Time for a new game, start off with a custom ruler, give him the excommunicated trait cause I know I can get rid of that easy, and it buys me some age back, start the game, I can't get unexcommunicated, it says I am a heritic, check my religion I have the catholic cross. Re-create character, restart game same problem, scroll over the cross... Catholic (Orthodox Hersey). Start on two different book marks, same thing, download the patch, fixed!
