Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
When the Papacy is destroyed via the Decision, Catholicism changes Doctrines from "Spiritual Head of Faith" to "No Head of Faith". However, when the decision to Restore the Papacy is taken Catholicism gets a new Pope but it does not get back the Spiritual Head of Faith doctrine.

Having the Spiritual Head of Faith Doctrine is what makes possible for Characters to Ask the Head of Faith for Money and/or Claims. Possibly affects Excommunication too, as it requires a Spiritual Head of Faith.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
1. Take the decision to Destroy the Papacy.
2. Take the decision to Restore the Papacy.
3. Look at the Catholicism Faith page.
4. See that the Head of Faith is set as "None", even if there is a Pope.
5. As a Catholic Character try to Ask for Money or for a Claim.
6. See that that those interactions are not available.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?
In the Savegame attached I have reproduced the issue.
In the Screenshot you can see that the Head of Faith doctrine is set to "None". "Nadie" in Spanish is "None".

I have attached a save game
Yes
