I like how while talking about having good relations with the pope you show Henry IV

[pityko]

He is your best friend, until you want to conquer Rome. Sorry Pope I need Rome for my reunited Italy decision

The pope out here acting like a sugar daddy

[alex_erazo]

This gave me an idea. A pope simulator game where your decisions shape the landscape of geopolitics in the ancient world!

[finnlake]

But do you know what is greater than being on good terms with the Pope? Being the pope

[Gseppo]

He can’t be my friend if I am him. (Schemes in CK3 byzantine)

Hey btw, if you start playing as orthodox you can still ask daddy patriarch for cash, but he's a lot more poor and sometimes makes a big fuss about it if youre wealthy.

Excommunication can help with bad vassals

[southpaw]

I did not know you could start a war off of excommunication, good to know. Onwards with the empire of Francia!

[ZunamiRevert]

Me being the player that completely dismantled the papacy as soon as I warmonger my way into the Vatican lol

[muratonuryilmaz]

In one of my games as Mathilda of Tuscany Pope was my best friend and father of one of my childs father, you can say my characters child was a blessing from god

[AHersheyHere]

Bonus: If you are Insular, you can still ask for gold but, you cannot join crusades.
While you can't recruit the Catholic Holy Orders, you can start your own and they won't be off fighting petty wars in Estonia.

Imprisoning and then vanishing your bishop is also a great way to make money since they often have a lot of them but no family to defend them.

[nachibtalib]

Somehow the pope became my best friend in one of my recent runs and I kept getting really bad bishops so I would get them excommunicated, imprison them, and execute them until I finally got a good one

[matheusexpedito]

Vassal: just as much as thinks of me as a bad person
*EXCOMMUNICATION IT IS*

[Rockstar-bqfm]

You can also get you’re vassals excommunicated to have a legitimate reason for a title revocation with no tyranny. Good if you need to land some sons or that one vassal is getting a little too powerful

[ErtaiCZ]

Remember when the pope tried to do that to Bohemia? Silly crusaders...

[yetipotato]

What a funny idea that pope gives you money for piety instead of the normal you giving money to feel pure

[TakitowSpice]

Excommunication also makes murder schemes A LOT easier

[whiteink]

I love using the papcy as my personal piggy bank
