We then later see (possibly the same) tea being delivered to the Pope, who we can assume died from poisons in the tea. So my question is (maybe its been asked already) was the Archbishop about to committ suicide before and drink the tea, but then realized he could kill the Pope that way? Or was that just regular tea and that gave him the idea to get rid of the man who was going to clean up the Vatican?

Thanks guys, this forum is the best!

As I recall the scene the archbishop, who was in a ton of trouble was looking at the steam rising from his cup of tea, and he obviously got the idea to poison the pope by lacing his tea. In the scene where the pope is served the tea, it doesnt seem like he ordered it because whoever is giving it to him (he had to be working for the Archbishop) tells him it will help him sleep.

So you are corrrect, by looking at his own tea the archbishop got the "inspiration" to get himself out of trouble.
