Getting rid of the pope

[Xiphias]

Is there any easy way to disable the pope or will I have to go through all the files and remove any reference to FN_PAPIST?

I have no easy answer. If you can accept the inacuracy, you could do as I've heard some other do - place the pope in finland and remove all their borders (land and sea).

He's now not going to start a rampage - he's not going to cause the collapse of the Italians and/or Sicilians, and you still get the excoms for agressive behavior.

I never tried it though.

I'm making a new campaign so I'm not bothered about historical accuracy.

Is it possible to 'see' into the sahara normally?

In the Napoleonic mod, there doesn't seem to be a pope. You could try and ask them how they did it.
