That's why I don't play with Conclave or Way of Life.Not so different from when vassals with highly positive opinion join factions trying to overthrow you or curtail your power if you ask me...
Factions are fine without Conclave, in my mind, and I generally find the council irritating - ie. you'll get situations where you win a war and have too many counties in your demesne, which angers the council, but you can't give the land away because the council is angry.
