Hello guys, i know this may be a frequent question, but i have not found a good answer to my doubts.
So here is the thing, I recently started a campaign as the byzantines in late era and I just conquered a good amount of sicily´s territories, and as a consequence, the papal states is my new neighbor. Know, I know that if I attack a number of christian factions and dont bribe or try to keep the pope happy I will get crusaded to hell, but what happens if I engage in war directly with the Pope? do I get a crusade on constantinople the next turn? and if I manage to conquer rome and keep it, will the Pope call a crusade there? cant I low key bribe him off my back like with the other factions?
I dont know if this is the correct forum for posting this question and i apologize if that is the case
