I read often from other users here that presenting cities as gifts to the Pope (most commonly to be used as a buffer zone) works great and improves relations as well. For me, though, it's a bit odd. When I gift a city to the Pope, he thanks me on the diplomatic dialog, but as soon as I close that screen, I get the news/prompt on the left, "Relations Worsened" and my favor in the Pope's eyes drops down to ZERO crosses. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this common? I didn't see anyone else mentioning it.
