Pureimp10 5179 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2021 THE PONTIFICAL ENTHRONEMENT OF 1835 A procession of clergymen carry the newly elected Pontiff through the Basilica of the Ascended Godfrey. The College of Cardinals had locked themselves in the Basilica of the Ascended Godfrey for hours. Crowds outside the Cathedral swelled as faithful Canonists waited with anticipation for a glimpse for their future Pontiff. Finally, the doors were thrown open, and the crowd entered the Basilica, quickly taking up whatever open spot could be found. Prayers were muttered, candles were lit, but a hush fell over the Basilica as the doors to the College’s private room on the upper floors were opened. Out walked two Acolytes bearing candles, leading a procession of the Cardinals and at the rear, a man dressed in white. One by one, they descended stair after stair as they made their way from the upper to the ground floor. They marched reverently, making eye contact with none as they proceeded through the Basilica. Crowds reached out to touch the Pontiff-elect, though the ever vigilant knights of the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn prevented such. Finally, the procession approached the Pontifical Throne of red fabric and gold lining, and the crowd finally caught a glimpse of their new shepherd. Cardinal Casper, who had carried the ballot box thus far, opened it, and read out the individual votes to the congregation. The Metropolitan said aloud, his voice echoing throughout the halls of the Basilica… Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus; Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus. The crowd cheered as they heard the results, some wholeheartedly and others surprised with the unanimity of the results. Despite this, Yaromir eased himself onto the throne as the Cardinals moved to either side. He rested his arms on the throne; his eyes gazed out over the cheering congregation. He showed little emotion, only cracking a soft smile at a face he recognized. Soon enough, Cardinal Anders stepped forward, and began 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." Pontiff-Elect Yaromir rose from the throne then, and stepped down to ground level to face the altar. He genuflected before it and signed himself with the Hussariyan cross, returning to his feet as Cardinal Anders continued… “With the Lord Creator our witness and guide, it has been divined that the Yaromir of Jorenus, born Yaromir Nikuldov, has been willed to fulfill the seat of the Church Pontificate. Do you heed the call of Our Creator to bear this vocation?” Anders said before Yaromir replied, “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.” Cardinal Anders then proceeded to read the assent, an age old part of the ceremony preserved from Pontiff to Pontiff… “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?” Yaromir would soon say, “I, Yaromir 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?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you lead your people in proclaiming the glorious Word of Horen, so that the good news of salvation may be heard in every place?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you teach the doctrine of Horen as the Church of Faith has received it, will you refute error, and will you hand on entire the faith that is entrusted to you?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you be faithful in ordaining and commissioning ministers of the Church?” "By the help of God, I will." “Will you be gentle and merciful for Horen’s sake to those who are in need, and speak for those who have no other to speak for them?” "By the help of God, I will." "Will you endeavor to fashion your own life and that of your household according to the way of God and make your home a place of hospitality and welcome?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you work with your fellow servants in the Church for the sake of the kingdom of God?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you accept the discipline of this Church, exercising authority with justice, courtesy and love, and always holding before you the example of Horen?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you then, in the strength of the Holy Light, continually stir up the gift of God that is in you, that the good news of God may be proclaimed in all the Realm?" "By the help of God, I will."" "Speak thus then the oath of the Pontificate, with the conclave and God as witness." "I vow to change nothing of the received Tradition, and nothing thereof I have found before me guarded by my God-pleasing predecessors, to encroach upon, to alter, or to permit any innovation therein; To the contrary: with glowing affection as her truly faithful student and successor, to safeguard reverently the passed-on good, with my whole strength and utmost effort; To cleanse all that is in contradiction to the canonical order, should such appear; to guard the Holy Canons and Decrees of our Saints and Pontiffs as if they were the divine ordinance of Heaven, because I am conscious of Thee, whose place I take through the Grace of God, whose Vicarship I possess with Thy support, being subject to severest accounting before Thy Divine Tribunal over all that I shall confess; I swear to God Almighty and the Favored son Horen that I will keep whatever has been revealed through Horen and His Successors and whatever the Saints and my predecessors have defined and declared. I will keep without sacrifice to itself the discipline and the rite of the Church. I will put outside the Church whoever dares to go against this oath, may it be somebody else or I. If I should undertake to act in anything of contrary sense, or should permit that it will be executed, Thou willst not be merciful to me on the dreadful Day of Divine Justice. Accordingly, without exclusion, We subject to severest excommunication anyone -- be it Ourselves or be it another -- who would dare to undertake anything new in contradiction to this constituted Tradition and the purity of the Faith and the Faithful religion, or would seek to change anything by his opposing efforts, or would agree with those who undertake such a blasphemous venture." As Yaromir concluded the Oath, his forehead would be anointed with the Holy Waters of Gamesh, tracing the cross unto the Pontiff Elect’s forehead with a thumb dipped in those Holy Waters. As the small ceremony drew to a close, Cardinal Anders gently took the Pontifical Laurel from a small red pillow. With care, Anders lifted it from the pillow, holding it between both hands as he approached the throne. Raising an indescribably beautiful laurel above his head, Cardinal Anders gently lowered the laurel onto the head of Pontiff-Elect. With a bright smile, hands clasped in front of him, Cardinal Anders shifted to the side, looking at the congregation… "I announce to you a great joy: We have a High Pontiff! The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lord, Yaromir of Jorenus. High Pontiff of the Canonist Faith who takes to himself the name..." “EVERARD THE SIXTH!” 58 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narthok 9213 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Father Paul would nod at the news "One can only hope that this Pontiff will return Mother Church to tradition and once more institute the ancient practice of sacramental wine, how can we claim to properly teach the faith when we ignore the very scripture from which we purport to teach" With that he would return to his ministrations, preaching zealously against the degeneration and excesses that had begun to overwhelm the people. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
