A Church Under Fire - A Polemic On Those Who Attack the Mother Church

A CHURCH UNDER FIRE - A POLEMIC ON THOSE WHO ATTACK  THE MOTHER CHURCH

 

1805, 358 ES

 

I am struck, yet once more, by saddening news. Regarding the events that unfolded a Saint's days ago, at the Basilica of the Ascent in Providence, where I've been a personal witness to the most heinous act one could ever have done. While his Eminence Manfried Cardinalis Providentia carried out the holy sacrament of matrimony, a man wearing the clothing of a nun, rushed in, throwing a fire bottle right where the Solicitor General Ophelia Elizaveta and Cardinal Manfried were. Another jumped in to save the Solicitor General from being burned, while his Eminence had been caught up in flames. I quickly rushed over with Francisco Episcopus Cordoba to assist in extinguishing the flames. With the assistance of Episcopus Francisco, we managed to take the Cardinal and put him in the fountain just behind, filled with Holy water, as the fires were extinguished. Yet, his Eminence still suffered severe burns all over his arm, chest and neck, being in great pain. We quickly escorted him to the clinic as he received treatment by a medic, now lying in bed and recovering. If mine and Episcopus Francisco's response wasn't swift, then we'd have a worse outcome. His Eminence also is missing an arm, why in God's name would anyone wish to harm someone like him? With this, I'd also wish to point out, that the 'nun' in question wasn't a nun, moreso an impostor, a man pretending to be one. People may blame the Church, but it wouldn't make sense that the Church would harm one of their own as well as the Solicitor General of the Empire.  I do wonder, though, do people clearly hate the Church and the Empire that much? If we count all the past actions against the Church and its flock, we can clearly see that the Church is continuously under attack. From one side, we've got the vile pagans, slandering and insult the Church and its members, the apostates and heretics that continuously seek to murder our own priests and at the same time, a great number of ignorant people. The Church is being attacked from every side, and I personally believe more drastic measures have to take place. I urge his Holiness Owyn III to see fit on how to react to these events, as looking at the records, the attacks are multiplying as time goes on. 

 

If I may say, these events can be seen as an act of aggression towards the Holy Mother Church and all of its Followers, and I say, there has to be action taken.

 

 

Te Deum.

Padre Javier upon hearing the news slams his hand on the table, his heart feeling much disappointment,  "What challenge has GOD brought upon us? First the red hyspians now this? Something is running afoul? Is this coordinated?"

[Valannor 6345]

In the northern reaches of the realm, in a crypt filled with the tombs of those who called themselves King amongst the crows, a dreadful hound would regard the missive wearily, a frown stretching across wolven maw. 

 

"It is only by chasing the sheep into the field, that they who call themselves 'Shepherd' might deliver them unto salvation. Woe betide the Faithful, who are unable to ascend beyond this caustic din, and to the Heavens beyond..." It would rumble out, a distinct discontent about its tone. Perhaps it would make its way south, so that it might visit the wounded cardinal. 

 

It would be remiss not to tend to its flock, after all.
