Crevel 4727 Share Posted October 28, 2023 [!] A public missive would be pinned on the noticeboards of the numerous Canonist realms to get the attention of the various Cardinals of the Canonist Church. However, its publicity would also make easy-reading for curious onlookers. [!] Spoiler Call for Pontifical Rebuke 11th of Tobias’ Bounty, 1948 I.S.T. To the Esteemed Eminences of the College of Cardinals, In these times of strife, when the light of our faith should shine brightest, we find ourselves at a crossroads that demands our attention and prayerful consideration. The position of High Pontiff, the Vicar of God, is one of immense significance in the life of our Church. Its role in serving as the shepherd and paramount temporal authority of the faithful by divine right is something of which there can be no comparison. However, it is our duty to acknowledge the failings of our High Pontiff to ensure that we do our part in ensuring the faithful are always in the good tidings of the Lord GOD. It is without doubt that the signs of slothfulness have crept into the Church’s most sacred office, threatening the very essence of our faith. Sloth is not merely a laziness of the body, but a sluggishness of the soul. It is a sin that gnaws at the foundation of our devotion, causing us to neglect the responsibilities entrusted to us by the Lord GOD. Our Church, under the guidance of the High Pontiff, is meant to be a beacon of hope, a refuge for the weary, and a source of divine wisdom. Yet, we find ourselves witnessing a decline in the efficacy of our current High Pontiff in providing confidence for our faithful throughout Aevos. In time’s past we saw our priests being attacked, kidnapped, and murdered by enemies of our faith. Our faithful were being poisoned by a host of deceitful nuns and others claiming to be nuns numbering more than a dozen, and yet we did not hear comforting words from our High Pontiff in these trying times when we needed it most. No. We heard fear from men, women, and children who did not trust our nuns. We heard bounties being placed on all nuns by Canonist lords who feared for the safety of those they ruled over in their demesnes. It is unacceptable, and this was being done under the watch of High Pontiff Sixtus V. Even now, we see the failure of the Canonist League. A pivotal concordat that had the possibility to provide opportunities for the advancement of all of Canondom’s economic, militaristic, and scholarly interests. However, the High Pontiff squandered these opportunities with his disregard for the temporal and spiritual needs of the Canonist kingdoms. His inaction and lack of guidance has contributed to an undisputable rift between the realms of Canondom. We see this as the Kingdom of Petra and the United Kingdom of Aaun have left the Canonist League as a result of the League of Veletz’s mistreatment as a Canonist entity. We see this as a war is on the horizon between the Kingdom of Haense and the United Kingdom of Aaun. A war of this magnitude would be rife with Canonist blood, but it would not have come to be if the High Pontiff performed his divine duty as a Humble Servant of the Faithful. The Curia is an essential council for the Church's governance. It stands as a testament to the commitment to our divine mission that started officially with the Exalted Owyn, but goes even earlier to the Exalted Horen. However, recent times have shown a failure to ensure that it is operating as efficiently as it can. The faithful deserve a curia that functions harmoniously and diligently, upholding the tenets of our faith and ensuring that our Church is a force for good in a world so in need of spiritual guidance. With the disappearance of Father Armand many years ago from a likely death from old age or illness, we have not seen a formal replacement take his place in the position of Auditor of the Tribunal to enforce Canon Law, issue ecclesiastical penalties, and conduct investigations in matters relevant to heresy, apostasy, and other attacks on our faith. Instead, our hardworking Antonius Cardinal Artorus has had to take it upon himself on top of his pre-existing duties as the Prelate of the Clergy to act in the Mother Church’s interests as an acting Auditor. While we cannot deny that he has been performing these duties well, even proving the innocence of the Von Augustens, this overlap is entirely unnecessary. Canondom has more than enough passionate clergy to justify appointing a new Auditor of the Tribunal. With a new Auditor of the Tribunal appointed, both the Prelature and Tribunal can perform with the utmost efficiency. This is especially important if war is to come to Canondom when an Auditor is most important to maintain Canon Law throughout the realms. In the face of this reality, we must ponder the gravity of our situation. While it would be preferable that Sixtus V abdicates of his own volition and I encourage him to do so, we are in a period where we cannot rely on the High Pontiff to act for the good of Canondom. Thus, it is not out of malice or spite but a deep-seated love for our faith and a concern for its future that I bring forth the proposition of the College of Cardinals issuing a unanimous rebuke of Sixtus V so that a new High Pontiff may be elected. As we know from the Scroll of Gospel when the Lord GOD reprimands the Exalted Godfrey, we all fall short of the Lord and we are all capable of suffering from sin as we are rewarded for following His virtues. It is important that we recognise that the High Pontiff, too, is fallible and subject to the same temptations and weaknesses as any of us. However, the position of the High Pontiff demands an unrelenting commitment to the teachings of GOD and the responsibilities inherent in his role. To allow slothfulness to persist in the highest office of our Church is to risk the continued suffering of our faith. We cannot afford to falter in our duty.
