MISSIVE FROM HIS HOLINESS

ON FEMALE PRIESTHOOD

18th of Sigismund’s End, 1849 | 18th of Joma & Umund, 402 ES.

 

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 does decree…

The topic of female priesthood has been debated across many generations. Secular statesmen, Canonist sovereigns, and past Pontiffs have all had an opinion on this topic, either in favor of or against such a change. However, in more recent years, the question of female priesthood has become the defining question of our time, one that We intend to finally answer.

 

Throughout the Holy Scrolls are instances of women being equal to men, and we have seen this reflected in secular life. Empresses ruling in their own right, successions being reformed to include women, etcetera. Yet, the Church remains in the past, permitting only men to become ordained clergy, to spread the word of God and perform sacrament.

 

No more. Through Our Apostolic Authority, and with the support of Our Curia, We declare now that women are to be extended the right to serve as ordained clergy, to rise through the ranks as priest, bishop, archbishop, cardinal, and even Pontiff if God is willing. To all those women who sought to serve but have been constrained by your gender, be released from your shackles, and free to embrace the light of God.

 

May God bless you all.

"A promising development within the Church, even withstanding the hardships of Schismatics, the High Pontiff has time to focus on the internal development of the Church and accomodating it to the changes in society." proclaimed the Duke of Valwyck, nodding his head. He was quite excited by this prospect for the Church.

Aether, a Seraphim-in-training for the Lectors, sighs. She's read the scrolls, and, doesn't quite agree with this, but... Well, perhaps they'll give her a chance.
