed, but one in particular stuck out. Proposed by a bishop from Lyons, it was suggested that the Church support leaders chosen by the Pope himself, to take the lead in many nations, and secretly prepare them from unification under the Church's direction. The plan itself was audicious, but the possibly and reality that it could work were disputed amoungst the religious leaders. The Pope too was rather skeptical of the plan, but was willing to see it through, and tasked the bishop in fulfilling the task of finding and aiding politicians into becoming national leaders. The first took place in Italy in 1947, when Alcide De Gasperi was beaten in an election against Cornelio Jaconelli, a cardinal and agent of the plan hatched by the church. Jaconelli was ordered not to hand power over to the church yet, but to wait and establish a government that would be able to fulfill that plan when the time was right. Jaconelli set up a number a pro-Catholic reforms that allowed ministers of the church to run for office while recieving the aid of the church itself, and also prevented non-Catholics from running, which was the only controversial issue during his administration. Plans to include France, Spain, and Germany into the plan where also set, though they would prove somewhat difficult. In France, André Marie was defeated by a small margin by the Catholic bishop, Séverin Baijot, who too set about reforming the government for the plan. He was assassinated by an ill Protestant man who believed that he was seeking to wipe out the Protestant population, which was somewhat justified as Baijot was performing a number of questionable actions that nearly ruined the plan to unify the nations under the Church. Another Catholic was voted into power, and was informed of the Pope's plan, of which he surprisingly supported. Spain came under the Church's direct control in 1953, when Franco was assassinated by radical Catholic politicians, and Spain fell to theocratic Catholic forces soon after. The Church appointed an archbishop from Madrid to govern the nation in the Pope's stead, and the Holy League was annouced shortly after.
