Can't renounce Iconoclasm?

[Foamybeard]

Good evening y'all. I recently decided to start a game as the Byzantine Empire in 769, but I'm encountering a few... Issues. I can't stand Iconoclasm, and I want to renounce it, but there is no option to do so - Only 'Abandon Heresy', and that doesn't get rid of the Iconoclast Patriarchy.

I'm wondering if I'm missing something? Is anyone else having this issue?

stop being a zealot.

take scholar focus, build an observatory and wait for events.
or let konstantinos die, and take the decision with leon.

That would be sensible, yes, but sadly, for some reason I can't figure out, the option to renounce it and restore the Orthodox Patriarchy isn't there. This has been going on for me since Conclave was released.
I'm wondering if it is a mod conflict.. I'll need to check.

If the start date is 769, I'd assume the reason you can't restore the Orthodox Patriarchy is because you're playing Pre-Schism and it'd make sense for the dev team of the mod to make sure the decision/event checks for that condition so the Orthodox faith doesn't just spontaneously appear out of thin air before the Schism occurs.

You have a conflict/bug somewhere. I just did this a couple days or so ago on version Zeus 2 with no problems. I had to lose the Zealous trait first and was then able to renounce Iconoclasm.
