is it worth annexing the papal state?

[Raxo]

instead of having them as a vassal? i'm a catholic btw. i guess i can take advantage of the subjecation of papacy.

[Yaldabaoth]

No, you get a massive penalty if you vassalize or conquer Rome (unless you are Italy).

[captain403]

Turn protestant or reformed and then vassalise/annex.

[football5680]

Annexing them gives you a -10 yearly papal influence and -1 diplomatic reputation. Subjugating them gives you -2 diplomatic reputation. There is really no advantage unless you are Italy or plan to become Italy.

[Aaronthelemon]

Imo unless you have outrageously high diplo rep you dont mind sacrificing for 200+ constant papal relation, its not worth it.

Doing this as France can be worth it though.

They are my vassal as Bzyantnum, will there be any penalty if i annex ?

As long as you are not catholic, it's all good.
