Balthasar 2095 Share Posted October 23, 2022 PEACE AND BLESSINGS RESPONSE TO 'THE POLITICAL CHURCH' Penned by His Holiness, Pontian IV Most Beloved Faithful, We write this public missive to respond to a concerned knight, verily We understand his frustrations but We shall make an attempt at dispelling them and reveal to him and the rest of the faithful some of our internal developments. The Mother Church has no interest in the politics of nations, but when another war between all of Humanity is on the verge of bursting, we the Church feel it is our responsibility to act and call for unity and peace. In our efforts for harmony, we have been named tools of too many people and nations to count. We are not faultless and the Church has had a history of politics, that much We can admit, our main goal when intervening in secular affairs is to maintain peace and not to execute our own agenda! We were only present in Balian when Acre attacked because they broke the sacrosanctity of the Basilica la Sorella, when the Church understood that the conflict had been moved outside and nothing happened within the temple, we observed the ongoings but took no action to alter events in our favour. To the Aaunic matter, the Kingdom was formed and its sovereign, King Charles merely wished for our blessings, in the same way, King John of Balian had asked a few years prior. It is Our Apostolic Right to bestow this blessing. But to the glaring issue, you have presented; mass. This is a prevalent issue that I am not ashamed to admit to as well. We addressed this issue partially in our first golden bull, We asked our bishops to not forget their responsibilities, We are aware not much has changed. Though I do not make the assumption that there are no sermons at all, We have kept our eye on a pious young man in Atrus who preaches regularly, he is worth listening to. Perhaps your letter to Us will wake up the idle clergymen and put them back to work! If not, it is something the Church is working on, but all work requires time. But sermons are not the only responsibility of the priest. Daily the Pontificate and even Our ministers are approached by strangers and known faces, they tell us of their troubles and we advise them and guide them to a solution, is this not the duty of the Church? To help those in need, teach them, listen to them and celebrate with them? We hope that this letter to you good ser Knight has put your mind to some ease, we welcome your criticisms, but we are aware of them and are making the necessary changes.

Franczhiz 4084 Share Posted October 23, 2022 "The average mindset if the Church does not support them one way or the other is "The Church is political! All their fault!" My God, it seems the Orenian schismatic and anathema mindset has truly been integrated into Haeseni society.. May God bless His Holiness for his quick response." Louis Joseph uttered, signing the Lorraine. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
