The comment above it in the file

Picked title only chooses the see, then create_clerical_region fills from that county's de jure kingdom
The lowest tier decides who may petition, not how large the region ends up

What it checks

If
- $PETITIONER$ ?= { has_government = ecclesiastical_government }
Then
- Title tier at least County
Otherwise
- Title tier at least Duchy
is_landless_type_title = no
Is not the Head of Faith
title_capital_county = { … }
