Rite Fix
Fixes "Rite" religious tenet to keep your existing Head of Faith as described in the tooltip.
The cause of the problem is that, without this fix, the Rite tenet causes the game to set the new religion’s head of faith to that of the old religion… but then overwrites it anyway by creating a new spiritual Head of Faith if doing so is possible, like with normal non-Rite faith creation.
The create religion screen will still insist a new Head of Faith will be created, but it will keep your old Head of Faith as described instead of erroneously overriding it with a new title.
Please note that this is just a bug fix mod. I know some people will intentionally keep Holy Sites so they can create a faith with the Rite tenet, keep Ecumenism, but have their own Head of Faith. This mod changes that behavior because that behavior is a bug. Whether or not that should be possible to achieve as a player is subjective and rather a different discussion. In short, this mod fixes the Rite tenet to work as written, by fixing a bug known to the Paradox team, and decisions about how it "should" function are a bit out of scope here. You can feel free to not use this mod if you want to use the bugged tenet behavior to create your own Head of Faith while retaining Ecumenism.
Also, as of version 1.1, prevents faiths with Rite from using "Restore Head of Faith" decision in order to create a new Pope who is not Catholic, especially after the Papacy is dismantled.
