    If it were me, I'd do it and find out! I mean, it's not every day you get a chance to beat down the pope and live to tell the tale. Just have a savegame standing by in case you need to fall back on it, things could get ugly. I wouldn't expect them to though: the normal troubles catholics get are due mostly to the pope meter and excommunication. As you're not involved in all that as Byzantium, I'd expect it to be more or less like beating on any other country. You may anger his allies, but then again the catholic AI factions seem not to bother allying with the pope a lot of the time (though you'd think they should be) so even that seems like it shouldn't be very troubling.

    Yeah I'd love to do it, but who will i sell jarusalem and antioch when there will no crusade for it

    Nah i will do it eventually, I would like to see what happens next, I expect that there will divisions between the catholic factions.

    its like saying the mice will play when the cats are away

    You cannot destroy the papal states, though if you kill one pope per turn, you can eliminate the entire college of cardinals and so nullify their effects on you.

    How can you not eliminate the papal state, its basically a buch of settlements in italy, on my current campaign they consist of one settlement in italy.

    It's hardcoded into the game to survive (so that inquisitors and the like don't suddenly dissapear when you take rome; that would make things far too easy as a catholic)
