Formal Act of Indictment

To Those Involved in The Disorder of 1572

 

Et Sermo Meus Non Putrescet

 

NEEDFULLY ENACTED

BY HIGH EXARCH

BISHOP YAROSLAV CARDINAL VASILIEV,

THE AMBER COLD, 1572

 

---

 

Foreword.

    In the early days of Horen the Lord our God did communicate his law. This Divine Revelation is stored within the Holy Scrolls of the Canon, and has been obeyed by humanity since its date of inception. In accordance with the traditions of our predecessors, and the law of God, it is our intent to speak out against emerging heresies that would obstruct what God wishes for humanity. On the 17th of the Amber Cold, 1572,  in the Basilica of St. Thomas a group of rebels engaged in “diplomacy” within the holy site. They, in order to obstruct the reach of others who might have sook to impede on their “diplomacy” - several rebels - did block the entrance to the Basilica from the outside. This did not only obstruct the reach of those from outside that perhaps wished to impede on their discussion, but as was stated outside of the Basilica it did obstruct prayer within the holy site. When questioned as to their barring of the church from others, those rebels who blocked the church decided to criticize myself, and attempted to engage in a theological debate. This event is known as “The Disorder of 1572” for naming purposes before the court of cardinals.  

 

Charge I. Obstruction of Faithful Worship

 

    By blocking faithful on their way to pray within the Basilica, those involved in The Disorder of 1572 are charged with Obstruction of Faithful Worship.

 

Charge II. Injury to the Faith

 

    During the confrontation I, Bishop Yaroslav Cardinal Vasiliev, had with the group of rebels they criticized me, as a man of Raev heritage, for worshiping within a church of the Heartlanders. By doing this they not only disrespected the holiness of the Basilica of St. Thomas, they also disrespected the Church of the Canon as a whole. By disrespecting the authority of the True and Holy Church of the Canon those rebels who participated in The Disorder of 1572 are charged with Injury to the Faith.

 

Charge III. Heresy

 

    After the rebels disrespected the integrity of the Basilica of St. Thomas they once again criticized the Heartlanders due to their calling of God, “The Creator.” This is no doubt one of the most comical and absurd claims I have ever heard. The Raev refer to God as Godani or Godan, the Heartlanders refer to God as God, or “The Creator.” It makes no difference what title  is assigned to God by different ethnic groups. Do they deny that Godani or God is the Creator of the Seven Skies by their ridiculing of the title “The Creator?” This does appear to be so, I believe this claim to be particularly ridiculous because earlier - that same day - that one of the rebels made this claim, the High Pontiff  Sixtus IV referred to God as Godani and Godan. For potentially degrading the authority of God, leaving others to infer that he is not the Creator of all, and due to their lack of acceptance for other names of God the rebels are charged with Heresy.
