I'm genuinely interested in how this happened. I've been playing this game for a very very long time, and never seen a feudal Empire turn Theocracy before. They own a substantial amount of land as well, well.. all of the byzantine empire really.
Byzantine Empire turned Theocracy.. how?

There appears to be certain bugs in the government system. For an example some characters who are listed as feudal or theocracies will when they're granted landed titles (atleast castles) become majors instead of counts.
Maybee this is the same thing for theocracies, a character who the game thinks is feudal and thus cna be installed by factions, is somehow a theocracy and thus turns the empire to a theocracy.

It's a known bug. The Ecumenical Patriarch becomes Emperor after a successful overthrow revolt.

Bug or not I really like it. I hope they don't ever fix it. One day seeing that the whole Orthodox church took over the Byzantine Empire are those odd twists I play Crusader Kings II for!
Anyway thanks for the replies!

It happened in a game I was playing many patches ago (most of them nerfed Blobs) that the Byzantine theocracy spread to the steppes and India. Their furthest holding was in Sindh or Baluchistan I think. I was fighting them as India.
It is funny in the beginning but the purple blob becomes super stable and never returns to a normal feudal realm. I never had it in all my 2.5 games so far but a similar thread pops up every month.

Well it is what happened in the west, the emperors lost power and the church filled the void.
Known bug. Theocratic vassals can lead the relevant type of faction. I don't mind it, but I'd prefer to see theocracies become less stable in some way or another.
