Pope Emmanuel IV, formerly Fernando Amadau, a Genesian missionary deployed to Germany, has shown himself to be guided by a higher force and exhibited moral fiber of the highest degree. By the power vested in this Council, he is named High Chancellor of Hamburg-Bremen, and declared the supreme spiritual leader of all the men, women and children of the world in the hope that they shall one day acknowledge and submit to a higher power, the higher power of God and his voice upon Earth, his holiness Pope Emmanuel IV. All hail. All congratulations an salutations may be offered here. Posted Image Pope Emmanuel IV directly after his coronation at Bremen's Cathedral St. Pietri

The truly faithful demand that such decisions be reversed and that Fernando Amadau return to the robes of a Cardinal. To do anything less will surely doom the faithful of the German realm excommunication and eternal damnation. For there can be only one Pope of the Holy Catholic Church of Genesis City and it shall be of the dos Santos Aveiro-Medici bloodline, a bloodline form which still exists in the world today. -Cardinal Marcus Tilius, Primate to Northern Georgia.

In particular, relationship to His Holiness Saint Pope Emmanuel I would be most welcome. Without such evidence forthcoming, we would be required by concious and by God to join our spiritual cousin, the Emmenent Cardinal Marcus Tilius, in dismissing and opposing this claim. Signed Archbishop Arthur Moore OOC: OK, start working the geneology magic, do your research well, and establish that bloodline, or be willing to be labeled just another anti-pope!

I have no interest in running the Catholic Church, but if someone wanted to establish a legitimate bloodline - they've only to ask and I'll provide you with a suitable character. That said, I'm sure that those most interested in running the Church have their own characters who have a suitable claim. Oh and, consider this IC post a statement of non-recognition. I'm not gonna be waging war on anyone for trying to install a new Pope. I'm just not going to recognise an illegitimate claim. IC: The Dominion does not recognise the authority of The Council of St. Michel or of Mr. Fernando Amadau and will enact Executive Order No. 101 against any party attempting to install an Anti-Pope.

The tale of his ancestry begins with Queen Ursula of the Southern Kingdom of Catholic Europe, sister of Saint Pope Emmanuel I and mother to Prince Leopold (amongst her 17 children). Prince Leopold, upon attaining an age fit for marriage, was unceremoniously betrothed to daughter Christina of the San Martina family, of ancient origin and ample means itself. Christina gave birth to five children, of whom four survived to adulthood. Her youngest son, Cristobal, married a daughter of the equally aristocratic Verdici family, resulting in the birth of seven children of noble blood. From this point, through a succession of male sons coursed His Holiness Saint Pope Emmanuel I's blessed blood, a bloodline passed unto Fernando Amadau by his father Gregorio Amadau (God Rest his Soul), a man of modest means who had taken the name of his mentor the honorable Vitali Amadau, a local metalworker.

This may require travel to the former Southern Kingdom, the Library Archives of King Leopold and other locations. We ask all nations to respect the peaceful quest of the Knight/Researchers and cooperate with their efforts. Archbishop Arthur Moore

The Devil's Advocate Posts: 7,238 Group: Admin Member #7 Joined: December 26, 2003	It was the belief of Nag Ehgoeg that Prince Leopold was killed during the First War of Succession. If documents could be presented in regards to his marriage to Christina San Martina and of his son Cristobal's marriage into the Verdici, this matter could be easily clarified.

The land of Germany has long sat beneath the rule of heretics, yet through the divine workings of the Lord the good and pure have ascended to power once more. I call upon all true Catholics of the world to acknowledge their heavenly father through word and action, fulfilling their obligations to the Church and the Almighty. I call upon the saved to preach unto the damned, so that we might lift the shackles of heresy from the masses, and rise up to complete the heavenly vision of man Our Father forever holds dear. I call upon the saved nations of the world to converse and converge, so that a mighty wall of piety meets all who question the works and wishes of the Lord Our God. I call upon these nations to punish the wicked, yet spare the naive for they know not what they do. I call upon my long deserted followers to lift their faces to the Lord, and bask in a light ne'er so bright nor so pure. I call upon thee, the people of God, to rise once more in a blaze of glory, and to remind the world of Piety in its purest form.

Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	OOC- :P :lol: I was thinking I'd make my European territory independant of Kasnyia as a Papal state, to give it some power with Kasnyia as an ally, or integrating it with the Church of Kasnyia, which has longed to rule itself and effectively make the two factions (Colognianism and Baschism) one and the same. Since there are so few Colognian states left outside Kasnyia (especially with Germany having fallen), I dunno how much of a shift that would be, but there you go. All still in the "maybe" stage though.

Since he's going to be an Ulganian exile, if you have any other Genesian exiles it could be a safe haven.

OOC: Not necessarily, this German Pope has claimed and has been recognized as a decedent of the Royal Popes of the "Genesian" church, formerly the Roman Catholic Church. Now that he has been confirmed and accepted by the remaining Genesian community, we've basically reignited the church. Beyond this Pope, I have two Catholic Royals who can take the Papal throne and I believe NH still has a royal or two himself. So no, the church still lives as does the church of Cologne apparently. Now of course if everyone wants a council could be called to look into the possibility of reuniting the two churches again, but given their different dogmas I'm not sure if a union can be forged but its certainly worth a try.

This College shall provide council as necessary in matters both spiritual and practical, as well as preside over religious observation in the capital city of Hamburg. All nations which formally acknowledge the Genesian Church as the one true religion of man shall be entitled to at least a single seat within the College. Posted Image Papal Directive Duo All true followers of the Lord shall observe the Sabbath clothed in simple linen garments of blue and white. In this era of excess, the roots of piety have been eroded. A show of humility and faith is required to call the faltering once more into the fold, and to reaffirm the power of the Lord over the world of mortal man. Posted Image Papal Directive Tria The domiciles of all true followers of the Lord must contain a cross of simple wood. One's faith must radiate outward from the home, consuming all aspects of life both private and public. Through the demonstration of faith in the form of un-ornamented cross, we harken to the strongest pillar of faith, the ability to embellish through thought and action the simplest of beliefs, the belief in the Lord Our God.
