Take over Senate in MTW:II?

What happens if you take over Rome where the pope stays in MTW:II? Do you get special pope powers or what?

Nope you don't. You can't destroy the Papal states either.

Well in Medieval I, the Pope usually escapes and comes back with a nasty rebel force under his command...probably best to leave central Italy alone, not worth it

so if i had the biggest army and took all the cities apart from 1 over.. then that 1 even if it had 10 men wouldnt be able to be taken over?

You can take them over, the Papal States then simply become like a rebel force.

I had all the world after a few months of play and several really frustrating set backs, never did attack the last city though, god knows why. Regret it now.

At one point I had a master assassin just sitting there every turn, assassinating the pope, and it worked! They just kept appointing a new one. Got bored after a while. I took it over, but nothing either. Lame.

Basically it moves to somewhere else. The reason given is the church asks its most favoured country for a region to become the new papal state.

Done the same to make sure the next pope was Irish. Was too easy as when a new pope was elected he had no security
