PAX DEI ET TREUGA DEI

PEACE AND TREATY OF GOD

 

OF THE HIGH PONTIFF

EVERARDUS SEXTUS

 

Addressed to the Bishops, Priests, Deacons, and all the lay faithful.

For the Cause of Martial Cessation and Unity Throughout Canondom

 


Gc5mshJpyq0zod_yRtruJ8h8i9-jatFzR0h7HSiEoS-Xpokwl9ZL2zcGIDBR_Mts16zB7QwiM4H24FZbOhpSmXPILUgqgamwH7uzYo7vAtwW1rVpC8RTaUG_awdICo-C5KhtEz7H

HIS HOLINESS EVERARD VI, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD.

 


 

“You will know him, for with peace he gathers the sons of Horen, 

where the sword has divided them.”

(Gospel 7:53)

 

Most Beloved Brethren, Health and Pontifical Benediction.

 

Before We were elected to inherit the laurel of the Exalted, Our predecessor High Pontiff Tylos sought to further unify the Canonist princes in their shared faith. His mission was a unified front of all such sovereigns, to serve as a deterrent to heretic and pagan invaders of Canondom, and to bring peace between Canonists. We share Tylos’ dream, to bring peace to all descendents of Horen through our shared faith in God, for our God is peace, as Our predecessor Jude II made known in the Encyclical Letter “Deus est Pacem”. 

 

It is for this reason that We applaud the work of Our Princes in Hanseti-Ruska and Savoy, for their treaty of peace and defense, grounded in their shared identity as brothers in God. We are reminded of the words of Johan Cardinal Allobrogum during a sermon on Canonist unity, “Let all men set aside their swords, and work to build love between Canonist brothers and sisters”, as God intended. We are also reminded of the words from the Scroll of Auspice, “And by God’s will I redeem you of your failures, and send you to work Peace upon it.” God is peace, and by this treaty, Hanseti-Ruska and Savoy come ever closer to fulfilling the will of God.

 

Therefore, building upon the fraternal love between the Canonist Princes of Hanseti-Ruska and Savoy, and following the example of Our namesake Everard IV, We declare the Peace of God, that no arms be raised against our brethren in humanity and the Church. We extend this proclamation to protect all Canonists: the meek, the civilian, men and women of the Church, and their property. All adversity and hostility are hereby condemned under penalty of admonition. The will of God for His chosen people is supreme, and those who act in defiance of this declaration condemn themselves to the Void.

 

Furthermore, We declare a Truce of God, reaffirming Our Church’s standing prohibition on armed conflict between the levies of Canondom. We are all called to remember who our true enemies are: not our brethren in God, but rather the heresies and evils of Iblees. Henceforth, let it be known that disagreements between Our people must be solved through law and consultation, and that the Church makes herself available as a mediator when it is necessary. Heed that none among us ought to be filled with wrath; those who strike first, rejecting the will of God shall be rebuked and damned.

 

To Our clergy: Your service has never been more important. Our God is Peace, Love, and Mercy, and it is we who must deliver that message to our flocks. We offer a spiritual wealth for which there is no worldly substitute. When you work, do so with the knowledge that We go with you. To Our laymen, know that We work for the greater good of all Canonists, that the will of God, and therefore of Peace, shall be realized and come to pass. The quadricentennial of the Revelation of Exalted Sigismund shall soon be upon us. During this most holy year, let us pray for the strength to seek Peace in all things, to show Mercy to those who have wronged us, and to Love our brothers as we love ourselves.

 

Written in and published from the Pontifical Residence in Karosgrad, given to all Our flock on the 17th of Sigismund’s End/17th of Joma & Umund, in the year of our lord, 1846/399 ES, the eleventh of Our Pontificate.

Grigory Grubb smiles. He doesn't know what these fancy-pants words mean, but he's happy to read it.

Equester-Imperator Holy Sir Philip Hughes de Rosius signed the Lorraine to this encyclical letter. "May GOD bless His Holiness Everard VI and may GOD guide us towards His only one path which goes towards peace."

Josephine Augusta sighs, leaning back in her chair before the fire as she finishes reading the encyclical. She ponders its meaning in silence, then looks to her mentor, Cardinal Allobrogum @Harald.  "Congratulations, Fr. Johan. His Holiness has quoted one of your sermons."

Emil-Dardot recalled the sermon mentioned, witnessing it in Freimark. He remembered the reverend having to pause for several minutes at a time due to coughing fits to insist against violence, and for peace - it felt contrived then, and more so now with the encyclical. Was it not a time to celebrate? Tension only seemed to arise from the peace that was brokered.

 

"You know," He would say to Jean @Jentos in San Luciano, "I am sure their fears would be assuaged if they came to our city more often. Any cause for alarm has been addressed by the government. They ought to let our Bishop come back to the city, I reckon their fears are being fueled by murmurs in Providence, rather than actions in town. Least though, the Pontiff recognizes the need for clergy services, perhaps that means we can expect more soon, if not the allowance of more folk here to assume habits and cloth."

 

At that though, he continued to serve in the tavern. In time, it seemed a less relevant topic as Jean soon left, and everything was as it had been for quite awhile - peaceful.

Saint Harald Vuiller would smile the suns smile, looking down towards the nations of the world.. "Maybe now the fighting will stop brothers?" He smiled looking to his side as he spoke to Jude II and James II @VIROS@GoldWolf

"Thank vy my dear" the weathered Cardinal would smile to his student as they rested after their long discussion surrounding the scrolls and their meanings, enjoying a glass of Pontifical Port that Johan had brought with him "Vy seem to ponder about the missives meaning, but this has been a dream in the works for ages... peace between all brothers and sisters within our faith, that none of us shall raise bale against one another.. That us, the descendants of GOD shall live in peace and glory with one another's not as foes but as close knit friends..." he took a sip from his cup, going to offer her a cigar "A celebration, nie only for this, but for vyr position in the Empire Josephine, vy have truly made me prouder then Ich think I can proceed to show"

Father Stor gazes over the ruins of Rozania. Its people had long since been driven from their homes by fellow Canonists. He reads the letter, and nails it to the ruined Church door, before heading home with his belongings. “Too little, too late. GOD have mercy on our souls, the Church has failed its flock….”

"A confirmation of peace between Haense and Savoy, or a foreign safeguard from the alliance of Haense and Savoy?" Sir Ulrich Lothar asked of his squires at the Grand Circle of the Argent Sun in their analysis of the missive. Their opinions seemed to gravitate towards the latter.

 

"Our well-meaning clerical friends invoke the Encyclical of 1638 - but as destructive the squabbles of the Imperial successor states might have been, an external threat also loomed over humanity in those days; even so, neither Renatus nor Marna and Haense challenged the eventual necessity of an Imperial reconstruction, nor posed any substantial obstacle to the eventual restoration of the Imperial bloodline of Horen to the throne of united Mankind. The Church is keen on protecting the Novellen throne from grievance, but showed no such courtesy to the thrones of Pertinax and Alstion or the royal throne of Alstreim, hmm? At least not until their change of heart shielded the Imposter from retribution equally as my great uncle."

 

 The Landgrave's gaze strayed to the nearby depiction of Exalted Godfrey Horen. The wall in question was devoid of any other religious symbols. He smiled, adding:

 

"This did not stop them from winning their righteous wars against the wicked, however."

Cardinal Francis smiles as he reads the letter, declaring to a priest "God willing, let there be no more wars between brothers!"
