Now that we know there actually was a Mr.Urban the cannon maker, the question is why he chose VATICAN AIRWAYS in his flight to Turkia...cheaper tickets, easier reservations?

Quoting Roswitha: Constantinople was initially not considered worth the effort of conquest, but with the advent of cannons, the walls - which had been impenetrable except by the Fourth Crusade for over 1000 years - no longer offered adequate protection from the Ottomans. The Fall of Constantinople finally came after a two-month siege by Mehmed II on May 29, 1453.

That would be a very poor excuse for any decent POPE, no?
