how to stop the anti papal wars

[ropestring3]

its so annoying... literally constant, if you have an anti pope, no matter how many times you win, the pope will keep making random kings attack you. How to stop them, other then just annexing the pope?

REALLY? You made an Anti-Pope and you are complaining about the pope getting people to attack you???

You took some bishop, said that he is the real pope and the guy in rome an impostor, splitting the church... OFC they are attacking you.
Don't make an anti-pope unless you want to see it through and make him the official pope.

no need to be so rude.

I am aware that when i make anti pope, there will be anti pope wars. the problem is:

1. anti papal wars ignore truces - so the same guy can attack me literally endlessly, as long as he keeps asking the pope to get crowned
2. the ai, despite being way weaker then me, will seemingly always say yes to the pope's request (even if they are half a continent away, making the war drag out needlessly)
3. i didnt set up the anti pope. i conquered land with an antipope, which caused him to become my antipope. the only way I know how to get rid of him is to surrender, but I dont want to lose so much prestige and piety.

don't be a presumptious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ next time

Well, even still, galadon's point still stands. Deal with the situation, its not the kind of thing which is supposed to hang in suspension.
Depose your anti-pope or depose the pope-pope. That's all you can do.

just go to the next level and denounce both the pope and anti-pope, become a heretic, fraticelli is exactly the same as catholicism and you get holy war cb on everything in europe.

and annexing the pope wont fix this, the dude gets a titular title and will continue to be annoying.

edit cause my homie really got banned for saying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ wtf

Most problems in CK2 have a simple solution: assassination. Kill the pope. Or kill the anti-pope. Or both. Whatever suits you.
