Pope Covour?

From what little I have read of Italian history, the house of Piedmont Sardenia is not impressive. So what if young covour goes into the ministry and becomes Pope? Without Covour Piedmont Sardenia goes pop like the rest of the kingdoms of Italy I am sure there is lots of anti clerical thinking going on in Italy, but a rational pope Could get Italy...

Or is this just too far off the wall?
 
I want to bump this. what would the effects be of a more rational church in Italy be vis a vis the rest of the country?

heck, what if the church's rule in is domains in central italy were less stupid and barbaric?

Gioberti proposed an italian federation ruled by the pope, but since the church thought that the unification of the peninsula also meant social reforms (which was what they mostly feared), it couldnt happen.
