Lol.

As Far as Karl Franz, I have not read the fluff. I would suggest viewing the fluff surrounding him as perhaps him having a really good propaganda publicist. The Empire needs a uniting figure, one that appears infallible, whether Karl Franz IS all the things the codex fluff says he is or not, does not matter, it is what was written and it is what the people (of the Empire) believe.
(I am trying to see things from a fluff perspective for answering this. I equate the Empire in Fantasy, roughly to the Holy Roman Empire in the 14th Century. It was heresy to question the Church, the Church appointed the Holy Roman Emperor, therefore, the Holy Roman Emperor could do no wrong. )
