If some how I converted rome to 100% Islam what would happen? if the pope comes back with a massive army, that would be terrible inaccurate on every level.

Yes it would, and I'd assume the pope would not stay around too long.
The Pope would still reappear even if the Ayatollah himself had made the Vatican his personal residence. His pain-in-the-arse-Holiness is hardcoded to show up there no matter what. It's unfortunate, but such are the limits of game coding. :shrug:
and he'd have so many troops you'd never see a religious uprising against him.Quote:

The papal re-appearances are a bad feature that you have to live with. It would have been better if he had only been allowed to come back if Rome's loyalty went below 120% and if over 60% of the population were catholic. Once the province's population had been converted there should have been no danger of him coming back again.
Right on, Cambyses. I wish that that's how it worked, too. To take another example, I've always found it frustrating as the Byz when at war with the "Italians" (Sicilians, Venetians, etc.). I would like nothing more than to just be able to conquer my way up the peninsula, but holding Rome is such a pain in the arse that it's rarely worth doing so. Oh, would that I could simply convert the local population to Orthodoxy and be done with it.... :wall:
fortunately, the XL mod provides a workaround for this (not entirely voluntarily, though): since the Pope tends to be very aggrssive and usually conquers his way into central Europe over time, you are free to grab his Italian holdings without danger of a reappearance - although Papal calls for crusades against you might become more frequent....
