Stalin decided to follow his early path as a Jesuit seminarian instead of turning to Marxism, and the Russian Civil War took a completely different turn. In this timeline: Instead of leading the Bolsheviks, Stalin becomes a charismatic Jesuit preacher, rallying White Army officers and soldiers. His fiery sermons about faith, tradition, and the dangers of atheistic communism unify the fractured White movement, turning them into a holy crusade against the Reds. With divine momentum, the Whites crush the Bolsheviks and execute Lenin at the pyre. In the aftermath, Stalin helps orchestrate Russia's conversion to Catholicism, with the Tsar submitting to Rome. The emperor saves his people from the Orthodox heresy, putting a hold on the eternal wrath of the Lord God. The new regime purges Marxist influences and aligns Russia with Vatican-backed monarchies, reshaping geopolitics. A "Holy Russian Empire" emerges, spanning from Eastern Europe to Siberia, with Stalin as its Cardinal-Protector and chief inquisitor against heresy, below the autocratic Tsar. The league of the three emperors is restored and Russia, Prussia and Austria-Hungary save the world against Jewish-Communism forever, crushing it utterly.
