how was the pope made prisoner?

The section on “excommunication” says “one of Napoleon's officers saw an opportunity to gain praise” and that “[a]lthough Napoleon had captured Castel Sant'Angelo and intimidated the Pope by pointing cannons at his papal bedroom, he did not instruct one of his most ambitious lieutenants, Lieutenant Radet, to kidnap the Pope,” but then it goes on to say that “Pius VII was a prisoner.” So if Napoleon did not order Lt. Radet to kidnap the pope, then how was the pope made prisoner? Bwrs (talk) 04:21, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
