Right when you get a ticking off from the pope and told to leave you latest catholic victim alone or face excommunication does an assassination count?

i.e if i assassinate someone will that get me excommed?

Not completly sure about this one but logicaly you shouldn't be excommunated because of it unless your assassin fails, like I said not completly sure.

Unless detected, assassinations and espionage do not affect relations. However, failed assassination and espionage attempts can do that - While caught (And executed) assassins often cause radical decrease in relations (With the Pope as well, in all likelihood) and likely a war soon after.
