What can I do to force passing of absolute crown authority?

I'm a huge empire with about 1100 holdings but everyone "loves me". I have positive opinions in all ~140 of my vassals but my passing of law is stuck a 100/400 (meaning 300 opposing votes).
Is it even possible to pass it at my stage?

Is it possible to join a Heresy movement? My first game saw me obliterated by a Catholic Heresy army. Is there a way to throw my hands up and proclaim I've seen the light so please don't burn down my castle and drag me screaming from the ruins?

family members in prison dont give decaence right?

No they don't also characters out of your diplomacy range don't give you decadence so banishing sometimes works as well.

No currently only unreformed pagans can convert to the attackers religion when they are attacked in a holy war. Still on my opinion there should be an option for atleast cynics to be able to change their religion to one of its heresies if attacked by them in a holy war.

Basic advice is to let the time pass they will change their vote at some point usually.

not much. people wont like absolute CA. but dont roget, it only counts for de jure area's and all positive opinions doesnt say much. pretty much everyone over 60 would make it weird, but those that do love you already seem to have voted for you

Is there a Stephen on the dev team? Cuz I have a Stephen of Abu Hadi as my court chaplain. And he's English. And the English culture doesn't exist.

This is an instance of a (particularly weird) bug. English characters are created and banished by people of other religions at times and places English people shouldn't be (eg. Bjarmia, or Afghanistan, in 910)

There is an event that creates a english cultured character that has no limitations of what year it can happen or does not check if there is english characters in game so it can cause an english character to appear when the english culture is not created yet.

Which event is it ( got event Id number ?) and why do they spawn in Persia and why so many at the same time ???

Please reveal the event to me. I'm curious.

Here's a something I've been wondering:

Are the names of new holdings you build randomized? Or are they set for each county?

Does declaring a Holy War or being attacked by a foreign power help pass Absolute Crown Authority? I just attacked Poland and noticed they passed Absolute Crown Authority right after I declared war. I presume it helps by increasing vassal opinion, much as a Holy War does.

I believe that when you're in a defensive war the vassals get a bonus to their opinion of their liege. It was part of Paradox's attempt to help reduce blobbing; the defender can call up more of their levies than normal since his vassals like him more. But I would assume that this would effect the vassal's willingness to vote in favour of increading crown authority.

I don't think it would be ahistorical - It seems nations do gravitate towards centralization, and people more willing to tolerate absolute rule, when under a military threat. Freedom sort of loses its value when you're main concern is not getting massacred.
