I finally restored the Pontifex Maximus after converting to Hellenism and kicking out the Byzantines. I was all prepped to start kicking ass in some holy wars, but the Pontifex is a moron. He has one county under my control, one of the holy sites of Hellenism, and he regularly declares holy wars against giant kingdoms very far away with no hope of winning. For some reason I cannot join his wars, nor can he call me into them. No one else in the world is Hellenic.
I made him independent and he does the same thing. He is always in a holy war, which he inevitably loses, plummeting the religious authority of the church. I had him assassinated and now his predecessor is doing the same thing.
Keep in mind these are NOT great holy wars which I could join, like a crusade, but merely independent holy wars he is waging himself. Is this working as intended? As I see it there is no way to prevent him from doing this.
Has anyone else restored the Pontifex and noticed similar behavior?
