Ecclesiae Sanctae Sedis Apostolicae

"The Holy Church of the Apostolic See"


Brothers and Sisters!

Believers, non-believers, Men of God, Laity, Friends and Enemies, hear these words!

His Holiness, Alexander Romanus XXI, the Pope of the Apostolic Christian Church, has issued me with this mandate.

"To go forth, to find our kinsmen and fellow men of faith, and to provide for them the finest houses of worship possible. Give the believers a place to speak to God, worthy of the name 'Church'. Through this, show the power and glory of the Lord to all, and encourage others to step into the way of light. Amen."


And so, with this in mind, I come before you, the leaders of the world, with a proposition.

We, the Holy Church of the Apostolic See, will build Churches, Cathedrals, Nunneries, Monastries and any other form of religious building you require. Simply ask, and ye shall recieve. We do not seek to meddle and interfere with your Government, we do not wish to influence your leaders or control your armies. We simply wish to build Houses of God, where his flock may worship.

However, before we grant thee thy request, we request of you this information...

Name of Nation
Number of Apostolic Christians in your nation (%)
What form of building would you like? (Church, Cathedral, Nunnery, etc)
Is your national leader a member of our Church? If not, would s/he consider converting?
Would you like to send a Cardinal to the Holy City to represent the Believers in your nation?
If so, please provide his name, and any other important pieces of information about him.


And so, with that, my Children, we will grant you a place of worship to be proud of, and since we will pay all construction costs out of the vaults of the Holy Mother Church, it will cost you not one cent.

IF your nation is Secular, or not Christian, we will still build Churches in your nation to meet the needs of Christians there, should they request it. We trust you will convey their pleas to us, in a non-biased and open-minded fashion.

"Place your trust in The Lord, not in Princes. Place your hope in The Lord, not in Mankind".

"Oro ut solum quod iter itineris via, veritas et vita. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."

Transcribed by His Eminence, Cardinal Joseph Lucchese, Chancellor of the Apostolic See, and Deputy to His Holiness, Alexander Romanus XXI.

Honourable nation of The Apostolic Seel,

we feel it is our duty to inform you of the amount of Apostolic Christians in our nation. At the moment, this number is below 100 in total and therefore not officially recognized. Our biggest religions are (Atheism,) Christianity (Lutheran), Buddhism.

The Crataan Government upholds the principle of seperating church and state. We do not currently have a minister regarding spiritual aspects. Religion is not represented in our Government. Therefore, we will not ask you to establish any churches within our nation. Church attendance has reached a low just today.

We wish you the best of luck.

Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Gray

Dear Dr. Gray,

Whilst we find it deeply troubling that spirituality has lapsed to such an extent in your nation, we are still grateful for your polite response, and graciously agree not to build a Church within your nation. Of course, we cannot force salvation onto those who do not accept it. If, in the future, the number of worshippers in your nation rises, and they petition you for a formal place of worship, feel free to apply then.

In the meantime, the Holy Father offers up his prayers to God, that you may find the way, and so step into the light of the Lord.

"Oro ut solum quod iter itineris via, veritas et vita. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."

TO The representatives of the Apostolic See
FROM Meridian City, Chamber of Commerce
RE. (untitled)
In designing Meridian City, it became painfully clear that the religious and spiritual needs of the citizens were not being met. While Meridian City councillors firmly believe that the separation of the church and state is the best way to go for a business-oriented government and the Syndicate, nevertheless a sizeable amount of the population is Christian, and we would like to have an official place of worship available for them.

The Right Honourable His Eminance Cardinal Thomas Carey, who emigrated from the now-dissolved Duchy of Valdova in order to represent the believers in Meridian City would be interested in representing us once more in the Holy City. Born and ordained in Vakarinis, Valdova in 1957, he studied theology at Reming College. We hope that you welcome His Eminence, and sincerely look forward to the construction of a new cathedral in Meridian City. Attached is the requested information for the construction of a cathedral.

 Yours sincerely,
 The Chamber of Commerce, Meridian City

"The Holy Church of the Apostolic See"


Dear Sirs/Madams of the Chamber of Commerce,

Thank you for petitioning the See for a Cathedral. We appreciate your concern to keep Church and State seperate, and rest assured, our goal is not to interfere in the workings of your government. We seek only to provide our flock with a place to give thanks for the Lord's bounty. We will immediately begin construction of "Saint Paul's Apostolic Cathedral", a huge building, an artist's rendering of which can be viewed below.

Image


As far as His Eminence Cardinal Thomas Carey goes, we graciously invite him to take his seat in the Holy Conclave of the City of the Apostles. With your permission, we would like to grant him the position of "Papal Chamberlaine", a ceremonial position which grants him close access to the Holy Father, and great influence within our Church. This is as a sign of good faith towards the first foreign Cardinal to return to the Holy City.

Once more, we thank you for helping us spread light to those who desire to hear the Word.

"Oro ut solum quod iter itineris via, veritas et vita. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen."

Your excellence,

we, the United Kingdom of Ynys Golau, are willing to declare the deep and unconditional belief in our Lord and savior from both our people and the Royal Houses. It is our intent to put our Bishops and Priests under the control of the Holy Catholic Church and His Holiness The Pope. If it is the will of His Holiness, Bishop Ulrich of High Rock will gladly accept the cardinalate, or any other man of God His Holiness will find worthy. We have many huge churches in our nation and would also ask His Holiness to accept them as Catholic Churches and, if it is His will, to sanctify the biggest church in High Rock as a cathedral.

Your faithful servants,

The Earls and Lords of Ynys Golau, represented by their King John Telerion



Name of Nation The United Kingdom of Ynys Golau
Number of Apostolic Christians in your nation (%) 145,000,000 (85.5 %)
What form of building would you like? (Church, Cathedral, Nunnery, etc) We already have the buildings but would like them being accepted as Catholic Churches
Is your national leader a member of our Church? If not, would s/he consider converting? He is Catholic
Would you like to send a Cardinal to the Holy City to represent the Believers in your nation? Yes
If so, please provide his name, and any other important pieces of information about him. Bishop Ulrich of High Rock would be our prefered candidate to become cardinal. He is 79 years old and served many years as de-facto leader of the Catholics in our nation and as a priest in his local church

Name of Nation: Romanov Island
Number of Apostolic Christians in your nation (%): Less than 1%. Most here belong to Romanov Orthodox Church except for the Romak who are mostly animists.
What form of building would you like? (Church, Cathedral, Nunnery, etc) The Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel in the Eparchy
of Moryevo is in disrepair to the point of needing demolition but the eparchy is poor and cannot afford a new cathedral. The government could pay for it but it would require a substantial tax increase.
Is your national leader a member of our Church? If not, would s/he consider converting? The Tsar is Orthodox but there are conditions under which he, and the nation, might convert. See below.
Would you like to send a Cardinal to the Holy City to represent the Believers in your nation? Possibly: see below
If so, please provide his name, and any other important pieces of information about him.
The head of the Romanov Orthodox Church is Patriarch Maximos, who is 63 years old, celibate as are all our bishops, an advisor to the Tsar and member of the House of Nobles. If the Romanov Orthodox Church were to be united to the Apostolic See as a distinct Romanov Rite, with a common faith but keeping its own historic rituals and traditions, Patriarch Maximos would be a cardinal.

Pax Christi!

Islas Filippinas is a predominantly Catholic in religion -- more specifically, the native variant Sarado Catolico. Its teachings are the same but infinitely more rigid. We punish those who do not go to Sunday mass at least a month. It's in our constitution.

Quite recently, there has been clamor in communities for nunneries. Perhaps your gracious country can erect one in the quiet village of Postola 50 kilometers away from Intramuros, the capital. Here is the filled up form:
Name of Nation: Islas Filippinas
Number of Apostolic Christians in your nation (%): 98% of Catholic, 70% of which follow Sarado Catolisismo
What form of building would you like? (Church, Cathedral, Nunnery, etc): Nunnery
Is your national leader a member of our Church? If not, would s/he consider converting?: Techincally, he is Catholic but follows Sardado Catolisismo.
Would you like to send a Cardinal to the Holy City to represent the Believers in your nation?: If you can but it is not needed.
If so, please provide his name, and any other important pieces of information about him.

Name of Nation: Novus Kanaan
8% of our people follow Apostoloc Christianity, That´s a lot if you do the math

We would like Nunneries and Churces in the imperial provinces outside Kanaan, since it is there we have most of your followers.

Our Lord Archcanon is a stance defender of Messiano Christovo (our national religion) and is not considering to convert. Our Prime Minister is also a devout follower of this religion.

We would like to send Jarnarji Kpuraecs as representative to become our Cardinal for the Apostolic Church . He is a devout follower and diplomatic man.


Blessings and Great Health from The Theocratic Empire of Novus Kanaan.

TO: The Representatives of the Apostolic See
FROM: The Radiatian Office of Religious Immigration


It has come to the attention of the Office of Religious Immigration that the Holy Church of the Apostolic See wishes to build churches throughout the Radiatian Federation.

We are aware of the existence of one million Apostolic Christian Radiatians, from whom we recieved a petition of 400,000 signatures requesting that your church be granted permission to preach, practice and build in our nation.

Before the Office is willing to grant permission, we require information on your faith, teachings and organisation in accordance with the FEDERAL REGULATION OF RELIGION ACT, LET 22, as well as the details outlined in ARTICLE VI, SECTION FOUR of the Radiatian Act of Constitution.

Please answer the following questions, and we will process your application.

1. Does your faith preach any messages contrary to modern reason, science and philosophy? (Such examples include the doctrines of creationism, faith healing, belief in the world as the centre of the universe and disregard for modern medicine.)

2. Does your faith preach discrimination or hate? (Such examples include homophobia, sexism, racism and advocacy of genocide.)

3. Does your faith encourage its followers to take political action or to campaign for its teachings to be entrenched politically?

4. Does your faith encourage its followers to evangelise?

5. a) Does your faith encourage its followers to tithe and offer money to their church?
b) Does your faith encourage even poor and needy followers to give to the church in exchange for a spiritual reward?

Please be aware that if your application to build churches and preach your religion in Radiatia is accepted, there is a 30% Federal Tax on all money raised by the church, as well as the local STT demanded by the various State governments.

If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to telegram me and ask.

Best wishes,

Your Highness,

His Holiness is much heartened to hear of your nations strong faith, and that you have decided to recognise him as God's first Priest upon the Earth. He accepts the pledge of your clergy, and thanks you for this gesture. Rest assured, through them, we will work the Lord's work in your nation, and in the hearts of your people and Government.

His Holiness would be more than happy to accept your Churches into the Holy Mother Church, and has even offered to visit your nation himself, to hold a Mass symbolising the entry of your nation into the fold of Christ. In the future, your Kings may be crowned by the Pope as well, to cement your Dynasty in the eyes of God.

As for His Eminence Bishop Ulrich, we accept him immediately, and announce his promotion to Cardinal of Ynys Golau. If he will make his way to the Holy City as soon as possible, we would like to make him one of the Preferiti, and a possible successor to the Holy Father. This is as a reward for being the Second Cardinal to Join our fold, and for the faith of your nation.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The Holy Mother Church would be most pleased to open up a Nunnery in your nation. The Sisters of Saint Bernadette will begin construction of a convent immediately. We are also glad to see that our faith is by far the majority faith in your nation. His Holiness blesses your country, and wishes it the greatest of fortune and glory in the future. Through this nunnery, we will spread the faith to even greater extents, and before long, your people will be examples of good Christian behaviour to inspire the world.

As for Cardinal Ellis, we will take him to our hearts, and give him luxurious accomodation within the Holy City. From here, he will represent the concerns and views of your nation, as well as tending to the spiritual needs of the flock. He will also be called to vote on the next Holy Father.

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would be happy to finance the demolition of your old cathedral and would be delighted to build a new, even larger one in it's stead. We will also name this one, "The New Cathedral of St. Michael the Archangel", in order to cause as little confusion as possible in the meantime.

As for your offer, we are much intruiged. We see no reason whatsoever why Romanov Orthodoxy cannot be united with the Holy Apostolic Church as a seperate rite, under His Holiness' guidance. If you still agree, then of course, we would be delighted to welcome the Patriarch to the Holy City, and give him the title of Cardinal. Your Church will, officially, become a part of the Holy Apostolic Church, but you will be allowed autonomy within it, to pursue your own historical and cultural "way to God".

If this were the case, would the Tsar be willing to be crowned by the Pope, as a symbol of the Apostolic Church's approval of his appointment by God?

In either case, consider that from now on, our your Patriarch will act as a Cardinal, and together, he and the Holy Father will bring spiritual joy and enlightenment to your great nation.

Pax Christi!

Islas Filippinas is a predominantly Catholic in religion -- more specifically, the native variant Sarado Catolico. Its teachings are the same but infinitely more rigid. We punish those who do not go to Sunday mass at least a month. It's in our constitution.

Quite recently, there has been clamor in communities for nunneries. Perhaps your gracious country can erect one in the quiet village of Postola 50 kilometers away from Intramuros, the capital. Here is the filled up form:
Name of Nation: Islas Filippinas
Number of Apostolic Christians in your nation (%): 98% of Catholic, 70% of which follow Sarado Catolisismo
What form of building would you like? (Church, Cathedral, Nunnery, etc): Nunnery
Is your national leader a member of our Church? If not, would s/he consider converting?: Techincally, he is Catholic but follows Sardado Catolisismo.
Would you like to send a Cardinal to the Holy City to represent the Believers in your nation?: If you can but it is not needed.
If so, please provide his name, and any other important pieces of information about him.


With God and with the People,
Arsobispo Cardin, Archbishop of Sarado Catolico

Dear Sir,

We are more than happy to build a Nunnery in your nation. It will be built by the Order of Saint Mary, one of the most prestigeous orders in our Holy Church. We find your faith, and the religious conviction of your people to be most ardent, if perhaps forced. Remember, that one cannot be forced to believe, and you may be driving people away from faith by attempting to force them. However, we applaud the sentiment behind these plans, and believe that your heart is in the right place.

Perhaps you would consider joining Sardado Catholicism with the Apostolic See, as the Romanov Orthodox Church did (see above)? You would still be able to manage your own affairs, and run your nation and religion as you pleased, but you would also be part of something greater, a multi-national faith system that would allow your message to reach millions around the globe.

Whatever you decide, the Nunnery construction is beginning as we speak. We hope to hear from you soon.

Name of Nation: Novus Kanaan
8% of our people follow Apostoloc Christianity, That´s a lot if you do the math

We would like Nunneries and Churces in the imperial provinces outside Kanaan, since it is there we have most of your followers.

Our Lord Archcanon is a stance defender of Messiano Christovo (our national religion) and is not considering to convert. Our Prime Minister is also a devout follower of this religion.

We would like to send Jarnarji Kpuraecs as representative to become our Cardinal for the Apostolic Church . He is a devout follower and diplomatic man.


Blessings and Great Health from The Theocratic Empire of Novus Kanaan.


Dear Sir/Madam,

We will begin construction of Nunneries and Churches within the Provinces you have specified immediately. Wherever there are believers, we must take our message, and build a building worthy of them, and we thank you for your help in this matter. It is unfortunate that your leaders are not followers of the Holy Apostolic See, but we wish them luck nevertheless, in finding peace, in their own way.

We also welcome Cardinal Jarnarji Kpuraecs to the Holy City. I am sure he will represent your nation with great skill, diplomacy, and a spirituality which will prove that your nation is made up of wise, pious and great men.

Your Highness,

His Holiness is much heartened to hear of your nations strong faith, and that you have decided to recognise him as God's first Priest upon the Earth. He accepts the pledge of your clergy, and thanks you for this gesture. Rest assured, through them, we will work the Lord's work in your nation, and in the hearts of your people and Government.

His Holiness would be more than happy to accept your Churches into the Holy Mother Church, and has even offered to visit your nation himself, to hold a Mass symbolising the entry of your nation into the fold of Christ. In the future, your Kings may be crowned by the Pope as well, to cement your Dynasty in the eyes of God.

As for His Eminence Bishop Ulrich, we accept him immediately, and announce his promotion to Cardinal of Ynys Golau. If he will make his way to the Holy City as soon as possible, we would like to make him one of the Preferiti, and a possible successor to the Holy Father. This is as a reward for being the Second Cardinal to Join our fold, and for the faith of your nation.

Your Excellence,

we are thankful and feel honoured for your generous reaction to all our requests. Bishop Ulrich will set out for The Apostolic See within the next three days and looks forward to meet His Holiness. The offer of a possible visit of His Holiness in our nation has enthused our people and we will welcome the Holy Father with joy. If Your Excellence will tell us a date, we will begin to prepare anything for this great hour of our nation's history. We also feel honoured by your suggestion to let the King of Ynys Golau be crowned by His Holiness. High King John Telerion would gladly receive this honour from His Holiness within the borders of the Papal Visit in Ynys Golau to reinforce his rule, and all future Kings may be crowned by His Holiness in the first place.

Your faithful servants,

The Earls and Lords of Ynys Golau, represented by High King John Telerion

I have sent you a telegram about the issue
Kalaspia-Shimarata's flag represents the Union between K&S. The dark blue represents the sea and the light blue represents the sky. In Kalashi language considers light blue and dark blue to be different colours. England colonised, and unified K&S, between 1774 and 1953, and English, light blue and dark blue are considered to be the same colour. Therefore, the contrast between dark blue and light blue represents the union, but the differences between K&S where as blue being two but simultaneously one colour represents K&S being two, but simultaniously one entity. The opposite to the symmetry represents the unity and indipendance of K&S, whilst also representing the Kalashi culture of opposite symmetry.KS is 75% Christian, hence the cross.

Kambalonxia will not tolerate christianity. Numrous groups of nuns and monks have tried to get in and there efforts here have always ended the same. Forced back to the nation they came from. Xeinism is our National Religon followed by Daoism and Buddhism.
