DOTF should be allowed to always call allies in

[delpiero1234]

The DOTF should, like the Emperor of the HRE, always be allowed to call his allies into a defensive war. I get constantly called into defensive wars but I never get to call my allies in and since there are no more cascading alliances, this is even more important.

It feels like that would make wars even more unnecessarily large and would be problematic, since the declare war screen gives you no information on which allies of allies/emperor/etc. would join. The defender of the faith is someone who is supposed to be strong enough to deal with things by himself.
If you want to allow the defender of the faith to call his allies, you should at least make them very unlikely to join.

If small OPM which is allied to big Muscovy and Hungary declares war on Catholic Genoa who has no allies and calls DOTF into war then the DOTF should be allowed to call his allies into the war just like the OPM.

If you were allied to Genoa the normal way, you also couldn't call your allies, so why should you be allowed to, if are "allied" as defender of the faith?
Besides that, by becoming defender of the faith you are making a claim, the claim that you (by yourself) are strong enough to protect the faith. If you are not, then just don't become defender of the faith. That simple.

I don't want to see nonsense like a money-fleeced DotF Catholic Oldenburg bringing in France when the Ottomans declare on Ragusa. The requisite purpose of the title is a powerful nation protecting its faith, not "lol I have 500 ducats and good allies...let's just call in even non-members of my faith in a distant war because reasons" .
