Seize the Clerical Region

Take the Clerical Region your capital lies in, deposing its Archbishop if the seat is not vacant

My own capital lies within a Clerical Region I do not hold. No Archbishop should sit over the seat I rule from: that Title belongs with the Head of Faith.

Requirements

The game shows no text of its own for these conditions; the script is below.
