Yo, do you guys have trouble with becoming the Pope in 1.33 beta?
I started several games and somehow the Papal State manages to invest around 100 Papal Influence in the first few years.
It's a bug, right?

They get papal investment every time they manually appoint a cardinal (which gives a truce and opinion buff with the receiving nation). I'm assuming that's why they get so much invested in the first couple years.

The Papal States actually doesn’t invest. It’s done automatically and I am not sure how it is calculated.

Yes, it is done automatically by the game. As far as I know, it is calculated as same as other Catholic countries:
  1. base incrase, it is +0.5 per month
  2. devoutness idea from religious idea set, +2 per month
  3. number of controlled cardinals by Papal State, +1 per month per cardinal (yes, Papacy can have cardinals)
  4. They get papal investment every time they manually appoint a cardinal (which gives a truce and opinion buff with the receiving nation)
When these are combined together, Papal State can build up influence pretty quickly
