Everard II deep within isolation and unable to reply, leaves his trust in the Pentarchy. Such words from a man not inducted or versed in the Holy Scrolls is heresy. Our lord GOD has placed his trust in the previous Pontificates and has done so within our current Church. If the only two examples you can find are John of Darfey and Regulus then you are unfortunately at a loss, for let us not forget Blessed Daniel I, St. Lucien, St. Everard, Blessed Adeodatus, High Priests Marcus, and Bernard, this Church has produced pious men and women. As for your interpretation of Canon Law, his Holiness bares no responsibility for the twisting of previous legislation passed under the yoke. He will however prioritize the updating of Canon Law as well as amend the finite passage that allowed the Auditor to act in the manor he did. The trial of Father Augustus was done without the knowledge of his Holiness and he has thus condemned it within our holy circles. As for the Inquisition, it is common knowledge already that it has been reforged with temperate multiple Bulls ago, as you can see here: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/135220-ninth-golden-bull-of-dibley/ The Pontificate, along with the rest of our holy Church only act to protect the missionaries of her faith, this includes her defender, his Imperial Majesty. For let us not forget that it was our Holy Church that first accepted pious John Horen's reign, not the squabbling nobility. The Holy Emperor, appointed by GOD through the hand of OUR PONTIFICATE has been stalwartly defended within our holy Church and until the day in which he ascends to the heavens to be with our Lord this Church will continue to do so. https://gyazo.com/5b2ae88d5059a8d4c3abc0e338754f89 The Church furthermore invites John Tuner to join the clergy if he wishes to express his ecclesiastical opinions with access to our holy scripture. John Luther, a budding apostate, pens his own response: "This letter has three main sections. In the first, I argue that the canonist church stands for rogue authority, social directives, and onerous laws that weaken personal freedoms. In the second, I make it clear that the canonists chivvy logorrheic losels to their side by convincing them that ebola, AIDS, mad-cow disease, and the hantavirus were intentionally bioengineered by polyloquent, crass con artists for the purpose of population reduction. And in the third and final section, I conclude that the apothegms that its confreres are so proud of are woefully profligate. Many of the arguments I'm about to make rest upon the rock-solid principles of freedom of thought and freedom of speech. If it weren't for these freedoms, I wouldn't be allowed to tell you that it seems to be involved in a number of illegal or borderline-illegal activities. For Luciensport and its hirelings, tax evasion and financial chicanery are scarcely outside the norm. Even financial fraud and thievery seem to be okay. What's next? Using our weaknesses to its advantage? I can say only that canonists are not only immoral but amoral. To wrap up, I'll just hit the key elements of this letter one last time. First, the idea of letting the canonist church malign and traduce me is, in itself, self-righteous. Second, its shills, while small in number, have powerful vocal chords. And finally, in the genesis of its half-measures, fatuous begat prudish, which begat sappy, which begat cranky. I'm sorry, but I just can't avoid talking about Everard. With this letter, I hope to burn away social illness, exploitation, and human suffering. But first, I would like to make the following introductory remark: I, hardheaded cynic that I am, have a New Seed's resolution for Everard: He should pick up a book before he jumps to the blinkered conclusion that the Universe belongs to him by right. At this point in the letter, I'd like to categorize for you some of his belief systems. Unfortunately, they're far too slatternly and mordacious to fit neatly into any single, overarching framework, so the best I can do is to convey the message that if Everard can give us all a succinct and infallible argument proving that those of us who oppose him would rather run than fight, I will personally deliver his Nobel Prize for Crapulous Rhetoric. In the meantime, Everards' older teachings were wily enough. His latest ones are definitely beyond the pale. The most obvious criticism of Everard is that he has a massive superiority complex. That concept can be extended, mutatis mutandis, to the way that following Everard' words left to right and down a page is like following fingernails on a chalkboard. If you doubt this, just ask around. On a closing note, I hope that this letter, while incomplete, informal, and having no authority except its own inner strength and conviction, has clearly demonstrated to you that Everard has the seeds of his own destruction built right into his truculent worldview." By the Grace of GOD, John Luther
