Ademar

"To the his holiness, and the esteemed cardinals of the Curia,

I write this petition in order to initiate a matter that should have been remedied centuries ago, which regards the sainthood of Vytenis of Visigia (Luciensport). Through my studies of the accounts of brother Polycarp during the procession of the fifth empire I stumbled upon the diaries of Leon of Amuray, a brother of the canonist faith who created Luciensport with Baldwin De Bar, and many assorted others. 

Under such research it is to my understanding that Vytenis is worthy of such nomination. The bastard son of the wicked Bishop Karol Andriukaitis and an unknown De Bar counterpart, Vytenis encountered brother Amuray during the Duke's War in Brelus, where he met his cousin Baldwin for the first time. Together the three of them created one of the most prominent Holy Sees in the history of the cannon. 

Among his holy achievements as a knight of the Black Sepluchers: 

-A prominent figure in the Tarchary crusade, defeating Tuhaj Bej in single combat.

-Brought to justice, Arsten Bedell who attempted to burn Sister Lorina Carrion.

-Brought to justice, Sergius De Bar, guilty of burning the cathedral during the sacking of Brelus.

-Part of the downfall of the Savoyard dynasty, and installment of Emperor John I, serving as the first Imperial Chamberlain of the fifth empire.

-Died defending his emperor from a harbinger in Eastcliffe, during a masked ball. 

I find these list of achievements rather large and worthy of such a nomination, 

May God bless us all,

Ademar of Owynsburg."

Wolves Among the Sheep: a Document on False Apparitions.

The young Acolyte Ademar of Owynsburg rushed to the quarters of the Cardinal of Reinmar, missive in his hand. The Cardinal sitting against the warm fire, feeling the heat waves pulsate against his legs, raised his reading glasses skimming through the missive, he remarked to the young Acolyte, “It seems the wolves have made their arrival to the herd. These wolves in the shape of Shepherds endanger our church, and our pious followers to days that one could only compare to Darfeyism.” Ademar peered over to Ailred asking, “What is Darfeyism?” Ailred sighed retorting, “These were days when our church was highly politicised, the high pontiff John of Darfey, murdered kings, Saint Wilfriche, and others to reach power and tamper in politics that have proved to be most unholy. It seems our young priest was rather indulged by other parties.” 

Ademar leaves the room seeing the Cardinal gone silent, Ailred would begin to write a missive against the fire, 

“Good men and good wives I wish to address the recent document made by Father Dima who’s last name I shall not address since I would simply disgrace not only three saints, but a prophet who carried that surname proudly, so I shall address him as Father Tuvyic. I must also admit with the utmost gravity that I am ashamed to be needed to respond to this wicked missive written by Father Tuvyic, and it makes me contemplate the state of which our beloved church has reached.

As my venerable colleague Manfried Cardinal St. Julia, joined in a similar opinion by Bishop Benedict, said in the Ecumenical Council regarding apparitions: “we must treat returning souls who claim to be of virtuous and Saintly origin with great scrutiny.”

There are two main ways to examine an apparition. First is to look at the message itself, and determine is this indeed a message that would be sent by the Heavens. Second is an examination of the witnesses themselves and the accuracy of their testimony. 

First, to examine the message of this apparition, we can  look at two main factors:

1. Was the message meaningful and did it achieve its intended purpose(God does not mince His words)?

2. Was the message and the action it directed in accordance with Church’s Law and Teachings(for God would never order sin)?

1. First we examine the meaning of the message. In their recent call for a Synod, Cardinal Cyril and Father Dima Tuvyic would have us believe Bl. Seraphim appeared to stop the Conclave and the election of Owyn III. And yet, as Cardinal Cyril tells us, he voted for Owyn III once again after the apparition. Are we to believe Bl. Seraphim was unable to get the message across? That he spoke in vain? 

Furthermore, by the time Cardinal Cyril had voted, in either his first or second vote(both cast for Owyn III), His Holiness had already reached a majority of the College. His election was already secure. If Bl. Seraphim sought to stop the election, why would he appear after His Holiness had already achieved a majority, and how would he still fail to prevent Cardinal Cyril voting for Owyn III once again? Can an apparition of Almighty God be that inept and unaware? Obviously not. Therefore, it is clear that this apparition, even if real, made no attempt to stop the election of His Holiness, as these men allege.

2. Secondly, we look at the lawfulness of the actions Cyril and Tuvyic allege this apparition encouraged. They tell us that Bl. Seraphim wanted the election to be stopped and, failing that, for these two to declare the election invalid and call a synod. Yet, it is the Vice Chancellor who runs pontifical elections, and only he has the power to call and abrogate them. If Bl. Seraphim had appeared to the Vice Chancellor, the election could have lawfully been stopped. If Cardinal Cyril had even made the Vice Chancellor aware of the apparition when he cast his second ballot, the election could lawfully have been stopped. But instead, we’re to believe God ordered these two to break the Canon Law, engage in insubordination and acts that incur automatic excommunication, and with no authority declare an election invalid and illegally call a synod with no authority to do so? God does not order His faithful to sin, and so this could not have been so. 

Next, we look to the authenticity and self-consistency of the witness' testimony. Cyril and Tuvyic would have us believe they saw this apparition prior to Cyril casting his second ballot, before the election had ended. And yet, Cyril did not inform the College of Cardinals of the apparition when he sent the second ballot. Nor did Tuvyic. Both these men were silent as the election concluded, and did not contest it. They did not inform us at the enthronement, or share their misgivings. Not a word or hint came out of either of them about this supposed apparition or the invalidity of the election until a full month after the enthronement of His Holiness. Why would these men stay silent on such an important matter for so long? Cyril even accepted a promotion and new positions from His Holiness. Why would he do this if he believed the election invalid? Why did he not speak of the apparition sooner, except no with no proof to cause chaos and cast doubt? Why, in fact, would God have the apparition be witnessed by only two apparently mute men after the election, in a way that no one can confirm, instead of in front of the whole College so the election could have been stopped?

It is clear, then, to any man of faith or reason that these men are liars and their apparition a politically motivated fabrication. In the service of the Denier, these charlatans slander the name of Bl. Seraphim and paint him an idiot, telling us he tried and failed in delivering his message, and ordered these men sin and betray their Church. Defaming blessed departed, fabricating apparitions, denouncing an election they participated in, separating themselves from His Holiness and his faithful, these men are nothing more than clerical mercenaries committing schism for their own benefit. Walking in the footsteps of Darfey, they use his same tactics to split the Church with the same lies and slander he did. To follow them would be to follow Aesterwald, to curse the name of the saints of the Schism War, and to rip the Church in two parts once again.

This false apparition only stains our Church and returns us to ailments of our church which we have thankfully discarded. We are not a church that allows outsiders to sway the views and opinions of our clergy, nor of our faithful, and those within our ranks who enable such cowardice and wickedness should reconsider their holy vows. If we shall let this fabrication pass, then we have simply lost our way. It begins with this fabricated apparition and ends in the death of innocent followers of the Canon. How many of our saints and blessed have died by the hands of political wickedness? Far too many to count. I refuse to let us return to such a dark era and I plead the Vice Chancellor and our faithful to disavow these wicked writings and follow what is clear in their heart.

This is NOT God’s will, When God sent the apparition of Ex. Godfrey to the post-Franciscan Massacre Oren, He sent him to unify a divided mankind and a divided faithful under St. Peter. God does not send messengers to divide, to cast doubt and uncertainty. He sends them to cast light, to assure and to guide us. To bring unity and not division. He would not divide the Church by casting doubt on a pontifical election with only the spurious testimony of just two men.

I lastly dedicate this response to all those who gave their life to combat the wicked politics of our Church, during the Francisian Massacre, the Knight’s rebellion, and the Schism war.” 

The Cardinal would give the missive to the young Acolyte to pen around Almaris. 

9 hours ago, Boniface said:

Writings from the vile and wretched do not make it to the virtuous in the seven skies, he instead heard of the writing, that makes Adrian's nose turn brown and stinky, from a recently passed soul who read the missive and dried of frustration and a broken heart having been abandoned by the spiritual authority of the church.

Correct, vile and wretched literature reach into the void, in its very darkest corners, where you Friar Boniface the human embodiment of Iblees' ugly second cousin creep in. Leave us be at last you utter buffoon!

1 hour ago, Boniface said:

“Lets be honest, we all knew there would be no justice from the start. They protect their own and the people will see it clear as day, it is an absolute farce and i’m only glad people have finally woken up to it. They were literally overheard bragging about it in the tavern but that is deemed insufficient proof.” stated Boniface in his home as he heard of the news.

Would sigh remarking, “The devil excretes and this Boniface eats. Put a sock in it.”

“Do not mock me and claim my assertions are false, if you are unable to see what is clearly transpiring in the midst of our faithful then I shall not argue, it seems you have based my eyesight purely on narrative. I shan’t deny any wrongdoings in the church and I do not claim it to be perfect, I merely think you are exaggerating it’s faults and are creating problems which are nonexistent. I do not mean to educate you, but I must remind you of the days of Darfey and the days of John Turnbull where one would use their holy capacity as a means to plott and murder those who oppose them. Moreover, I am glad to declare that we /could/ not be farther from that reality thanks to our pontiff who is truly a righteous man.

The very fact /you/ wish for the pontiff to step down, and I am putting a rather hard emphasis on ‘you’ because it seems to me you are the only former man of cloth who keeps spewing this none-sense, means you hold some irrational vice towards him, which leads one to believe you are sewing dissent. When one creates problems for another it is assumed he does so to spite him.

And to respond to your final paragraph, I do not take kindly to your forked tongue writing utter slander and false accusations on myself, the very notion of you believing that was what I meant proves what a slothful and delusional man you are, and merely proves that indeed you will have no one who will love you or show you compassion, because you are such a vile being. And I shall reiterate, I am writing on behalf of myself not the pontiff.”

“You seem to not fully grasp my argument, Boniface. I am suggesting that your words are derived from contempt, hatred, and fein from reality. I would argue and declare that as long as our pontiff does not plott to murder kings and fellow men of the cloth, we are on a fine and righteous path. And as to your none-sense of empty churches and sin, I barely see enough of you which begs the question how you reached that assumption? While I have roamed through the lands of men I have seen plenty of clergy preaching and taking confessions from those who wish to rid of their ill tidings, a recourse which I would highly suggest you do, Boniface. You are nothing but a false Shepard spewing utter dribble and sowing dissent between the ranks of the faithful, convincing GOD’s believers to turn against he who sits on the holiest of thrones. You are a shameful pig and I feel utter disgust in merely replying to you, not because you demand a reform, but because I am certain that you are driven by hate and not GOD.”

Ademar would look outside to the bustling streets of Reza and continue to write, “I warn you now, Boniface, if I see you continuing this utter sham and lead the followers of GOD to believe in false notions, and I say this in no official capacity, only as a fellow man who believes in GOD, you will find comfort in the darkest of places, and the warmth of love and compassion shall be but a distant and rare luxury for you.”

Walking through the truncheoned and brisk winds of Haense, a young man would arrive in Reza eyeing down the fraudulent and ill ridden reform, he would retort to all who were around him, “Good men and good wives who ever you may be, I implore you with the utmost piety and love for GOD to forsake these slothful and inconsequential remarks, made by an incapable and shameful once man of the cloth.” he would point his finger to the long and arduous list of reforms, “I would debunk this dog’s reforms one by one good people of GOD, alas he is not worth our time.”

“ I have seen true men of the cloth, and men who truly care for GOD and his followers, but I would asses from my encounters with this slothful creature that he is motivated by rather ungodly vices and unhealthy ill thoughts on those who sit on the Curia, most prominently being our Pontiff. Do not think of this ‘Bonifacism’ reform as anything worthwhile, rather discard it for a man’s contempt against those who once justifiably deemed him incapable. It truly pains me, to the bottom of my heart to see pious followers of GOD and the cannon taking to heart this none-sense.” He would rise from his chair looking to the crowd amassed next to him, “I shall conclude with this final point. GOD did not make any of us perfect, it was written by the late Cordal Winter, High Pontiff Everad II, that the seven skies are reserved for those who wish to better themselves and others in the eyes of GOD. You are truly faithful followers of GOD, do not let this false Shepard lead you astray.”
