His Holiness JUDE I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Metropolitan of Rhodesia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Pilgrim to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD doth decree…

Brethren in Almighty GOD,

 

For hundreds of years, the Holy Canonist Faith has persisted in the face of severe persecutions, long-lasting heresies, major schisms, and assault from malevolent spirits who seek the destruction of truth in this realm.

 

Be well assured dear children that the fruit of the tree of virtue, the Faith which the Holy Canonist Church has shepherded for these many years, shall not rot. Instead, with the promulgation of this text, let it triumph. Let schism and usurpation be quelled. Let future attempts to undermine the Divine Ordainment of the Canonist Church be shut down through the clear authority of the Holy Scrolls and Sacred Tradition of Holy Mother Church.

 

Brethren in GOD, it is known to us as Faithful Canonists and devout attendants to the Holy Scrolls - the Most Exalted Canon - that the Prophet Owyn, whom the High Pontiff is the successor, established the first hierarchy of the Holy Church of GOD through his ordination of the brothers Saint Evaristus and Saint Clement.  The Exalted Prophet Owyn, to whom our veneration is well-placed, entrusted the pair as shepherds to humanity  in the form of Episcopates. This Great Commission by the Prophet to Sts. Evaristus and Clement is where the entire office of the episcopacy can be traced, an office that has persisted since the foundations of our Faith.

 

Recently, it has come to the attention of myself that an Investiture Crisis is in the works which would utterly undermine the authority of the Successor of the Exalted in setting shepards over Humanity. In turn, this would lead many astray from the Apostolic Succession of Holy Mother Church as those elevated to administrative ranks relating to the clergy can only attain their power by he who derives his power from GOD to do so, the High Pontiff - as Inheritor of the Spiritual Authority of the Exalted.

 

Therefore, let it be known that as of the solemn promulgation of this text, all those who toy with the flirtation of - or seek the elevation of directly - an administrative figure [1] outside of the episcopacy of equal status and duty  [2] or within a quasi-episcopacy ordained and enthroned by one with no Apostolic Jurisdiction shall be rightly chastised and if necessary, rightfully amputated from the Communion of Holy Mother Church and the society of all Canonists.

 

There will come a time when the Great Enemy of Humanity, and all those under GOD, shall emerge from the chains and shadows that have kept him shackled. There will come a time when the merciful men and women of Terra will be slain and overtaken by the yolk of sin and the physical manifestation of it. At this time, a false priesthood will rise and lead those who cling to it to perdition. Look not away from the Light of GOD, the Holy Canonist Church - for in placing one’s spiritual inheritance in the trust of any wordly organization outside of the Canonist Church, one is detaching themselves from the foundation established by GOD to keep them free from the yolk of the Defiler. My dear children, there will come a time when all hope is lost and the destruction of all we know as a people is before us, but our Faith shall never end. This Faith which has lasted since the inception of the Human race shall not falter. There are yet faithful even when those who are devout are assailed by the many tribulations to come, there will see be preachers, there will still be congregants, and there will still be great rulers who will triumph through their Faith in GOD and HIS Church. All of our enemies shall be defeated by our Faith, for our Faith is a piercing blade in the face of the enemies of GOD.

 

Therefore, all of you who harken onto the commandment of GOD and seek to live a life of purity, virtue, and zealousness I humbly entreat you- take heed to the words of your Pontiff and Most Holy College of Bishops.

 

May Almighty GOD free you from the confines of lesser-thinking men in order for you to grasp the Sacred Theology here displayed. May HE who commissioned the Holy Scrolls intercede for us and enlighten us with great wisdom both now and forever. LORD, Lead us to an increase in our understanding of YOUR will. Amen.

SANCTI APOSTOLI EVARISTUS ET CLEMENS: DE QUORUM POTESTATE ET AUCTORITATE CONFIDIMUS, IPSI INTERCEDANT PRO NOBIS AD DOMINUM.

 

☩ IN NOMINE PATRIS, et Horenus, et Exaltus Honorem. Amen.

 

 

REJOICE! GOD’S FAITHFUL TOIL NO LONGER.

[Archbishop 1784]

"Deus Vult!" exclaims Walter, sharpening his sword.

[Malaral Hedeki 21]

DEUS VULT!

[FashionBeard 268]

Absurd actions have taken place and they follow with consequence i'd wager, let us hope an ignorant mistake and see thing resolved or fought under the all mighty gods gaze.
He who fights against truth has lived a lie, may our enemies be tangled into the web of lies.

[Abeam 511]

"Whatcha'll gonna do when yer' town ain't got ah' priest who'll actually do 'is job though!  Ya'll say we done-got ah' priest but where th' hecks' he been?  Ya'll appointed somebody for us, but we ain't seen him do no preachin' n' ah' year now, do ya'lls damn job!"

Says an Adrian smith, tired of the upper-level politics at the expense of the communities of the faithful, whom just want to have a priest at all.
