Well since the Papal State can switch to another theocratic nation within the HRE I would say that it's highly probable.

The requirements for the HRE are a bit bugged, empires bigger then the emperor's one shouldn't be accepted (atleast thats in the code), but they get accepted pretty often. I suggest you keep trying.

Well, I've done it many times. You can not be larger than the emperor though (this is bugged so might happen anyway)

Is there someone with a modded version of the script so the Emperor is willing to accept you on relationship terms or whatever.
It just doesn't seem right that the they wouldn't want new ground in their dying empire.

The emperor keeps denying my request to let Rome in HRE.

Is there a requirement/chances I can see in txt files?
Yes, they're in HRE event file, IIRC. The size restriction doesn't work, just keep trying, if that's your only issue. But you still need a very low badboy and good relations with the emperor.

And there's still a random element, but I think it's around 33%, if I'm recalling experimentation correctly.

Seems a proper starting strategy too, it'll allow you to expand into the HRE without the Emperor getting on your back too much.
Yeah, I was thinking about playing a Papal State game, and looking at the missions it seems like getting into the HRE would be a vital early move so the emperor won't defend Ferrara (and the Ferrara mission has to be finished before you can get the Urbino mission to connect your territory).

Theoretically a hereditary emperor could switch to a theocracy and then annex/otherwise eliminate the Papal State (and any other theocracies as needed) to become the Papal State.
