Destroying the Papacy?

[Minuvas]

Can someone explain why as a christian kingdom, with a majority (if not all) of your provinces are Christian would you destroy the papacy if you conquered their province(s)?

Can someone please mod it so you have the option to disestablish it or not, I would think a christian kingdom that controls the Papal province would be able to take control of the church and even appoint their knights as the pope. Also, when one of my knights was a pope, I was unable to call for a crusade.

I think there needs to be a religious mod, with the ability for players with the pope to call for crusades, and people who control the papal province be able to appoint cardinals and the pope.

(The military strength of the Papacy would obviously be increased, and these would only imply if you had a christian kingdom)

I am thinking that the Papacy is probably a hard-coded part of the game.

If it was a moddable part, then I am sure Elvain or Angryminer would have changed it already.

You can call for a crusade when you control the pope by clicking on your marshal's portrait, and there will be a button to call for a crusade
