New factions?

I don't think you'd actually need the "pope" faction slot - Jihad in M2 doesn't make use of it, even though it functions in a similar manner to crusades. -M

Yeah, depending what they decide to use these labels... Catholic, Orthodox, Islam, Pagan, and Heretic.....

Crusades need a papal faction as you need to ask somone to call one, jihads are done through agents and so don't need to do this.

I know, that's why I said they only specifically ruled out crusades as a feature. They have left open the possibility of using jihads.
