Well it's RP. In the same way that we ignore the in-game calls for crusades, but can still wage one through diplomacy/RP.
Indeed, then again, the English, the Germans, the Spanish or about anyone else can invoke Papal decisions to invade their neigbors or mount a coalition against he heretics. And it would actually make more sense then for exemple the current high quantity of excoms which are pretty random.
But I'm not forcing the decision. If ppl prefer to reflect the in-game pop-o-meter with all its randomness then that's your choice.
