what to do with the pope?????

[Roark]

1. Take and keep anything the Pope owns except for Rome and the Papal States.
2. Invade and sack the Papal States.
3. Withdraw from the Papal States and wait until the Pope retakes it.
4. Take and keep Rome for yourself (as it has a pretty decent income).
5. Leave His Holiness to wallow around in 150 florins per year.
6. Start attacking your real enemies.

One time playing as HRE The Pope re-emerged, took over Rome, Papal States and then Naples. I evacuated main two provinces when he re-emerged. Some turns later he invaded Sardinia. Then I sunk his fleet, kicked him off of the mainland (his halberdiers got me good) and captured him in Naples(dug his pocket). I was the biggest catholic at the time so I didn't have fellow catholics to fight. It was kinda pointless cus it was almost 1453 but still quite a fun experience. Somehow Pope will try to take over the world sooner or later. I gotta react quickly.
