the pope's call was answered by john sobieski, king of poland, who was put in charge of a combined force of 70000 soldiers. because of sobieski's military brilliance, they defeated an army twice their size.
in announcing his victory to the pope, the king slightly changed julius caesar's famous words by saying simply, "i came, i saw, god conquered."
