Lats night the Pope gave me 1000 florins! The message I got between turns said something about the pope recognising my services to the catholic faith, and granted me 1000 florins. Which is good () don't get me wrong, but the timing seems kinda weird.

It was about 2 turns after the Pope re-emerged. The reason he re-emerged was that I had wiped him out (for the second time) about 10ish turns earlier. In those 2 turns since re-emergence I'd won my long-running war with the Spanish and reduced their empire to rebels and I'd invaded Polish territory in my long running war with them. In fact, the turn before he recognised my services he'd threatened to excom me!

I haven't had this message before - anyone know what you have to do to get it? Cos I'd given Il Papa just about every reason in the book to hate me!
