This is mostly guess work but I do recall something about it…
First all those Catholic factions are headed by very jealous kings who wanted any acclaim and lands to be theirs…not someone else’s.
Deciding who should lead such an enterprise would be next to impossible.
The more important aspect may have been that they just didn’t trust the Golden Hoard.
In the end religious wars were just like any other war. A good pretence for the Nobility to take someone else’s land for their own. The fact that someone brought religion into it only made it easier to get recruits.
