I recently played a game as Scotland in which I pretty much spent the whole game with one or two points of favor with the pope, with the remaining time spent excommunicated. I did, however, have churches in all of my towns and and kept pumping out the priests. Eventually, despite being at war with everyone, I managed to get more than half of the College of Cardinals. I assassinated the Pope and voted in my guy on the Preferati, and bam, perfect papal relations.
