Piov 2643 Share Posted November 18, 2020 @VIROS [!] A courier arrives at the Holy Palatinate, the seat of the Holy See, to deliver a missive bearing the seal of the Bishop of Petrovic addressed to the High Pontiff. High Pontiff Saint Daniel I (r.1471-1512) and High Pontiff James II (r. 1753-) 8th of Horen’s Calling, 1795 Your Holiness James II, Grace to you and peace from the great God and His Exalted. As a faithful brother in faith, I congratulate your milestone in becoming the longest reigning Vicar of God in the recorded history of this Holy Canonist Church. On this day, you have superseded the great High Pontiff Saint Daniel I, who in his own right has been a witness to true piety and resolve for our great faith. As Your Holiness has known, the last half century has had great tumult that has shaken the faith of our flock. However, as we all understand, it is truth that prevails. It resides in the minds of men and is girded by our infinite love for all that is good. Your Pontificate has overseen a great reorientation of our Church, and not in the spirit that is contrary to our tradition, but in innovative ways that have strengthened our commitment toward advancing the scripture to the fringes of the world. Your Holiness has sponsored a great theological renaissance, beckoning our clergy to engage with the ever evolving world in novel ways, and promoting great works to reinforce the dogmatic structure of this great Church. May we continue to devote our lives to God through supplication and fidelity to one another. I pray that this letter finds you well, and know that my prayers shall perpetually be in dedication to your welfare. With fidelity and love, Fr. Benedict of Muldav, O.W.F. Bishop of Petrovic, Archdiocese of Jorenus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIROS 2915 Share Posted November 18, 2020 8th of Horen’s Calling, 1795 Your Grace Bishop Benedict, I thank you for your congratulations and kind words. I am blessed to have been given such a long tenure, which I could not have achieved without your continuing dedication and that of the priesthood as a whole. Much that has been accomplished during my reign was done not by myself, but by the able administrators and clerics of this Church. However, I am pleased you consider my contributions to their work notable. As your letter references, this is my motto: "Veritas Dei Vincit." The Truth of God prevails. I freely admit there have been tumultuous times where I had considered abdicating; yet, God has given me the strength to continue in this office, and thus I have sought to bring an amicable stability to the Church's good work. While none could hope to surpass the achievements of St. High Pontiff Daniel the Great, I pray that God will grant me the opportunity to honor that great Pontiff with my efforts. In pursuit of that goal, I will persist in this vocation as long as God allows it, making what abilities He has given me available to you. I was especially pleased to appoint you to the rank of Bishop of Petrovic, as that region was once my See (though at that time it was called the Diocese of Reza). I can think of no one better to serve in the capital of the newly-independent Dual Kingdom, and I commend you for your efforts there in combating the supernatural threats and in strengthening the faith of the laity. I will pray for your success as Alderman, and look forward to the further fruits of your virtuous labor. “The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.” (Proverbs 3:12-13) Deo Gratias, James II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Publius 4098 Share Posted November 18, 2020 “A storied Pontificate becomes a historic one - it’s interesting to hear how things have changed since he took office...” Cyril would continue to converse with the animals as he worked away in the Albarosan chapel of Kaedrin, his thoughts meandering as he worked!

Parce Domine 113 Share Posted November 18, 2020 [!] Leonid Amador would be found in his home eating dinner before picking up the missive on the table reading it with a smile "To think we get to see the day High Pontiff James II make history in our realm." he'd say happily to his wife while eating some toast and eggs. "I wish I joined the Priesthood sooner." Leonid continued on eating the rest of his dinner in good mood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
