Hehe, I wouldn't really call him a pope, fascist maybe. He wanted to abolish all of the religion in the galaxy. It may not be well known, but the Imperium is based a lot on the Soviet Union, not as much on same nazi or fascist countries :)
It's something I must have started saying when I was 15 with friends who played 40k. I haven't read the lore in maybe 20 years -- really, I think I just needed an outlet to write the words: fascist space pope. Awesome stuff though, and thanks for the update!
