Challenge: Catholicism, Autocracy and Populism

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to make Catholicism the established religion of Muscovy/Russia, as well as the most widespread in the state, with a POD no earlier than 1550. It's your choice whether it would be Roman or Greek Catholicism.

The title of the thread is a reference to this.
 
Well, it's more likely to be Greek Catholic, or a derivative thereof.

As for how, I'm not sure...

Didn't Eastern Rite Catholicism only emerge in minority groups, who wanted more autonomy, religious-wise? :confused:
 
The obvious starting point for this would be a more successful Poland during the Time of Troubles.
