Let me be the first to say that I emphatically support our chancellor's plan. Though I too share the excitement felt by many of the court in regards to the New World, we must focus on our known enemies and the known wealth that continue to be present in "The Old World." Quit tramping around the jungle like some Portuguese 4th son and defend your homes and King. We have nearly vanquished the Castillianos and we can finish them in 15 years!
As for de Arezzo's response, where was the piety of your Tuscan Bank when they raped the Papal States of every valuable in the name of the Florentine Republic? If you can support a attack on the holy father, surely you may support a attack on a decadent order of secular ruling Frenchmen? The Knights of Rhodes have long since lost their holy purpose; now they serve a more seductive master: Venetian coin.
