If you reign in the Italian states there should be an Imperial incident about it.

If the Pope decides to stay out of the Empire then you'll have to convince him of his error of judgement and relieve him of Rome for a bit. Once you have cored and added the province to the Empire you should be able to return Rome to the Pope and have the Papal States in the HRE. Make sure that the Pope doesn''t have any other territory elsewhere before returning Rome.

Be friends with him while a catholic emperor.

Keeping Italy in the HRE and winning the religious war possible help too, not sure about those though. May also help if he's relatively weak, so don't let him expand too much either. Then just wait.

Or the old method might still work, conquer all his stuff, core it, add it the empire and then release him.
