It is that fraternal love which serves as the bond between the faithful, the uniting force which keeps those devoted to God forever devoted together. You may ask then; why is this important? We begin with the necessity for unity in that regard, reminding Our brothers and sisters of Auspice in which a united faithful defeats Iblees. It is not through one man but through the many that Iblees was killed and just as such a lesson is applied then, too should it be applied in the common day and age. It is that unity which is important to the Canonist faith and so, in the same vein, so too is fraternity. As We said prior, fraternal love is the uniting force which binds the faithful together, and therefore, a fraternal faithful is one which is united and one assured victory in foretold times. It is that necessity of unity which makes fraternal love too a necessity, for it is collectively that we all must worship, not separately. Our voices must be called in praise to God, not as one voice but as many in unison. We must not worship alone but together. We must not tread this path in solitude but surrounded by those called to the same mission. However, that is not enough and without true brotherhood, unity is but a hollow thing. This is why We call you now to fraternity for fraternity is what binds all together and fraternity is what shall assure God’s victory in every age and era.

Pelagius Cardinal Albarosa (@Hulio)TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Benedict Cardinal Jorenus (@Piov)TR, His Eminence, Fr. Adelric Cardinal Freising (@MadOne)TR, His Eminence, Fr.

SECTION IV It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel of the High Pontificate that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the Curia. We decree these appointments… Vice Chancellor, His Eminence, Pelagius Cardinal Albarosa (@Hulio)Ecclesiastical Auditor, VacantPrelate of the Clergy, His Eminence, Alfred Cardinal St. Tylos (@rep2k)Pontifical Secretary, Fr. Robert de Bourdon (@Tiresiam)Apostolic General, His Excellency, Armand de Rennes (@LithiumSedai)Prelate of the Sisterhood, Her Excellency, Sister Roxelana (@Axelu) With the resignation of the Ecclesiastical Auditor, We, in the coming weeks shall search for a replacement to preside over the Tribunal. We offer Our brother, Father Alfred Ruthern, the best of wishes and Health and Pontifical Benediction in future endeavors. SECTION V It brings Us great dismay to hear of the news of Our mission’s failure in the Apostate Nation of Norland. While we had great hopes for the City of Leumont and further, peaceful conversion efforts in the wider dominion of Norland, with the conversion of Our primary diocese within their borders, this mission has come to a close. Along with such things as an inordinate tax on Our clergy as well as word of mercenaries prowling the roads of their dominion, and too, hostilities between the Church and Norland’s vassal states, We have seen it fit to rescind all ecclesiastical efforts in Norland and maintain the Diocese of Leumont as a titular title. With Our ever persistent goal to see the unsaved one day among those in salvation, We maintain too all Diocesan titles encompassing Norland as titular ones, being the Diocese of Leumont which has been previously mentioned and too, the Patriarchate of Jorenus which possesses wider purview over the pagan nation. It is God who weeps at the sight of Norland, those who reject His Covenant which He did make with the Prophet, Exalted Horen. He who is wroth at the sight of those who reject His Word when they have been molded by it. Yet, while We do harken back to the words of Bl. High Pontiff Everard IV in the Encyclical Letter, Fide et Obedientia, “We the Pontificate do find that the cultists of the Norlandic people have condemned themselves an eternity of damnation by virtue of the wrath of Almighty GOD and His Exalted Prophets and saints.” We too remember these words from the Prophet Owyn, “Grace to thee and peace from our Lord GOD, the Most Merciful, Singular, and Omnipotent.” So, while We may condemn and admonish those who reject His truth, the one truth, the only and singular truth, We too remember that He is the Lord, Most Merciful. With that, We have hope that one day, those apostates who abandon so foolishly that truth of which has ordained them at birth as the faithful eternally, shall see their folly; their mistake in breaking the Covenant with the Creator and that this shall bring them cause to devote themselves once more to the Lord Almighty. That is what We have, are, and shall pray for these days, weeks, years, and all time to come, for it is short of an eternity that they have to redeem but an eternity that they have to enjoy, only if they are to be what has been written in stone: Canonists. SECTION VI Francisco Cardinal Sutica1768-1810 Cardinal Francisco, a dear friend of Our’s has died by the hands of those he hoped to redeem. It was a month ago that we received word of His Eminence’s execution in the domain of the Apostate’s Hyspia by their King, the very man who the Cardinal had once treated as a brother. While the Cardinal’s death has not gone unpunished, for which We do so sincerely thank the involvement of Haense and their Koeng, His Majesty Heinrik II (@Rudi), We must still remember a virtuous man who devoted himself forever to a cause which would one day make him a martyr. Cardinal Francisco was a man We met when We were but Manfried Cardinal St. Julia, a man who cared for Us in times of dire need, visited Us often as We recovered from injuries so commonly correlated with Our image. It was he, in his worry for Us, that We inferred was to be a great and caring shepherd to his flock. We were not wrong and the Cardinal lived out his life, to his final breath, in service to those who, in this priestly vocation, he had been called to guide and to defend. It is this spirit which truly embodied Our goal in Norland and in the Apostate’s Hyspia and We are saddened that it must end in this tragic manner. Yet, We forever retain in Our memory the service of Cardinal Francisco and pray that he may enjoy joyous eternity with the Lord God. SECTION VII As We witness a great expansion of the ranks of clergy in this holy institution, the necessity for record keeping becomes ever more apparent. With this in mind, We call a sacerdotal census to take place for this coming year of 1811 so as to truly assess the Church’s numbers. The sacerdotal census will be released in the coming days and We expect the participation of every ordained man. In the past, the consequence for not participating in the census has been the defrocking of that cleric absent in the Church’s records. This shall not be continued in this sacerdotal census, however, the Priest absent in Our records shall not be recognized by this Pontificate to be able to participate in such things as Ecumenical Councils, Diets, and so on if they are called. SECTION VIII In the past months, a certain scandal involving the unions of the Imperial Family has been brought to Our attention. In this, We worried for those involved and immediately sought audience with Our Canonist Prince, His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Joseph II, to hear answers on this predicament. While We were concerned, those worries soon disappeared as We were told of Lord Peter d’Arkent’s consent to the union by the Lord, Peter himself and too, the situation of the union involving Lady Margaux and Prince Robert was clarified by the Emperor who stated it was but an offer, not a forced matter. As the predicament has been explained to Us, We have deemed it of no issue to affirm the marriage. Therefore, We have permitted the union between Peter d’Arkent and Josephine Augusta, officiating it Ourselves, and too shall permit the offered union if express consent is given, in person, by the pair involved. With this in mind, We are happy to see this resolved and offer Our good will and prayers to the newly weds. SECTION IX It has been the Order of Bl. Wigbrecht which has, throughout many years, served the Church, both clergy and lay faithful devotedly; forever steadfast in their mission. With the return of His Eminence Bram many a year ago, he has now sought to revive the monastic order of which he had led. It is their ranks, filled with such men as His Eminence, as Cardinal Jorenus, and many others, which will Us to share in this necessity. Therefore, We affirm the Order of Bl. Wigbrecht, to remain under no authority within or outside the Church but the High Pontiff and their Superior General. We too affirm their Rule and pray that in this sanctioning of their order, they may continue their service in the name of God, forever keeping at heart the Canonist ideals of Bl. Wigbrecht. SECTION X Through Our Apostolic Authority in the Pontificate, We do affirm these venerations. VENERABLE FATHER JAVIERMade Venerable for his faithful service to God and the lay faithful, showing great dedication in his vocation as a Priest of the Church of the Canon.

VENERABLE FARLEY STAFYRMade Venerable for his faithful service to God, stalwart defense of the Second Empire from Dwarven invasion, and dedicated service to both nation and family in his competency as a Lord and his noble way of life. VENERABLE ARIANNE HELVETSMade Venerable for her faithful service to God, modest way of living, and selfless sacrifice of her life during the Scyfling invasion for the refugees of which she defended. ☩INSTAURARE OMNIA IN DEO☩RESTORE ALL THINGS IN GOD SIGNED WITH THE LOVE OF A FATHER, YOUR SERVANT Sanctitas, Papa Iudaes Secundus Edited March 7, 2021 by GoldWolf 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
