The Royal Baptism (OOC, Open, MT)

[Kreise]

Also Camelone is now an Apostolic Catholic country having split from Rome a little after the Great Schism just for some context.

I googled Apostolic Catholic, and it described something a little different. Is your Church at all related to the Apostolic Catholics described in Wikipedia?

[Camelone]

Not sure if I am too late for this, but as my examinations are nearing their end, I thought I might try my hand. Ecce Archiepiscopus Sulatiensis Ecclesiae Erboniæ! Hopefully the Apostolic Church is open to some ecumenism... His Grace would probably arrive by ship with his valet and his chaplain, for a party of three, though I expect they would be minor figures.

Still active and open. Feel free to jump on in.

Nope none at all. In Camelone Apostolic Catholicism can best be summed up as Celtic Orthodoxy due to the cultural influence of the Celts. Values monasticism, has the Catholic canon of Scripture, has all 7 Sacraments, believes in the Communion of Saints and veneration as well as the veneration of Mary, has the historic and spiritual episcopate, liturgically is the traditional Western Rite, and pretty much it’s a highly Celtic influenced Catholic church with a greater emphasis on Platonic thought over Aristotelian.

Also sorry about the absence everyone. I’ll get a response up tomorrow morning as soon as I can.

Um, what should my toast be about? I want to keep it short and simple but other than that I'm going in blind. Also I'll just arrive by plane, just pretend I'm around town okay?

Sounds very similar to the Church of Nortend except we are more Anglican-Orthodox. I'll get a post up.

So do some clerics marry and pass their office to their son?

[Great Nortend]

If you're asking about the Church of Nortend: yes, that does occur. Priests are permitted to marry, and there is no prohibition on marriage after ordination. Bishops, on the other hand, are not permitted to marry. Whilst the percentage of those who join the priesthood who are sons of a clergyman is slightly higher than normal, there isn't a great tendency for hereditary priestly ancestries. There is no 'priestly caste', as it were.

You just add "a toast to the prince and princess" in your application.

In some areas the priests do end up creating an informal priestly caste but generally the bishops, who are all celibate, attempt to rotate them around to prevent that from happening but yes there are some families who have had men in the priesthood for generations. Some priests are married but no bishops are.

Great Nortend funny enough my own personal theology lean towards Anglo-Orthodox with Roman Catholic influences. Don't know how much my theology will change in seminary but at the moment that is pretty much where I stand.

Ah, I thought we just had to write a micro speech.

Accepted. Welcome to the festivities.

I just arrive by airport yes?

[Great Nortend]

Oh; are we all arriving on the day of the baptism? I will change my post then. I am somewhat confused though; don't baptisms usually occur in the morning? If we're allowing the visitors to wander about and visit chalets I'm questioning what time it is around. It seems somewhat rushed to have the baptism on the very first day we arrive if it's in the morning.

Also, I'm a bit confused as to these orders. Is the Branite Order the same as the Brandinite/Bradnite Order?

[Haring Bayang Katagalugan]

Finally back yo. Imma post maybe later

Yeah sorry about that just with all the different posters contributing I thought it would be easier to just have the arrivals on the day of the baptism so everyone is on the same day and I'm not time jumping.

The Branite's and the Brendinite's are two different orders one is the Order of St. Bran and the other is the Order of St. Brendan they are like the Franciscans and Dominicans to conceptualize them like that.

Finally back yo. Imma post maybe later

Okay awesome!

[Great Nortend]

All right; I see. So they're mendicant I suppose.

The Branites are more so while the Brendanites also have Benedictine influences.

[Great Nortend]

Are you busy Camelone?

Are you busy Camelone?

21 people are living in my families small house at the moment. Finding time to actually sit down and write a good post turned out to be harder than I thought. I am working now on my next post.

[Great Nortend]

All is good; just checking that this RP was still going.
