Publius 3666 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Forgoing the Foolhardy:A Call to the Diet of Karosgrad A depiction of apprehensive Canonists at the Call for Crusade by Owyn III in Providence. Spoiler ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ To the faithful laity of the Holy Mother Church, Since the time Laurence Jrent has assumed the robes of the late High Pontiff James II, controversy and scandal has wracked our Church. Despite his pride and vanity, he ascended - and despite his breaking of Canon law and contempt of it, he remains. Fashioning himself a Crusader-King for years now, it should be no shock that he now attempts to justify the title by calling for a Crusade at the first offence. Despite facing 11 Inculpations, offending the Crowns of the Canonist nations, and fierce disdain for the concerns of the laity, he bids us to battle. Truly, why do you suppose it is not the Fidei Defensor speaking for themselves, but this man racing to call for a Crusade that is the official reaction to the events at the Palace? It was not a matter of unity, but being first - Laurence is an opportunist and sought to have the first and last word on the matter. Perhaps it is not the opinions of any Crown that concerns him... No longer is it appropriate for us to abide by our indolence and allow him to divide and terrorize the Faithful in his overt and brazen desire to secure for himself a legacy derived from worldly hubris and subjugate the Church and Faithful alike to his ambitions in becoming as a second John of Darfey. After meddling so deeply in Secular affairs, and clearing the Lord’s Church of the worried cries of pious and faithful Canonists, we seek to right these wrongs before more become martyrs and our Cross falls further from grace. Heed the call, Clergy and Kings, to the Diet of Karosgrad at the Basilica of St. Henrik. Presided over for our safety by the fair Koeng Henrik II ( @Rudi) of Haense. May we venture no further from piety, and lay to rest these issues that degrade our temporal authority, and close with a prayer: O Saint Emma of Woldzmir, you who fought schismatics that threatened the very fabric of our Holy Mother Church, grant us now valor and the will to forever fight against the Evil Deceiver that has infiltrated The Church. Let us not be afraid to take up our swords and defend what is true and right. Pray for thy Church, pray for the Canonist nations, and pray for unity for our sake. Through the prayers and intercessions of the holy prophets, The Mother of Peace Saint Julia, Saint Emma of Woldzmir, Blessed Seraphim of Leora, and of all the saints, Lord have mercy on us and save us. Amen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ An invitation is delivered to each ordained Canonist clergy, as well as the Holy Orenian Emperor (@Hunwald) , informing them that they are invited to the Diet of Karosgrad. Laity are allowed to spectate, with permission of the Guard. ((Saturday February 6th, 4PM EST)) Edited February 4, 2021 by Publius 51 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanOfArc 4586 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Having been in correspondence with his friend for little over a month at this point, a priest in the barony of Woldzmir received the missive with a smile in the early morning. He read out the letter to his friends and family at least a thousand times, gauging their reactions and happy with what he had received. When dark came at last, he sat at his desk reading over the missive again and again. He wrote a short letter to the King of Haense and to Cardinal St Publius acknowledging his attendance for the Diet of Karosgrad. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi 1736 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 The young Koeng Henrik II clenches his fist after reading the missive, giving a satisfied nod of his head as he twisted his gaze from the Karosgrad square to the Basilica of St. Henrik, "If the Pontiff refuses to answer for his sins, then we shall make him answer for them." 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan_Barnett36 1546 Share Posted February 4, 2021 "Finally, the undead Pontiff will be held accountable for his actions. I have never seen a church this divided before. He will try to find some way to stop the diet, I bet 100 minae on it." Bult would pause, glancing to his pet Jeremy "How much you putting in the pot?" At that, he'd mount his stead from Rubern and head in the general direction of Karosgrad "Thought I'd never return but at least it's for a good reason!" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
