SEDE VACANTE

PUBLISHED BY THE PONTIFICAL CHANCERY

On the 15th of Owyn's Light, 1920

 

The Arms of the Canonist Church under Sede Vacante

It is with the utmost sorrow that the Mother Church announces the passing of His Holiness, Pontian IV. On this day his Holiness passed whilst enjoying his favorite pastime of fishing upon the Reden River. Enthroned in the year 1886 and passing in 1920, his Holiness reigned for thirty four years where he served Canondom with virtue, dedication, kindness and compassion. He accomplished many goals during his time, the foremost being the modernisation of the Church.

 

THUS,

 

With the passing of the Holy Father, the Church of the Canon hereby enters the position of “Sede Vacante”, otherwise named “The Seat Being Vacant”. We pray to God, all the Exalted and the Saints, that He will grant wisdom to our College of Cardinals to choose a successor that is pleasing to Him.

 

We pray that our new Pontiff be protected from the evils of sin, from greed and gluttony, from pride and selfishness. Rather, may he be a benevolent shepherd to the Canonist flock, guiding all the faithful through the troubles of our world, remaining obedient to God, serving as a light for those stuck in darkness.

 

The funeral for his Holiness will be held in one Saint’s Day time by Patriarch Iosif within the Basilica of Saint Heinrik in Karosgrad. All those of the Canonist faith are welcomed to attend, more details will be announced shortly. Following on from the funeral, two days of mourning will occur before the Cardinals will be summoned to conclave to elect the new High Pontiff of the Church. 

 

ON BEHALF OF THE CHURCH OF CANON

In Domini Nomen Oramus, Teodosio Cardinal Tyria, Vice Chancellor
