Christianity Tweaks
This mod tweaks aspects of some Christian faiths to be more accurate:
Apostolic Christianity — Replaced Aniconism tenet with monasticism.
Catholic Christianity (and other western churches)– Replaced Communion tenet with New Communion (exactly the same as the original communion tenet, just renamed and with a slightly different description).
Orthodox Christianity (and other eastern churches) — Tweaked Communion tenet to remove seek indulgence interaction.
Justifications:
Apostolic/Armenian Christianity was not Iconoclast, I think the reason that it has the Aniconism tenet in-game is to simulate that generally Armenian churches did not have a full Iconostasis, while other Christian faiths did, meaning that it would be cheaper to build churches, which is the in-game effect. I replaced it with monasticism because there were/are many monasteries in Armenia.
The Catholic Church did sell indulgences in the period that CK3 covers, I changed the name and description to differentiate it from the other communion tenet as historically, indulgences were not sold in the pre-schism church. So the regular communion tenet represents the more original/historical communion tenet, while the New communion tenet represents how the Catholic church and related western churches started selling indulgences. The Catholic communion tenet also applies to all western churches that originally had the communion tenet, as those churches generally submitted to the Catholic Pope and the Latin tradition.
The Orthodox Church did not sell indulgences except in a brief period in the 1600s, which is the reason why I removed the seek indulgence interaction from the communion tenet. This also affects all non-western churches with the communion tenet as those churches did not submit to the Catholic Pope or the Latin tradition.
Note: I would like to change the clerical marriage laws for some of the churches, but without more extensive modding, I can’t implement a more accurate law. The Orthodox Church and other eastern churches allow married men to become priests, but do not allow unmarried priests to marry, while the Catholic Church and other western churches do not allow married men to become priests nor do they allow unmarried priests to marry. I would like to implement this, but I have far too little modding experience to do so.
