However keep in mind I'd have no idea how'd you defeat the pope. Even if you conquer papal states, the pope would still have his three nominee's all from different nations and the cardinals. I would think his chain of command should and would have authority to take back his land. Which would mean until you conquered every cathoilic nation you wouldn't be safe.

I don't think the catholic factions though should just go, "oh you just killed leader of my faith well that's fine i'll just continue life as usual."


Taking on the man with the pope hat has consequences (or at least it should)
I just had a horrifying thought...

Maybe the Papal faction will be able to go Horde!!!

Can you picture it now, conquoring the Papal lands would unleash the Pope's Horde - hard coded to retake the Papal Lands!!!
