The Thrinian Catholic Church in your nation.(no war/threats)

[Lancov]

Thrinia you never told me what you meant by.

"...as we do not want our faithful to worship a cardboard cutout of some bloodthirsty political figurehead..."

OOC: I would assume that it has something to do with this video.

Keep in mind that Thrinia was posting that in character, I'm guessing that his RL persona probably does not really believe that Pentecostals worship George Bush.

[Khazyan]

The Thrinian Catholic Church does not exist within Khazyan.

[Dazchan]

The Glorious State of Dazchan does not keep statistics on the religions that people follow. As such, we do not know how many of our population, if any, are Thrinian Catholics.

The Thrinian Catholic Church is as welcome as any other religion to establish themselves in the GSD; however, be forewarned that our Government treats religions like any other organisation, and any attempts to get special considerations (such as tax exemption or the right to ignore our anti-discrimination laws) will be ignored.

Actually we are not really that political.
The Thrinian Catholic Church is only interested in spreading faith and equality.
And Thrinia is NOT liberal where left wing.
We are Socialist democrats........
Thrinia does not have the same political system as the USA.....

I still despise left-wingers, but I may just let you into one of our larger churches. Right-wing is the way to go.

His Holliness would like to make it clear that the Thrinian Catholic Church is not a political body. As it has previously been made very clear by the representatives of the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith in this forum as well as elsewhere the thrinian catholic community does not discriminate on the grounds of political observation. We do believe that the above made statement by the thrinian delegation was in reference to the Thrinian State and not the Thrinian Church. That being said his holliness's daughter who has served six years in the Imperial Quendi Chamber of Electors holds a centrist political leaning favouring sensible policies rather then the idiosyncrasies of the right and left wings. While it is of course obvious that lady Isolde Grimaldi is not in any way a representative of the Holy Mother Church and that her political leanings is not neccesarily those of the Papacy or the Sovereign and Apostolic City of Genève of the Holy Cross.

That said his holliness would like to remind the pentecostals of Strick lands and the lodricarians that Jesus Christ himself propagated ideas and stances that at the time was seen as very liberal, yes indeed as revolutionary and radical. His Holliness wishes not to cite all the numerous passages in the gospel where such stances where declared but to name but a few then our lord saviours decision to favor the poor and downtrodden above the temple priests and high society is a testimony to his compassion with that group. More conservative interpretations of his message do tend to relly on saint Paul and other apostoles rather then Christ himself. This we ask our christian brothers in the Strick Lands and Lodrica to keep in mind before declaring their ignorant oppinions on those not sharing their political views.

Thank you Lancov, and what I believe was happening in that video was that they were praying for George Bush, for the lord to give him guidance or something along those lines.

You can stay, but you MUST pay taxes.We will give the church the same tax cut we give every religous orginization though.

I am thinking that the Pope can send Acardian missionaries. Because of all the Thrinian Catholics we probably fit in with their culture the best

The Holy See graciously accepts this offer. His Holliness would however like to make it clear that should the church in New Acardia deem that sending missionaires would represent a serious risk to the lives of said missionaires then it must refrain from doing so. His Holliness will not have martyrs tortured and killed in Lodricar and the Strick Lands.

Should the church in New Acardia deem it safe to send missionaires his holliness bless the missionaires in question. The head of the mission shall be confered the titles of Special Apostolic Nuncio of the Sovereign and Apostolic City of Genève of the Holy Cross and as cardinal of our Holy Mother Church.

[New Zepuha]

I just felt that I needed to reiterate my postion on this matter. So here it is, all Thrinian catholics are hereby order to repnt their faith or face immediate execution at the hand of the Inquistion. Anyone found publically or privatley supporting them shall be handed over to His Holy Inquistion, Ordo Heriticus, that is all.

[Herador]

In Herador, these are the various religious groups
48%- Eastern Orthodox
32%- Islamic ( 63% Sunni, 26% Sufi, 11% Shia)
16%-Jewish
4%- Various others (Hindi, Buddhist, various denominations of Christianity etc. This number also includes Atheists)
The Thrinian Catholic Church makes up .8 of that last 4 percent.

[Parhe]

All none protestants and orthodox are not liked much nor welcome. However, the empire will donate four million for diplomatic reasons

Like the construction of a cathedral,church or a chapel.
Or perhaps an archbishop needs to be appointed.

The Thrinian Church members have grouped around a single city, Jojen Al-Sarifa, so if you wish to build a cathedral or appoint an archbishop , please feel free to do so.

From the Sacred Office of his Holliness Pope John Paul III, the Vicar of Christ
Given in Saint Pierre's, the Sovereign and Apostolic City of Genève of the Holy Cross

To the pious and virtuous believers in Jojen Al-Sarifa and all of Herador, our lord God, the lord of light and live be with thee. His blessings follow you in all your endaveours now and for all time.

Be greeted brothers and sisters in the one true faith. Know that your small community has not gone forgotten in the palaces and basilica's of Genève. Never are you lost in the minds of the Vicar of Christ, never are you forgotten by the universal mother church. We hereby grants our blessings upon your preserverance to your faith in a nation where you are in minority.

Fledling as your community is the Holy Mother Church will cater to your needs for a cathedral in your city of Jofen Al-Sarifa, a place of worship that can make you stand proud among your brothers from the orthodox faith, and your cousins from the faiths of Islam and Judaism who also, misguided as they may be, know your lord as the lord of the world. Your cathedral, the very first named for the soon to be beatified Girolamo Savonarola, is to be made in the style of the orthodox architecture, a style that has also influenced Saint Catherine's Basilica in Genève, to remind thee that indeed the orthodox believers, however misguided they may be, are indeed your bretheren in the one true faith.

Pertaining to the issue of leadership of the church in Jofen Al-Sarifa, and indeed in all of Herador, we shall appoint and archbishop who will be the primate of the ecclesiastic province of all of Herador and have as his archdiocese the city of Jofen Al-Sarifa. Due to the thrinian catholic community in Herador counting only 0.8 % or around 3 million people the archbishop can however neither be appointed a cardinal, nor a patriarch, nor a member of the highest leadership of our Holy Mother Church. Should in time the thrinian catholic community in Herador grow stronger, a process the Holy See will gladly support with missionaires, this may be altered to give Herador's faithful greater say in the entire Church.

May God be with you my children

- HH Pope John Paul III

[The Papal City]

All none protestants and orthodox are not liked much nor welcome. However, the empire will donate four million for diplomatic reasons

Rather then money the Thrinian Catholic Community desires only recognition and acceptance. The wealth of loyal thrinian strongholds such as those of Thrinia, Melcenea, Atherille and even of the Quendi is sufficient for the church to keep its budget in order desite vast donations to humanitarian efforts around the globe. Thus his holliness asks only that the thrinians in Parhe will be treated fairly. This is the only diplomatic gesture the Church desires.

[Tsivina]

The nation of Tsivina refuses any incursions of foreign faiths into its territory. All citizens of this nation follow the national religion. Deviants are punished accordingly. If missionaries from faiths other than Dear Leaderism sneak into the country, will be shot on sight if they make it one step past the border.

[Herador]

-Snip-

Delightful, start work whenever you please. Also, people from around the city (and not just of the Thrinian faith) would like to donate money, supplies, and two construction companies would even like to donate some workers.
Enclosed is a picture of the lot

[Daircoill]

The Republic of Daircoill has begun taking steps to dismantle the institution known as the "Thrinian Catholic Church" inside of Dairi borders. Dwindling numbers, the recent revival of the Cult of Nádúr and the lack of public support no longer makes it a viable public institution. The Church may continue to run as a private enterprise, but will lose its tax exempt religious status.

we will stock it with our own staff though, we would gladly pay for the costs of construction.

Your eminence Casmir Jordin:
I just believe that no mans blood lust is a thing to admire.
Yes he did fight an enemy who users barbaric practices at first.
But just because you fight an enemy who wields tools of evil does not automatically make you good.
I do not mean to insult anybody but it is just his religious hypocrisy that greatly irritates me.
And he said: "If you are not with us you are with the terrorists"
We as the thrinian Catholic Church seek to unite the world and not divide it.
I am not trying to offend anybody i am just saying that some Christians abuse the holy bible to perpetuate political rather than spiritual goals.
I am trying to make the church less political not more.
I am not saying my views are right per definition for as a mortal simple soul i have no right to claim absolutes.
That power lies solely with our lord who looks at all of us with great love as all loving parents will.
