The SINS of the INQUISITION

[Apotolofo 1414]

THE SINS OF THE INQUISITION

 

 

 

 

The inquisition protects, serving the church and serving the people. To this, there is no question. But I awoke to hear news I never thought I would hear- an unborn child, slaughtered within the church. Within consecrated, holy sanctuary was Man's will enacted, the purest of souls snuffed in an instant. 

 

Though I, Nicolette, am an Amador, I disregard my cousin-in-law as family. She has betrayed my kin, but the child-that-was never had the chance to sin, making it the purest of all souls. No where in the handbook of sins is the act of being conceived a wrong doing. 

 

But the Inquisition, on this day, have committed an ugly handful of sins within GOD's holy lands and holy house. Those sins are as follows. 

 

In the Scroll of Virtue, Canticle of Humanity, it is stated; "So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not judge your own virtue, be it great or small, for all fall short of Me." Our lord GOD makes it clear only he may pass judgement. However, this sin is one that may be forgiven, for the inquisition does what must be done in order to vanquish greater sins. For it is also stated, "The Ministry of GOD is not a body by which persecution and prejudice is born. It shall accept all races, peoples, and faiths as children of GOD, and show them His affection through tolerance, charity, mercy, and love. It shall, however, accept that the heathen and heretic are without love for GOD, and will admonish them." 

 

Secondly, the Inquisition is found guilty upon the sin of Sacrilege. Within Enchridion Peccati, or the handbook of sin, it is stated; "The sin of violating or misusing that which is sacred. Sacrilege is a direct insult to God and the Church, and often goes paired with sins like Blasphemy, Heresy or Iconoclasm. Like Blasphemy, it is based on Canticle of Faith: 8." The quote referenced here, from the canticle of faith, is as follows. "So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not blaspheme My Word, nor any thing that is holy." 

By committing the sin of murder, for whatever virtuous and redeemable reason, within the holy space that is the church, Sacrilege of the highest degree has been committed. 

 

Murder, under GOD, is still murder. For it is written, "The sin of killing another person. Throughout the Holy Scrolls that form the Canon of our Church, we find instances of people who are guilty of the sin of Murder and are punished for this heinous crime, this affront to God. We are all part of God’s creation, for as we read in Canticle of Faith: 6, 'And I have given you life: I am your father, and the father of all things.' By killing another person we destroy part of God’s holy work, and make ourselves guilty of the sin of Murder." Once more I reference the Ministry of GOD, for "it shall accept that the heathen and heretic are without love for god, and will admonish them." 

For this reason, the murder of the vampyric heretic may be forgiven. But the murder of the unborn child may not be. Descendant life, no matter how small or early on, is sacred. Though some lives must be extinguished in order to preserve the greater good, no good has come from the child's death. 

 

One may ask then, What is the solution? Should the vampyr have been spared? Should it have been detained until the child's birth, what if it escaped? And so, these are all legitimate concerns. 

Perhaps the child's death was needed in order to enact justice. But the bidding of the crowd on this unborn child's corpse disgusts me, and in the eyes of the church should be considered a heinous sin. For is it not said that Simony is the sin of "trafficking for money in spiritual things, roles and services."  To assume that someone could profit from the church's obligations is near heretical, and should be treated as such. 

 

Though there are many sides to every story, and I myself was not there to witness it all- I must take action. For is it not said that Acedia is the sin of moral sloth? Carelessness and negligence of virtue? I am by no means a sinless woman, but I know on this day that my hands and soul are clean from the sins of Acedia, Sacrilege, Simony, and Murder. Can the inquisition say the same? 

 

I pray to Saint Prince Ottomar, that he will guide the poor child's soul towards the higher seven skies. I pray to Saint Julia, that she may forgive the sins of the mother, the sins that may be forgiven. I pray too, that Saint Julia smiles over the casting out of this devil- though I fear she cries at the loss of a mother and child. 

 

GODANI guide you, dear readers. 

 

May the Inquisition's sins be forgiven. 

 

GOD and Saints guide you,

 

Lady Nicolette Arika Amador

After listening to her cousin Liridona read the finished document aloud, the blind woman nods her head sagely. "Da, that ist dobry. Spasiba, Dona... Now, might vy assist me in delivering this missive?" 

 

[Cheese 2307]

Liridona gave a nod of approval as she finished scribing her cousin, Nico's, missive. While she was far from done grieving the losses House Amador had faced today... perhaps this could provide some closure as she continued to mourn Allessandra and the unborn babe.

Ilaria, on the other hand, is just proud of her pious and outspoken daughter.

[Drew2_dude 2130]

"think the more pressin' matter is the fact yer family was harborin' wicked creatures accursed by daemonkind." Otto Gant would muse, reading over the missive.

[satinkira 5920]

". . .Bidding on the corpse of an unborn child in a Church is an abhorrent Sin." Ontillas frowned quite heavily. "But referring to killing a vampyr as 'Sacrilege' is a misguided claim. I would not be so quick to refer to the execution of Darkspawn as murder."

[SlothGod 80]

Quincey Varoche reads this missive over, nodding. Darkspawn are evil, but we needn't stoop to their level! The life of a child is sacred!

A friend that pious woman had only seen once rejoiced. Yet, she prepared for the work to come in the following months, perhaps this was a good opportunity for her grand plan. This missive was folded neatly, sliding in a hidden bookshelf somewhere. Ingrid-Basilia-Angelika preparing her new collection.

[__WaterFox__ 631]

"T'is is barbaric... No matter how you look at it. T'is is barbaric", Grimhildr muttered before setting the missive aside. She then looked over at her three year old daughter with brow knit in worry.

[Mio 3771]

Aleksandr II raises a brow at the Amador’s publishings…

[lalo 297]

Evander Amador donned a haggard expression as the events of such a grievous day had been told to him.

"Allessandra. . . well, 'least she wasn't blood-related." he shook his head, reading over the missive as soon as he saw it posted about. "The poor babe - dear Godan! What of Percy...?" he hastily signed the lorraine across his body.

[ReveredOwl 5331]

"Damage control at its finest, House Amador had a vampyre housed in their roof, I find it hard to believe that none of them knew what she was. She was a vampyre and was justly slain. If the vampyre hadn't tried to flee then the child would still be alive, those bidding on the corpse were not part of the Inquisition and were told to leave." remarked Andrik. "The whole of House Amador ought be tested, they show a suspicious amount of sympathy of a beastial vampyre."

"Honestly, this is a weird take. After all my family has accomplished and sacrificed  for this Kongzem? This weighs heavy on my heart. What shame, humiliations, mockery the Kongzem had put on mea family's name. Pathetic," the old Knight Paramount and later deceased Elder of House Amador, Ser Karl Ruslan Amador, seethed, gritting his teeth at the gates of the seven skies in response from the blasphemy that has been displayed from SEVERAL members of the Kongzem of Hanseti-Ruska. "Vy deserved better, little one,"  The late babe of Allessandra and Sterling Amador's nestled in the Knights arms, cooing with innocence.

 

---------------------

 

Little Karl Isaak Amador sat silently in the corner of his room, his body rested upon the cotton sheets of his bed as he mourned the loss of  his deceased Aedymamej and coz. The child rolled up in a ball and stared at the cobbled, stone wall with an emotionless stare. Tears welded up in his eyes and held tight to his toy Hedgehog, not knowing the circumstances or repercussions that had transpired in front of his own little eyes, "Iblees, GODAN shall condemn vy... GODAN shall strike vy down..."

"Do nicht blame ein Kingdom for ihr kin's choices, Karl; it was her who put this upon du lot, nicht those who made wrongs right." Tylos III retorted as he moved towards the old knight, a man he had known for a time in the plane of the living. "To imply it is the actions of those pious followers of His word, und nicht the actions of this woman du so desperately try to defend, that has brought shame to ihr house, implies House Amador puts Iblees above GOTT. A terrible look, would du nicht agree?" His eyes shot down towards the babe in question. "They deserved exactly what they got. Their mutter knew of the curse it would live with, being borne of such a foul beast, und she would've allowed it to happen regardless. At least it was given death with its dignity intact. Can't say that for all who perished on that day." he then signed the Lorraine with his right hand before continuing to watch idly upon those of Jorenus.

[Olox_ 3380]

The Prince of Merryweather, Heinrich II Lothar, was sitting in the office of the Grand Peer when a copy of this missive was brought to him by his Ranger, Dietrich Faust. The Prince carefully read the document before commenting on it "Amadors harboured darkspawn under their roof, that is the point missing in all of this."  Then a snort left his nostrils "We have seen a situation similar to this one before, hopefully the Crown of Haense will hold them to account." He concluded, before folding the paper in half and slipping it into one of his drawers
