Lord Spiritual Sabotages His Own Relations?

[Harle]

In the demo it is apparently possible to - if your Lord Spiritual is also a bishop - to assign him to sabotage his own relations with his spiritual leader.

This doesn't really make a lot of sense. He talks about feeding himself lies about his spiritual leader's venomous, sinful ways.

It'd be nice if there were some unique benefits to assigning your Lord Spiritual to the province that he happens to be bishop in, but in lieu of that, simply making it impossible would work too.

Just as a general life observation, if you've never screwed up a relationship by lying to yourself about the other person you're a better and happier person than me.

For role playing purposes, I think in this specific case you as lord would be assigning your trusted advisor to discuss with other bishops areas of theology as expounded by the Pope that you personally found troubling.

For game purposes, this option allows you another option besides gifting/titles to convert a bishop to supporting you with taxes and levies rather than the Pope. Also potentially handy for prepping a candidate antipope. Can't have that carefully crafted rift healed the next day because the two of them get along.

What I hate is when I send him to improve relations with himself and he fails - "you're not really trying, are you?"
