I'll admit I got this idea from Europe Universalis, but it is a real thing. In the game an Orthodox nation could restore the Pentarchy if they conquered Jerusalem, Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria and Antioch. The effects in the game were fairly minor, but what if this happened in real life? I'm not sure how though. Maybe a hyper-competent Russian leader pulls a Napoleon? A resurgent Byzantine Empire? It would need some pretty radical PoDs to pull it off but if it did happen how would it effect Christianity? Would the Catholic church collapse totally if Rome was conquered?
