Imperial Rehabilitation Order || Crisis of Faith

[wolfdwg 2677]

 

 

 

Without law, we are but savages destined to be writhing beasts in mire and stagnation. Purpose is given to those who serve the Imperium’s interest. Station and powers are afforded to those competent, the higher echelons deem worthy. When derelict of one’s duties, and personal ambition is sought over the true holders of power, a reminder is to be made. Thus I pen this official Rehabilitation Order to said individuals.

 

✠

 

Holyman Iudas

Holyman James Vursur

 

You shall either turn yourselves in at your immediate convenience or the Dragon Knight, Sir Corswain the Hospitaller; or any holy priest shall bring you in bindings before the Holy Imperator, his Imperial Majesty, Hadrian I, with the anointed priest Sir Corswain in attendance to enact judgment of your misconduct that you have acted without guidance of the True Faith.

 

Adhere to this and no harm shall befall you; resist, however, and you shall find yourselves brigands, anathema to our Holy Imperium.

 

Let the flame grant you wisdom, and not act a fool.

 

 

 

HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Hadrian I of the House Horen, by the Grace of GOD, 

Emperor of Man, Holy Imperator, King of Seventis, Salvus, Renatus & Oren, 

Duke of Middelan, Helena, Lorraine, Sunholdt and Reutov, Baron of Pestilles,

Protector of Grense, Protector of the Heartlanders, Patriarch of House Horen & the Tiberian Dynasty, 

Captain-General of the Church, Defender of the Faith.

ALEA IACTA EST

 

HIS IMPERIAL EXCELLENCY, Sir Arn Honeywine,

Grand Knight of the Empire of Man,

Ordermaster of the Order of the Red Dragon,

Fist of the Emperor,

Badger of the Midden.

"The scandal..." Father Martin Alstion remarks upon hearing of the news, his nose deep in his anti-Sigismund writings. 

[Lortime 1153]

"Magister Iudas? I highly doubt that. He is a steadfast, pious, and venerable prefect of the faith." Parzival shook his head. There were no realms left to conquer, except for GOD's domain, apparently: the Temple itself. 

[Nectorist 12869]

Valentin Burgundy, on the path to becoming a priest, reads the announcement with trepidation. At least he was young enough to not have to worry about these matters for now, though the prospect of getting older does not necessarily excite him.

[Security_ 2287]

"Interesting." A raev commented.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE HOLY SEE

LET IT BE CLARIFIED;

The priests are not judged by the authority of the EMPEROR. For only the Mother Church has the right to judge the priesthood. They will be judged by CORSWAIN whom is of the Presbyterate by the allowance of Our Laurel. Only a priest may judge over another priest. Their punishment shall come from the Church; not the Seneschal. We shall also be present for these proceedings. Neither, does the Emperor have the right to declare those of the priesthood ANATHEMA or COMDEMN unto DEATH. His scribe has been overly liberal with the interpretations of what was agreed upon. We do not comdemn Seneschal Hadrian for this. We clarify. Let it be known; only the CHURCH may judge those sworn into the SANCTIFIED PRIESTHOOD.

A young guardsman dreams that night, for unknown reasons, of shooting a mouthy priest. In the morning he awakens, refreshed and smiling.

“What my Holy Vicar says is true,” The Emperor advocated, staring at the numerous tools used in the rehabilitation torture of priests prisoners.

[Eliseth 134]

A woman with a vibrant red curl looked over the missive, she herself recalling memories of her interactions with Iudas. She shook her head as she took a sip of a tea. "What could that man have done to cast the eyes of the Empire upon him?" She questioned, a tounge click escaped her. Folding up the missive and setting it aside as she continued to enjoy the remainder of her tea. 

[trinn 5128]

"In all of this, The Elven Prince Galahad rightfully condemned by a very, very firm hand for having . . eh, opinions and thoughts,"

 

The Imperial Princess Joan spoke in her path home to Valentina @kuerbis,

 

"And  finally a Just and very, very striking Punishment is given to the Lord Baruch who dared to let his son find love and happiness.  A good day for our Imperium, What wise decrees my brother has made today."

At the behest of Emperor Hadrian's most vicious hand, Galahad was swiftly course corrected from such an erring path. God save the Emperor.

bernard we need to kill the bellyslappers before we argue about temporal and Ecclesiastical authority, you have been most pragmatic in your assertions here

[Fluffy Horror 496]

"The Church must have decided that stealing babies to experiment on to determine the nature of evil was too much. Thank GOD. Someone needed to stop that Iudas." Gloria comments, relieved that the innocent twins of Bron's wouldn't be subject to Iudas's cruel plans anymore.

[Onnensr 1908]

Cardinal Emeritus Nerium paused his experimentation upon a set of twins to glance at the missive that had just arrived by carrier-hummingbird. It's heart promptly gave out and died after the parchment was dropped, but he set out sweetened water all the same to attract and train its replacement. He released a long hum, pursed his lips, shook his head, and returned to his science.
