Let our confidence not rest in our own understanding but in your guiding hand; let our desires not be for our own comfort, but for the joy of your kingdom; for your cross is our hope and our joy now and unto the day of eternity.

Ferdinand Cardinal St. Alexander TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Pelagius Cardinal Nescia TR, His Eminence, Fr. Robert Cardinal Rochefort TR, His Eminence, Fr. Adelric Cardinal Freising TR, His Eminence, Fr. Vinzant Cardinal Buron SECTION III It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the Curia. We decree these appointments… Vice Chancellor, His Eminence, Gawain Cardinal Providentia Ecclesiastical Auditor, The Reverend Monsignor, Fr. Johan Vuiller Prelate of the Clergy, His Eminence, Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus Pontifical Secretary, His Grace, Robert Bishop Rochefort Apostolic General, His Excellency, Armand de Rennes The Holy Mother, Her Excellency, Sister Roxelana SECTION I It is through our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted, that we reconstruct, merge and establish the following dioceses, making the organization and management of the mentioned dioceses easier for the accordingly appointed shepherds. Princely-Archdiocese of Albarosa officially splits into two new archdioceses: ARCHDIOCESE OF ALBAROSA Encompassing everything beyond the Capital City of Providence, that is within the Holy Orenian Empire, to be shepherded by Archbishop, Ferdinand Cardinal St. Alexander. ARCHDIOCESE OF NESCIA, encompassing the southern region, including the Commonwealth of Sutica & Elven Territories, to be shepherded by Pelagius Archbishop Nescia. Archdiocese of Henrikev becomes: DIOCESE OF HENRIKEV, Encompassing the entirety of the Capital City of Karosgrad, to be shepherded by Ivarus Bishop Henrikev. *Archbishop, through his Apostolic Right, may appoint a pastor to any land within the borders of his archdiocese, to perform the sacraments and fulfill his pastoral duty as the humble servant of Godan. SECTION V In the Seventh Golden Bull of Providentia, We issued a Writ of Annulment for the marriage between Mrs. Aimee Halcourt and Mr. Valent de Rosius. Shortly after the Bull was published, sad news reached Us that Mr. Valent had passed away. Mrs. Aimee, after some period of time, got married to Mr. Vladrick Ruthern, but the situation is next: before the official Sacrament of Matrimony, the two got a son, called Rhys, which characterizes him as a bastard. After some time, the pair got a daughter, now after the official Sacrament of Matrimony. After a productive talk with Mrs. Aimee and Mr. Vladrick, the two agreed on legitimizing their son Vladrick, which has made Us think about it not for a long time. It is through our Apostolic Right, together with the approval from the Synod, that We officially announce and confirm that Rhys Barrow takes up a new name which is Rhys Ruthern, making him a legitimate son of Mr. Vladrick and Mrs. Aimee, for Godan is our Lord Saviour, the man who is loved and who loves the most of us all. We are happy to announce this news, for We all should receive a virtuous gift from Godan, and to forget about the horrific past which may have been behind us all the time. SECTION VI Shortly after the meeting with King Georg I that took place a few months ago, one of the cardinals approached us with a topic on diocesan venerations, saying that venerations should not be done only by the High Pontiff. We listened carefully to his statements and after the meeting we came to a conclusion, which has not changed since last time. As it is written within the pages of the Canon Law, "The status of venerable is conferred by the High Pontiff" (Ch. 5 §2.). Following this, We want to touch on the section in the Minor Bull of Providentia, where this law was not followed by procedure. Through our Apostolic Right, We withdraw those venerations outlined in that section, but We therefore place them in this Golden Bull, meaning that the people mentioned in that section have just been venerated. SECTION VII Although We may not often show up in cities and towns, the Holy Mother Church closely monitors all events through canonist nations, and We have paid special attention to various incidents caused by the small creatures which go by the name Musin. From the stolen relics and vessels, all the way to the ruined part of the statue inside the Basilica of the Ascent, We are shocked that someone has enough courage to perform such shameful and horrible acts, not to mention the various criminal acts committed by these creatures. After a quick report given by the Ministry of Justice, it became clear to Us that these creatures do not wish well for our faithful people, wherever We all may be. Therefore, through Our Apostolic Law, We officially state the decision of the Holy Mother Church that these creatures should not be trusted, and so that they do not present themselves as friendly. We especially address our Canonist Princes, and warn them that something should be done about this matter, urgently and without waiting. SECTION VIII Through Our Apostolic Authority, We affirm the following venerations. VENERABLE HENRI DE GUISE, Made Venerable for his faithful rule as Baron of Guise, patronage of the Church of Canon, settling of refugees displaced by the War of the Two Emperors in his barony, kind nature towards the common-folk and Canonist death at the hands of Anti-Marna Pertinaxi forces. VENERABLE ANNE AUGUSTA, Made Venerable for her faithful rule as Empress, patronage of the Church of Canon, personally rescuing over a hundred men and women from Helena from the Inferi, and increased social welfare programs for Providence’s common-folk. VENERABLE FATHER ARTHUR, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a Cardinal Helena, his charitable nature, as well as his steadfast devotion to the people of Helena by allowing the Church there to prosper. VENERABLE FRIAR BONIFACE, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a friar, as well as his steadfast devotion to the Haeseni people, and martyrdom at the hands of corrupt clergy for calling out the abuses of the Church. HIGH PONTIFF, VENERABLE JUDE II, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a High Pontiff, peacemaking between all Canonist princedoms, pious and scholarly aptitude, and martyrdom at the hands of radical heathens and apostates for his peacemaking nature. SECTION IX Through Our Apostolic Authority in the Pontificate, also on the approval of the Synod, We canonize the following people. HIGH PONTIFF ST. JAMES II OF REZA Patron Saint of Glaziers, Sufferers of Paralysis and Epilepsy, and Seekers of Angelic Intercession St. High Pontiff James II was born as Godric Virosi in Reza in 1712. Although his family were glaziers, among his distant relatives were Cecil Virosi (scribe to Ex. Godfrey) and Bl. Fabian the Lesser (spiritual brother of St. High Pontiff Daniel the Great). He was sponsored for seminary in compensation for refitting the stained glass of the Basilica of the Fifty Virgins in the wake of the War of Two Emperors. He began his clerical career by publishing the lost works of his ancestors. After being ordained, James II was appointed Bishop of Jorenus, then swiftly promoted to cardinal and Vice-Chancellor. He was elected to the pontificate in 1753, taking the regnal name James II after the first High Priest to receive the title ‘Pontifex’ from Ex. Godfrey. His first act as High Pontiff was to depart the continent, traveling to Athera on a three year pilgrimage. While there, he recovered the lost original copies of the Scroll of Auspice. Upon returning to Helena, he devoted much of his life to a meticulous translation, compared against the work of St. High Pontiff Daniel and Bl. Fabian the Lesser. His early reign was marred by a difficult relationship between crown and laurel, as some members of the priesthood believed the emperor was complicit in the death of James II’s predecessor. This led him to a public confrontation with Peter III in the streets of Helena. After a private conversation, the future saint campaigned to correct the disharmony between their offices, issuing many golden bulls to clarify their respective roles. He renewed the practice of referring to the emperor as his twin brother, in the model of Evaristus and Clement. After restoring the Church’s relationship with the crown, James II went to work reforming the Church. He began by publishing a complete translation of the Holy Scrolls, making scripture available to the public for the first time in the Church’s history. During the Inferi invasion of Arcas, he witnessed several visions of the Archangel Michael, receiving from him a miraculous banner marked with the Argentate Star, and a gold coin bearing the archangel’s symbol. James II conferred the banner upon Philip Augustus, appointing him pontifical gonfalonier. At the last battle of the Inferi War, heeding the petition of the High Pontiff, the Archangel Michael interceded on the side of the Descendants. Among the aforementioned accomplishments, the High Pontiff also restored the institution of the Holy Palatinate, coronated four human monarchs, and presided over the peaceful separation of the Holy Orenian Empire and the Kingdom of the Haense. James II’s palsy developed into full paralysis, and he passed away peacefully on the 7th of Horen’s Calling, 1802 at the age of 90. His was the longest reign of any High Pontiff to date, at exactly 49 years. MIRACLE 1 Upon James II’s death, an unearthly quiet fell over the room, and the distant voice of the Archangel Michael was heard shepherding him into the Seven Skies. MIRACLE 2 A glazier fell and broke his back while repairing the windows of the Basilica of St. Heinrik after the Diet of Karosgrad. On the advice of Philip Augustus, the glazier prayed for the intercession of the late High Pontiff. Upon waking the next morning, he found himself miraculously cured. ST. KING OTTO II OF HAENSE Patron Saint of Crusaders, Family, and Charity St. King Otto II, born Prince Otto Georg Barbanov, served as a courtier in the restored Haeseni court of Stephen I and worked as a diplomat under the Palatine Saint Henrik Bihar. He was known for his humility and strict adherence to moral doctrine, which clashed greatly with his cousin’s more extravagant court. Otto maintained a close circle of advisors and friends, mostly of ordained clergy, which included the future pontiff Everard IV. In his father’s three months as King, Otto served as crown prince with dour respect, creating the record-long sixteen-hour hymn for his elevation as heir. Otto ascended to the throne of Hanseti-Ruska in 1627, and his reign saw Haense continue the economic and cultural boom it experienced under Stephen. Otto, as a committed Canonist, created many royal hospitals and institutions of faith within Haense, as well as the first irrigation system stretching across the Rothswald and Wickswald. Lavish donations were bestowed upon canonist charities and orders within Haense, and Otto encouraged a theological revival in Haeseni sciences. To pay for much of this, Otto II cut down spending on the armed forces and military. Haense maintained relatively peaceful throughout his reign, except the brief of Vasiland by dwarven forces in 1635, where the army faced a considerable loss when allied with a coalition of fellow imperial vassals and dwed loyalists. Otto also joined the Third Crusade as one of its main leaders, alongside the monarchs of Marna and Renatus, successfully besieging and capturing the pagan capital in the process. The historical and spiritual memory of King Otto II remains an important fixture in the lives of the Haeseni and the Most Holy Church. Unlike many of his predecessors and successors on the throne of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Otto II is largely remembered for his fidelity to family life and took his vocation as a husband and father with high regard despite the tumultuous interwars of his era. Over a century later, High Pontiff Everard V beatified the late king in 1718 in the Fourth Golden Bull of Jorenus, recognizing his stalwart efforts in service to the faith and his virtuous character as a man who upheld the standards of Genere Vitae (1623). MIRACLE 1 During the Rubern War, also known as the AIS war, the Imperial army suffered countless defeats. These continuous defeats significantly harmed morale of the soldiers, leading to numerous desertions and a constantly decreasing chance at victory. Yet another defeat seemed imminent in 1742, when reports of a sizable AIS army reached the Haeseni capital of New Reza. Having no choice but to sally forth and attempt to repel the invaders, the commanders all invoked the name of Otto II, the Norland crusader who had beaten them over a century ago, and took to battle. Rather than the defeat they had been expecting, the Imperial army totally routed the AIS force, giving the Empire their only major victory of the entire war. MIRACLE 2 Again, during the Rubern war, a lone soldier found himself caught behind enemy lines after the Imperial loss at the Battle of Adria in 1753. Fearing for his life, the soldier prayed to Otto II, hoping that his prayers would bring him safe passage back to Haense. He was discovered just before his arrival at New Reza, and many arrows were shot at him to kill him. The arrows however were miraculously stopped in mid-air, and the soldier was able to enter the Haeseni capital and avoid capture and death.
