So I was playing an HRE game and successfully stomped out all the centers of reformation, I was in the middle of converting the last holdout of heresy in the Empire when the League War started and leadership of the Protestants went to Provence, where it was quickly joined by Russia, Denmark and the Ottomans. Of which, only Provence is Protestant (and it is actually the last protestant province in Europe).
I get that the League War is often less about religion and more about politics and diplomacy, but I find it a bit ridiculous for it to be a league war when no member of the HRE is part of the opposing league.
This wouldn't be a problem as I don't really care if they form some sort of grand coallition against my HRE, but the problem is, I can't pass any reforms.
Now I understand why I can't pass reforms normally in this case, with such strong opposition within the empire it would be difficult to call a diet. But here there is literally zero opposition within the empire, and I'm still barred from passing reforms. It's like when a coallition forms in France making it so they can't pass stuff like the Edict of Nantes. It makes no sense at all that this "League War" could bar the emperor of a completely loyal and purely Catholic Empire from passing reforms.
I've had Imperial Authority on 100 for close to 20 years now and it's just frustrating since Provence will never attack me to start the war and I have to wait a few more years to end the war by event.
TLDR: If there are no members of the HRE in the Protestant League, the emperor shouldn't be barred from passing reforms.
