Pope disappeared, Papal State doesn't exist

[Kmab]

Hi,

Papal state disappeared in my game.
The eldest son of my king was elected pope. After my king's death, he inherited the kingdom and became new king. All Papal State provinces was incorporated to my country. New pope wasn't elected, but papal controller was elected (sic!). When I take a look to a picture of new papal controller, there is no sign of it (cross). My game settings: royal preorgatory, royal supremacy and salic primogeniture

You can see this same thing happen if you annex Papal State militarily. Though it might be that your guy is considered Pope now, so when he dies they will elect a new pope.
