THE PONTIFICAL ENTHRONEMENT OF 1820, 373 ES

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

From the tragic day that befell the Holy Mother Church, the anticipation was great, tensions grew as the gates of the Basilica of the Ascent in Providence closed for all those people outside of the big construction, which was just the basilica during the foggy and cloudy time - who will succeed late Holiness Jude II ? The moment has come, which occupies a very important place in the hearts of all believers, but especially among those in the church ranks. There were moments of deep prayers, where after the same, those gathered began to record their votes for the new heir to the church throne, crown and chair...

Shortly after the last ballot arrived in its designated place, the atmosphere began to rise gradually, where the cardinals began to talk to each other after a long wait. Slightly tired, yet upright, they watched the great door of the basilica open, and they in their places - all six cardinals, eagerly awaiting the results of the election. The crowd in the basilica was large, almost unimaginable at first glance, but their eyes showed faith, and a desire for a new High Pontiff that would maintain the peace that had lasted so far.

A few minutes passed.. The Synod finally gathered in one place, after the peace in the basilica came when Cardinal Pelagius stepped on the altar, with a calm look and attitude firm as a soldier. The cardinals looked at each other briefly, one of them being the Pontiff-Elect, before Cardinal Pelagius said aloud what people had been expecting for a long time…

Cardinal Jorenus,

Cardinal Providentia,

Cardinal Jorenus,

Cardinal Providentia,

Cardinal Jorenus.

And so, the High Pontiff was elected. The people exclaimed joyfully, some in whistles and some in prayers. The happiness that illuminated the basilica was indescribable, which Cardinal Alfred was more than glad to see. Descending to the gilded throne, the people began to come to the new Pontiff, making one great order in the basilica. However, shortly after the small celebration, Cardinal Pelagius was joined by Cardinal Adelric, slowly beginning to read the Prayer of Penitence:

"Almighty and most merciful Creator,

we have wandered and strayed from your ways

like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires

of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things

that we ought to have done;

and we have done those things

that we ought not to have done;

and there is no health in us.

But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us sinners.

Spare those who confess their faults.

Restore those who are penitent,

according to your promises declared to mankind

in Horen our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Creator, for his sake,

that we may live a disciplined, righteous and godly life,

to the glory of your holy name.

So say we all."

Crossing himself, Pontiff-Elect Alfred exhaled quietly, genuflecting in front of the throne and the cross of Lorraine. Cardinal Adelric looked at Pontiff-Elect, starting again…

“With the Lord Creator our witness and guide, it has been divined that the Alfred of Jorenus, born Alfred Barclay, has been willed to fulfill the seat of the Church Pontificate. Do you heed the call of Our Creator to bear this vocation?”, Cardinal Adelric spoke, before Alfred spoke in respond, “I do so believe.”

“You have been ordained in our church, your household names forsaken and your life devoted in sole service to the teachings of our Creator. The vows of your past vocations remain firm; now you must make the declaration of assent.”, Adelric then began to read the assent, the document itself being passed from one Pontiff to another, and all in a circle..

“The Church of Faithful is the One, Holy and Rightful Church of the Creator , worshiping the one true God, The Creator. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scrolls and set forth in the Faithful creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Light, it has borne witness to Faithful truth in its historic formulates, the Articles of Faith, The Book of Saints. In the declaration you are about to make, will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Horen to this generation and making Him known to those in your care?”. Alfred responded, “I, Alfred of Jorenus, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the faith which is revealed in the Holy Scrolls and set forth in the Faithful creeds and to which the historic formularies of the Church of The Creator bear witness; and in public prayer and administration of the sacraments, I will use only the forms of service which are authorized or allowed by Canon.”

“Do you accept the Holy Scrolls as revealing all things necessary for eternal salvation through faith?”

"I do so accept them."

"Will you be diligent in prayer, in reading Holy Scrolls, and in all studies that will deepen your faith and fit you to bear witness to the truth of the Word?"
