That last one, about the Pope... funny thing is, as part of his punishment, Stephen VI had all the acts performed by his predecessor undone. Ironically, this resulted in a paradox. Because that very same man had made him archbishop, if his actions were undone, that means Stephen VI could not have become Pope, as you need to be an Archbishop to qualify. If he is not the Pope, however, that means he was not able to try his predecessor for any crimes, and thus, was unable to annul his decisions, including making him archbishop.
