desc = "Portuguese Catholics introduced Christianity into the territories they dominated along the western coast of Africa, yet missionaries also penetrated inland kingdoms, such as Angola. In the powerful realm of Kongo, a king was baptized in 1491. He rapidly repudiated the implications of this alien rite, but his son, baptised as Afonso, identified himself with Christianity. On his father's death (c. 1506), Afonso seized the throne, and before his own death in 1540, Catholicism had become a distinguishing, legitimising feature of his dynasty."

The stability increase in option A was added because there is no evidence that this conversion completely destabilized the kingdom, and the stability will still drop some.

desc = "Hoping to increase royal influence over the church in Kongo, Alvaro II, a grandson of Afonso, sent his close relative, Antonio Vieira, to Lisbon in 1594 to negotiate the creation of a separate diocese for Kongo. His request raised few if any difficulties in Rome or Madrid, where Philip II of Spain was also king of Portugal since 1580. It was agreed that the expenses of the diocese would be met by Portugal and to a lesser extent by Kongo itself, while the bishops would be nominated by the Portuguese crown which thus retained the rights of ecclesiastical patronage granted to it by the papacy in the fifteenth century."

Jesus, she claimed having learned from St. Anthony, was a black Kongolese, born in the Kongolese capital of São Salvador. She founded a church in São Salvador, which became very popular, but that invited criticism from the Catholic Church because she used traditional African religious practices that had been condemned by the European Catholic priests. She was burnt at the stake for heresy in 1706, on the order of Pedro IV of Kongo."

I would also suggest changing Kongo's religion to "catholic" in all scenarios post-1492, as well changing the religion in province 1506 to "catholic" in those scenarios.
Additionally, Kongo should probably have knowledge of the provinces of Tago/Lisbon (441), Castilla/Madrid (436), and Roma (399) in all post-1492 scenarios because of their sending diplomats to the king of Spain and Portugal as well to the pope.
