SEDE VACANTE

SEDE VACANTE

 

The body of Tylos I surrounded by Cardinals and the Canonist faithful in the Papal Apartments, Providence. C. 1835

 

DECLARATION FROM THE OFFICE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR

 

A silence fell over the Basilica of the Ascended Godfrey, clergymen prayed silently while nuns and other laywomen wept tears from their eyes. Knights from the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn stood guard over an open casket, carrying the body of the late High Pontiff Tylos I. Young acolytes stood still on either side of the coffin, carrying tall candles out of reverence for the late Pontiff. His sudden death had come as a shock to all, left great sorrow in the hearts of all the faithful, clergy and laymen both.

 

A DECLARATION

 

With the passing of his late Holiness, Tylos I, the Church of the Canon hereby enters the position of “SEDE VACANTE” otherwise referred to as, “The Seat Being Vacant”. We pray to God, all the Exalteds and Saints, that He will grant wisdom to our College of Cardinals to choose a successor that is pleasing to Him.

 

We pray that our new Pontiff be protected from the evils of sin, from greed and gluttony, from pride and selfishness. Rather, may he be a benevolent shepherd to the Canonist flock, guiding all the faithful through the troubles of our world, remaining obedient to God, serving as a light for those stuck in darkness.

 

With this, through the power vested in me as Vice-Chancellor, I hereby summon the College of Cardinals to Conclave to elect our new Pontiff.

 

ON BEHALF OF THE CHURCH OF CANON

In Domini Nomen Oramus, Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus
