Christian immersion mod

Do you ever feel murder is somehow worse than being lefthanded? Do you ever feel that the pope should have denied you that divorce? Do you like heresies? If all above is yes then this may be the mod for you!

The purpose of the mod is to increase immersion when playing as a christian or interacting with christians. I want the mod to be historically accurate and true to canon law.

- Observe Lent, go to confession and celebrate Easter
- Holy Unction
- Exorcisms
- First communion
- Confirmation

- Childhood initiation and Khawendar feast for yarsans
- Pious cathars can divorce their spouse and become celibate

- Judaizers (miaphysite): Judaizers are miaphysite christians observing many of the mosaic laws. They are based on the Ethiopian Tawhedo Church and are led by the Abuna. Unlike other heretics they can always join their monastic society.
- Mandeans (miaphysite): Mandeanism is a non-christian religion claiming to follow John the Baptist. Unlike christians they allow polygamy. If HF-dlc is active they can determine zodiac signs. A religious head can be founded by their priesthood if certain conditions are meet.
- Chaldeans (nestorian): Chaldeans are schismatic Nestorians, but influenced by catholicism. They are led by their patriarch.
- Apollinarians (nestorian): Apollinarians have very similar practices as the nestorians, but the christology is different. They are led by their catholicos.
- Adoptionists (catholic): The adoptionist religious practices are similar to standard Catholicism, but the Christology is different. Any independent king can form the adoptionist religious head, but it will disband if landless.
- Free Spirits (catholic): The free spirits was a low church denomination holding ideas involving panteism, antinomianism and quitism. It has no religious head.
- Barlaamites (orthodox): The Barlaamites are very similar to orthodox but influenced by scholasticism. If they control Constantinople they can take over the Ecumenical Patriarchate and hold synods to convert the orthodox.
- Yarsans (sunni): Yarsanism (Ahle-Haqq) is related to yazidism, and very different from standard islam. It has no religious head but their own religious caste.
- Secret societies have been added for all new religions.

- Reworked religious head calculation regarding excommunication and when you demand stuff
- Pious religious heads are more objective, and less influenced by their personal opinions and whether they are vassals or not (unless a loyal servant)
- Bad religious heads no longer reward people for being evil but are much more influenced by their personal opinions and their liege than pious religious heads
- The Pope can demand that characters burn harmful books, but may also grant dispensations to keep them
- Waldensians and Jain cannot burn heretics during the hunt apostate events
- The Barlaamites and Adoptionists start without a religious head but can form one, but it may also be destroyed
- Unlanded ecclesiarchs can be appointed as religious heads (unless you have access to antipopes)

- Reworked divorce conditions for individual religions in accordance with canon law
- Divorces are harder for catholics and miaphysites, but easier for most other christians
- Cousin marriages are disabled for many christian religions

- If a diplomatic and learned catholic is emperor of Byzantium, Abyssinia or the Restored Roman Empire after 1059 the Council of Florence might happen. This may convert miaphysite and orthodox characters and counties. This is based the historical Council of Florence.
- A powerful Monothelite Emperor controlling Constantinople and Alexandria may Hold a Council converting many orthodox and miaphysites to Monothelitism. This is based on the attempts of Emperor Heraclius and his successors to reunite the copts with the Byzantine state Church.
- If the Barlaamites have a Patriach and controls Constantinople they may hold synods converting orthodox to Barlaamism. If the orthodox regain Constantiople they may hold counter-synods converting barlaamists to orthodox. This is based on the historical anti-palamist/anti-barlaamist synods in Constantinople during the 14th century.
- The Byzantine emperor may choose to massacre the latins in Constantinople under special circumstances. This is based on the massacre of the latins in 1182.

No DLC required, but I’d recommend using them.
Incompatible with most mods that change religions, such as HIP, CK+, Ancient Religions Reborn and Rise of Islam. If you want improved genetics, use this version: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1834220092
