**EVERYTHING HAS BEEN UPDATED TO LIOH'S CHANGES!**
IC: The universal Christian Church is a sacred institution based on some of the customs of the real Roman Catholic Church but we hold many beliefs ranging the wide spectrum of Christianity. We hold this belief second highest next to Jesus Christ our Savior being the son of God and the Ten Commandments. We are the one and only true church and have a direct line to God. We preach a policy of accepting ALL Christians whether they be Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Evangelical or any other type of Christianity (excluding perversions such as the Celestial Church). We only ask of you one thing. To follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Apostoles, the Saints and the Ten Commandments and you shall live in paradise here on earth and in the life to come. Our creed is simple. Here is the Apostoles Creed (church oath)
THE APOSTOLE'S CREED
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven.
By the power of the Holy Spirit he was born the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered died and was buried.
On the third day he rose again in fulfillment with the Scriptures.
He ascended in heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy Universal and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

Message from the Pope:
Dear Peoples of the Universal Christian Church,
White smoke has been made. The Liohan Chatholic Institutions are proud to announce the name of the new Pope. Montgomery Everstrauss will be taking the name John Paul III. Pope John Paul III will to the best of his abilities lead the Christian Church into greatness an prosperity. The Vatican City will also be moved to Lioh and it will be in the Center of Lioh's Capital, West Narshada City.
The Canidation of Saints will also happen. The Holy Father announces the Mykola's Former leader will be named the First saint of the modern day Curch. And the Day of his death will be remebered as his feast day and that we remember him as he joins the long line of saints.
The Holy father is also proud to say that each nation in the Church has the right to a Foriegn Ammbasador for the Vatican. Another big thing is happening. The announcing of the Holy Father's College of Cardinals. City of Norfolk is the Channcellor Cardinal, Cardinal Pontifex will be Tezdrian, Cardinal Caput capitis of Extrarius Consanguinei will be Chetssaland, Cardinal Caput capitis of Recruiting will be Mykola, Cardinal Caput capitis of Welfare will be RightWingChristians, Cardinal Presertim Scripture Scriptor will be Lizardar, Cardinal Presertim Inquisitor Kirav, and Finally Cardinal Caput capitis of Politics will be Silar. The Cardinal of the Annexed Celestial Christian Church will be no longer a position. Bishops and priest potions can be applied for. And the Holy Father's Personal Advisors will be The House of Castile and North Wiedna.
We thank you again for electing Pope John Paul III.
Sincerely,
Pope John Paul III
Pope of the UCC
Church Anthem: Hino Pontificio
Hino Pontificio(sung in Portugese)
Ó Roma eterna dos mártires, dos santos!
Ó Roma eterna acolhe nossos cantos!
Glória no alto ao Deus de Majestade,
Paz sobre a Terra, Justiça e Caridade.
A Ti corremos, Angélico Pastor,
Em Ti nós vemos o Doce Redentor.
A voz de Pedro na tua o mundo escuta,
Conforto e escudo de quem combate e luta.
Não vencerão as forças do inferno,
Mas a verdade que é o doce amor fraterno.
Salve, salve Roma! É eterna tua história!
Cantam-nos tua glória monumentos e altares!
Roma dos Apóstolos, Mãe e mestra da verdade!
Roma, toda Cristandade, o mundo espera em Ti!
Salve, salve Roma! O Teu Sol não tem poente!
Vence, refulgente, todo erro e todo mal!
Salve o Santo Padre, vivas tanto ou mais que Pedro!
Desça, qual mel do rochedo, a benção paternal!
