AB ABSURDO 
FROM ABSURDITY

 

 

 

A RESPONSE TO THE SCHISMATICS 
BY HIS HOLINESS OWYN III

 

In today’s world: it has become an unfortunate pastime to constantly have to divide your attention, resources & manpower to a handful of similar individuals that fester certain circles in the societies of mankind. These are men and women astray from GOD, devoured by their narcotic-esque addiction to schemes and dramatics. 

 

They construct nothing in mankind’s world, and only exist because of the benevolence of their benefactors that they are sycophants to. In the shadow of those truly diligent and honourable, they screech and weep for anything that doesn’t fit in their simplistic worldview, and resort to sinful and tasteless acts to maintain it. 

 

But these eternal children do not exist in a closed environment, for they very much take a seat in the open discourse of the temporal and ecclesiastical world. Their lack of stable homes, moral compasses & remarkable characters drive them to compensate in various careers: which are facilitated by their benefactors.

 

While those that never achieve anything linger in the fringes of society: a few happen to speak the right words, or be at the right place, for them to be thrusted into prominence. From that position, they influence innocent bystanders and pawns they label ‘friends & associates’ to orchestrate whatever their perverse desires require them to. 

 

Understanding this modern ailment: we now look at the publication done by ‘Father Dima’ and Cyril Cardinalis Borealis. Cheered on by folk that never interested themselves, involved themselves or cared about the Holy Mother Church: they invoke deception and false battlecries in hopes to harm a faith that provides crucial infrastructure to the societies of Oren & Hanseti-Ruska. 

 

Upon the ascension of the High Pontificate of Owyn III, the Holy Mother Church immediately walked a reconciliatory approach with the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska that the then Cardinal Albarosa once had poor relations with. Years of conscious neglect by preceding Pontificates, who were scared of a powerful Archdiocese of Jorenus, caused a tear in the tapestry of an united Canonist realm. Diligent priests & bishops in Jorenus were met with the constant invisible barriers of foreign appointments to their diocese, or the tolerance of absent & neglectful clergy members kept in their seat on purpose. His Holiness, who has no vested history or bloodtie to the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, recognizes this mistake and seeks to rectify it.

 

Yet those who once stood as sycophants to those prior Pontificates, who enjoyed and profited from a concise policy of neglect and containment against the people of Hanseti-Ruska, do not wish for the High Pontificate of Owyn III to succeed in this quest. These handful of petite humans, with petite souls, surround themselves with their own political associates and call in all favours owed to them, to fabricate scandal and outrage, with the sole purpose of creating a scorched earth within humanity.

 

To the clergy of the Holy Mother Church, this feels significantly surreal, to handle. While Bishops and Priests alike work with His Holiness to revitalize the faith, drafting bulls, preparing homilies, restoring ancient rites: missives are received that proclaim that things have been said or done, that nobody within the Holy Mother Church can remember or reaffirm. Fighting the figments of imaginations of malicious iconoclasts is something that can never be done in a satisfactory way, as the Holy Mother Church cannot hold itself accountable over non-existent events.

 

The Church recognizes there is a grim reality that has been sired through the reproduction of contemporary media - a rampant proliferation of fabrications made to fulfill an unrighteous agenda. Would a Saint intervene on a Pontifical election regarding a vote, which wouldn’t even have been decisive in the first place? Obviously not. The Lord God does not engage in futilities. Whether Cardinal Borealis voted for, or against, His Holiness: the High Pontificate of Owyn III would still have ascended upon His Holiness’ Pontifical enthronement. For even without his vote, His Holiness was graced by a majority of four Cardinals. But let the record state that Cardinal Borealis did vote for His Holiness as well, even after this supposed apparition. Making his majority that of five cardinals.  Does any election exist in this world where someone retracts his vote when he regrets it months later? And why would it take months for Cardinal Borealis to realise the meaning of this supposed divine intervention? 

 

And because these writings are public in nature, innocent clergymen who merely want to do their job are forced to dabble in politics and factionalism: as if they are in a parliament, instead of the Holy Mother Church. The Pontificate of Owyn III collectively feels ultimate guilt when it sees apolitical clergymen, the desired model by all Canonist nations, pen their own rebuttals to schismatics, who shall never listen to them in the first place. Distracted from their sermons and congregations, they now spend nights protecting an institution that is their home, from a hostile attempt at damaging it.

 

Let us be clear. After this response, the Holy Mother Church shall no longer divert any time, resources or manpower to answer for and reason with folks of malicious intent like these. If they call an illegitimate council, the Palatinate Guard shall arrest and prosecute them accordingly. If they seek out civilian governments to agitate a schism, we will see to their permanent banishment from all human kingdoms. If they continue to walk this path of schism, they will find themselves excommunicated: and eventually burned at the stake. They severely underestimate the love that exists between a Bishop and his congregation, and between His Holiness and his flock.

 

While they can only destroy, we live a life in servitude to the creation and facilitation of purpose and colour in human societies. What is Haense without their Archbishop Benedict? What is Oren without Cardinal Amadeus Nescia? They would be fine nations and people for sure, but they would simply be incomplete without them. 

 

Now the reign of the jester shall end, as the Holy Mother Church refuses to legitimize absurdity any longer. Expect a rectification of this situation in the Second Golden Bull of Albarosa soon. 

 

 

Te Deum.

 

PONTIFEX MAXIMUS
OWYN III

"Surely GOD hasn't made it so that an unfit man would become our Pontiff" said Ser Brandt Barclay, unsure of what to make of all the back and forth between the schismatics and his holiness. The man then signed the lorraine as he prayed to Saint Tylos to give mortals a mind clear of sin and the devil's influence

"Why hasn't he addressed many his foul deeds, written by the niece of the former Pontiff, and only address small parts. I do believe that after the grave insult to the royal family, Haense does not want the Holy See to be relocated to Karosgrad, we do not want to be ordered about by his papal guard, who currently have no authority in Haense other than to act as bodyguards. Though it is saddening to see that he is prepared to burn people at the stake without a trial. He claims to be fixing his past mistakes and making amends with Haense but it seems that is a lie and simply a ruse to sneak his papal seat to a place where it isn't wanted. His true opinions is clear wherein he named his donkey after his most beloved Queen. I for one can not forgive him for this grave insult to the royal family as he still refuses to even address it, I am sure even the imperial in Providence are outraged by the insult to their deceased Empress, Anne." said Hubert Porcher as he read the response in his home before tossing the parchment into the fire.

"Now is a time of reckoning for the faithful - where the truth is bound to liberate us from the coils of sin and sacrilege," The Holy Mother intoned to her faithful sisterhood successively after engaging in communal prayer. She rose, raising to the heavens a trembling palm. She appeared weary and solemn, thus closing her eyes.

 

"Iblees hath taken the form of these blaspheming traitors, and whilst GOD is merciful, their insulting transgressions against the sanctity of the Church will no longer be ignored."

"Let these schismatics be bee-like and die off after their only sting. It is a time where the faith needs to return to being about the faith." Rev. Armas hums in fire-side tedium at the growing political tumult, taking a cheese-knife to his morning fill to encourage it to relieve some crumbs onto the bread placed aside it. "If you seek the merits of a man, pontiff or otherwise, it is very unwise to ask it from his enemies, but not much more foolish to ask them from himself." He continues, thumbing a husk from the bread between his mouth before swilling it with some sweetened red wine.

"Someone needs to teach the High Pontiff how to address mail."  Keaghen thinks

He throws the paper in his fireplace, which has burned for 3 days only fueled by the public letters of the High Pontiff.

"You can't unsubscribe from GOD." said Owyn III's mailman, shoving a copy of this letter through the window he had broken of Keaghen's house.

Holy Sir Nicolas felt the words written down here particularly: "And because these writings are public in nature, innocent clergymen who merely want to do their job are forced to dabble in politics and factionalism: as if they are in a parliament, instead of the Holy Mother Church." He hung his head in sadness, for he was but a Knight of the Palatinate Guard, and wanted only to guard the laws of the Canon. And now, those oaths had required of him to place charges against an august Cardinal of the Church. He prayed for unification and healing, and that those schismatics would come to their senses.

"There comes a time in a mans life where he must wake up and smell the noodles." wrote an elderly Cardinal Amadeus of Oren from under a public bench. "No longer can we be dictated by fantasies and delusions. Pointless scuffles damage the integrity of us all. Let us come together as one, remembering the life of our dear friend James, and endeavouring to create a more perfect humanity which is one with God and itself."

 

Thereafter, he was content to have a lie down, only to be waken by a pesky elven couple laughing above him on the seat.

"I pray and hope for a day when this political intrigue will end, and the flock will be united once more. I will continue to hope for the day when the children of the church act in unison in the name of God." Francisco would pray for reunification.

"You're absolutely right, but GOD is dead and I've got this pontiff in my crossbow's sights." One Lorelei would murmur from over a wall before departing back to nature!
