The Adrian Empire wrote:There is no documentation of any Thrinian Catholics in the Adrian Empire, I imagine most have joined the Adrian Catholic Church, all the same proselytizing is absolutely free in the Empire, and if you wish to set up a church you are free to, however the Empire will not provide any funds for your organization, as you might understand doing so would violate secular law. Further more assuming your church does not make any sales there are no taxes which apply to your organization, as the Empire charges only a sales tax to institutions.

There is a nominal fee which covers administrative costs. If, for any reason, a minister is unable to pay this fee...there are a number of sects with a standing policy to assist.
Edit: In light of your recent exchange with Urcea, we, too, would be pleased to accept any Urceans of your faith who come to our fair land.
Following the business last month with Urcea, Wonderchicken did see a modest influx of Thrinian Catholics, most of whom apparently had acquaintances in dezhma Kha-shina. There are now an estimated 250-300 Thrinians that have taken up residence in or around the dezhma seat, Garnahcskhet. An Urcean national calling himself Cornelus van Uitert has applied for his clergy license pursuant to the legal status of his position at the head of this small congregation, and has requested permission to begin holding mass and other services in a small building he and the others have procured in a town just outside of Garnahcskhet. Everything appears to be in order, so that once Mr. van Uitert is credentialed he will be free to proceed.

OOC: actually, I think technically the definition of a cult is any religious group with under a certain amount of followers, so it may be a cult over there.

According to Merriam-Webster online, the definition of "cult" (in English, anyway) involves neither numbers nor abuse of power. Instead, these definitions all seem to revolve around devotion. Definition #3 seems closest to what I'm getting from the conversation:
1 : formal religious veneration : worship
2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual; also : its body of adherents
3 : a religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious; also : its body of adherents
4 : a system for the cure of disease based on dogma set forth by its promulgator <health cults>
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad b : the object of such devotion c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion
