eh, why are people hysterical about Inquisiters?

[Koval]

I recently decided to start a French campaign, and within the first dozen or so turns three Inquisitors waltzed in and camped themselves between my biggest cities burning my priests and generals. There was nothing i could do, as their piety was quite high, and when the HRE invaded, i couldn't send any of my generals to lead my armies, as they were in my Western cities, and moving them would mean crossing Inquisitor country, which would result in an almost certain burning.
Oh, and not too long ago I had a dream in which i was being chased by an Inquisitor, and as i walked i had a big green arrow in front of me. Should i consult a psychiatrist?

I do feel that you should be able to defy the inquisitors - basically they should be asking you for permission to try that character. If you refuse, you take a large hit to your standing with the pope, with a significant chance of excommunication.
