I'm looking for ways to stop the Reformation (just for fun, I'm not religious). Tried forming the kingdom of god before the event starts, but no joy, the curia stays and the reformation happens as usual. I heard that restoring the pentarchy could help, but as you should be orthodox to do it, it kinda defeat the purpose of an entirely catholic europe...

Unless its changed since I've played a Catholic country, you may be able to stop it by conquering Europe really really fast, as each country can contribute to the reformation desire. Fewer countries = fewer contributions.

well, yes, you could use some exploit to revoke the privilegia and then conquer europe from there... but I was looking for a less gamey way.

It gets wonky if you restore pentarchy or form KoG pre-reformation, but eventually it still happens IIRC.

how wonky? in my game didn't change a thing. (if we talk historically, it could be argued that a strong secular papacy would have hastened the reformation, not stopped it, but still, it's a sandbox game...)

You can't stop the Reformation from occurring unless it is a MP game where country is controlled by a devout Catholic player. Sooner or later, it will occur.

So you should be focusing on ending it... that is, you should take care that all six Centers of Reformation that appear get removed (their provinces re-converted) and that Catholicism gets cemented as the only official religion of the HRE.
Then you conquer Jerusalem because why not? :p

I remember once, in an Eu3 game, trying to smother the reformation out. It saarted in denmark, my faithful ally, so i sent a fist into denmarks stomach and force them to reconvert to catholicism.

then it just kept happening, so i kept going to war.

there reformation is the big railroad of this game after revolutions and colonization, and theres no way to stop it, you can contain and cripple, but not stop
