PONTIFICIA BULLA FIDEI DEFENSORIS

PONTIFICAL BULL OF FIDEI DEFENSOR

6th of Horen’s Calling, 1850 | 6th of Wzuvar & Byvca, 403 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…

Most Beloved Brethren, Health and Pontifical Benediction.

 

Our faith has been tested over the events of the last Saint’s Day. Men who We considered faithful friends, men We crowned as sovereigns but two Saint’s Days ago, have now betrayed not only the trust of their faithful Canonist people, but also of their Lord God. We have asked Ourselves why God would allow such evil to persist, to cause suffering upon Us, who were elected to fulfill His will here in this world. It is the same question that many of the faithful have asked when they have undergone some suffering, be it physical or spiritual in nature.

 

However, as the Catechism teaches us, We remember that evil is not caused by God, but by the absence of Him, and so it is unfair for Us to blame Him for what has transpired. Indeed, there are times when suffering occurs so that our faith may be tested. This is one such time. When the sin of schism has overcome the leaders of Savoy and Oren, the true faithful have shown themselves: the Kingdom of Haense, who saved Our life when threatened by schismatics in the Savoyard court, the House of Barclay, who have denounced the false bishop Christoff as a traitor to their family, and the countless faithful families who have condemned the schism and spoken out against its leaders. Our faith may be tested, yes, but it has never been stronger than in this moment. 

 

Countless generations of Holy Orenian Emperors have long been entrusted with the defense of the faith and the Church. The title of fidei defensor has come to be synonymous with the title of Emperor. However, there have been instances in our history where one other than the Emperor has been charged with the defense of Canonism. King Marius I of Haense was granted the title following the fall of the Fifth Empire, and carried out his duties to the best of his ability. Therefore, it is with strong conviction that We hereby declare that the title of Fidei Defensor shall be stripped from the schismatic Emperor Philip, and bestowed upon the faithful King Sigismund III of Hanseti-Ruska. It was by his actions and by the actions of his soldiers that We have survived to this day, and with Us, the true Church of the Canon as ordained by the Exalteds.

 

We shall continue to pray to God that those who have been blinded by sin shall soon see the light of redemption, and will turn their backs on the false Pontiff and return to the one and only true Mother Church. May God bless all those who have remained faithful, for surely their reward in the Seven Skies will be plenty.

☩AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM☩

FOR THE GREATER GLORY OF GOD

 

[Minuvas 2878]

The Archchancellor looked at the Lorraine cross on his desk, a silver Lorraine cross would dangle from his Imperial doublet, he would curl his hands together upon reading the missive. 

 

The Elf would be seen about the basilica, in the confessional, and making his prayers that day.  

 

If anyone asked him about the subject at hand, he would state the Chancellery would have no statement to make this time, and that it is is drafting its directions to the Government.

"Sigismund the Third, Fidei Defensor! Godan is wise and the Pontiff has recognised the fully faithful in these trying times. Everard is not only Godan's rightful representative on this mortal land but a fine paragon of the faith!" The Count of Metterden imparts to his wife, Marie @sarahbarah, in Vidaus, reminiscing on their wedding day overseen by the very same High Pontiff who was now staring down an unjust schism and truly rallying the faithful.

"God save the Defender of the Faith!" cheers Jurgen!

[sarahbarah 5015]

"Amin,"  stated a weary but unrelenting Haeseni soldier. Marie simply looked to her husband and sighed, signing the Lorraine cross over herself. She was tired, but she was not afraid.

"Truly ein King worth fighting for!" exclaimed Father Klaus.

[Capt_Chief26 1205]

“Gott will bring his Righteous fury upon those who go against Mother Church, His vengeance will be swift und terrible!” decried a haeseni Meyster knight”

[Xarkly 12613]

 

King Sigismund buckled on his cloak in his office as he prepared for the day ahead.

 

It was morning, and pale winter light filtered through the open balcony, bringing with it a chilling gust of wind that carried the noise from the city beyond. If not for the pine logs burning in the hearth, he would have been frozen to the bone. As he fixed his cloak on with a silver-crow brooch, he looked up to the Hussariyan Cross hanging above the fireplace.

 

"Vy have a strange sense of humour, vy know that?"

 

Godan gave no answer to that.

 

[Asutto 1988]

"A nail set into the coffin." Remarked Amadea Ashford d'Aryn. "The North already had its eyes on the South and this Pontiff only pushes the agenda. Both of these church's need to stay where they always have stood, away from the politics of humanity "

[Mio 3771]

“FIDEI DEFENSOR!” Cried Otto August throughout the wintering streets of Karosgrad, he was a Canonist man who stood along his Canonist brothers! “Now we must truly rally the faithful. May Godan guide the Empire to less troubling times, their false faith will be corrected and we shall forgive.”

[1_Language_1 1671]

         "I really doubt Oren is going to give up that title so easily, since they've always thrown a hissy-fit about their titles, even if some of them were useless." Abraham grunts, before taking a sip of his hot coco. "I hope this stays as a battle between the churches, and not something that spills out."

[UnBaed 8946]

“I only wonder what this is going to do to Sig’s ego,” Moliana mused to herself with a roll of her eyes, though a small smile hinted at the corners of her mouth.

Klara Elizaveta climbed the ladder within her room to the screowl perch that sat close to the high windows that allowed light to stream across the floor. Bundled in blankets taken from her bed to ward off the harsh northern winds as she opened the window to look out across the gardens. "Godan will help Papej, won't he, Bruce?" 

 

The snowy screowl offered a chirp before going to burrow beneath the blankets with his owner.
