England attacks me, yet I'm threatened with Ex-com?

There are two different warnings from the pope. One is that your standing will not be as high as it was, and one that you'll be excommunicated. My experience has been that he's not kidding with the latter.

Two points:

1. I think there's at least 3 - think I've seen one that says you MAY be excommunicated.
2. My experience has been hit or miss with the excom threats. Often you can do whatever he has ordered you not to and only suffer greatly on the pope-o-meter, rather than actually be excommed. It's not pretty in any case, but I've definitely had cases where it was threatened and then failed to actually be carried out.

I´m referring to the pop-up box that appears when you´re about to carry out an aggressive act against a faction the pope wants you to hold peace with. You get that only if you got previously the warning message.
And I´ve so far always gotten away with ignoring this pop-up with only a minor loss on the pope-o-meter.

[Edit]I should add that this was the case playing on Medium campaign difficulty[/edit]

I don't believe I've ever seen that popup, but then again I usually obey the Pope.
