@HRRH Queen Ophelia @Marianna I. Here in the Spain, have a absolutist system as well, like the Yolantia. The laws are sugested by the Counsel of the State («Consejo del Estado») and aprobed by the emperator. Our country not have no parlament or politic partys.

@Cecile Marie de Elise-Bourbon In 1900 was asasinated the emperator Esteban III, he not had no sons. His sucesor, Esteban IV, was choosed by the Counsel of the State.

@HRRH Queen Ophelia @Marianna I. @Cecile Marie de Elise-Bourbon Ladies, I'd like you to meet my friend Ari (@Arizona Guevara). She's the official photographer and social media editor for the Imperial Palace. Do pardon her English though.

Anyway, to add to what Ari said: while we have neither a parliament or political parties, we do have an executive branch, consisting of 13 Grand Officers (appointed officials equivalent to government ministers), each heading a specific department (interior, education, defense, etc.) as well as forming the Council of State, the official advisory body to the Emperor. While they can propose new legislation, they don't have any authority to pass laws—only the Emperor can do that.

Also, it's worth noting that Emperor Esteban III was quite unconventional and radical for his time, especially the fact that he was gay. Which is why he didn't produce an heir, and also why he was assassinated. But in any case, the Council of State stepped in and appointed a successor—Esteban IV, my great-grandpa—thus ensuring the continuity of the Spanish imperial crown.

@HRRH Queen Ophelia, @Lucía, Princesa de Asturias, @Marianna I., @Cecile Marie de Elise-Bourbon: Sounds a lot like how a far younger monarchy--the throne did not become the throne until 1988, the Kingdom until 1989--operates; His Philippine Majesty's Crown Government abides by an absolutist system wherein he is advised by an Advisory Council with fifteen members, the First Lord--my office--leading them. While they, along with the Royal Assembly--a body composed of 130 counts and countesses--can propose new legislation affecting the Kingdom as a whole, only His Philippine Majesty may pass such laws. The most the Nobles in Dominion can do is pass legislation that affects their realm, legislation that can be superseded at any time by higher-level nobility, if not the King himself.

And if anyone is wondering why I'm not preceding the above post with my usual greeting, that's me not speaking as the First Lord.

So I checked on Sonic and Lee, you know doing the usual, asking them if I can assume emergency powers and start a purge of any server members who may intervene in Alex's very big drama. Of course Bob agreed that for a year, that I don't need his approval for any radical action in admin powers. So now with 3 of 5 admins in the server agreeing to give emergency powers to me, the owner. I now want to ask you guys, you okay with me reorganizing the garden into a homestead

@Sir Harold Torres, KOSGA We actually had something like that in the past—the Cortes Generales, a set of assemblies representing the nobles, church leaders and aristocrats, similar to the General Estates in pre-revolution France. Although the King (the title Emperor wasn't used until the 19th century) held absolute power on paper, in practice the Cortes were a law unto themselves, and wielded a great deal of political and military clout. In addition, they often resisted reforms and attempts to curtail their power, especially the hardline traditionalists in the nobility and clergy—they were the ones who assassinated Esteban III for his liberal and secular views. But it ultimately spelled their demise, as his successor Esteban IV completely dissolved the Cortes and instituted a mass purge of their members, with popular support from the working class. So the nobility isn't able to exert significant political influence today like it once did.

You want to take everyone’s money to buy even more gold trinkets.

@Lucía, Princesa de Asturias: Fortunately for us, the Royal Assembly's powers are kept in check by His Majesty; any proposal they make that affects the national level requires the King's approval, and that approval or denial is final. Besides, the institution of New Filipino Nobility in general is pretty young; His Majesty established the nobility in 2008, as a formal enshrinement of their duties as leaders whose authority emanates from the King.

---

REPLY

Caleb Tionson San Jose, MR

[@Lucía, Princesa de Asturias: What the First Lord isn't saying is that the Royal Assembly is a glorified rubber-stamp. In theory, any legislation the counts and countesses--prior to 2008 they were still Royal Assemblymen--propose that affects the Kingdom as a whole would require the assent of the Dukes and Marquesses; in practice, the King alone decides whether or not a proposal has merit--and this does not prevent him from passing a decree that supersedes what the Royal Assembly proposed for his approval.

> a formal enshrinement of their duties as leaders
In other words: the King solidified the power they hold over everyone else; 2008 was essentially the culmination of decades of work in ending the antebellum democracy and solidifying the neo-feudal system in place.

The Gospel reading for today, the Optional Memorial of St. Augustine of Canterbury, is Mt 9:35–38, The Compassion of Jesus. In the preconciliar form of the Mass, the Gospel reading for the feast of St. Bede the Venerable, a Class III Feast Day, is Mt 5:13-19.
St. Augustine of Canterbury was a monk, a prior of a monastery in Rome, who became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. Augustine was part of the Gergorian Mission, sent by St. Gregory the Great (feast day: September 3rd) to evangelize the Anglo-Saxons. The Gregorian Mission would be among the events recorded in Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum ([the] Ecclesiastical History of the English People, AD 731), the most iconic work of the English monk, historian, and Doctor of the Church Bede the Venerable (San Beda, feast day: May 25th).

As mentioned in last week's episode of The Chaplain's Corner, the Ascension is not observed as a Holy Day of Obligation outside those communities that adhere to the Extraordinary Form here in the Confederation.

Our Lord Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the Right Hand of God the Father Almighty. This is echoed in the Creed we profess at the end of the Homily in every Sunday Mass, at the beginning of every Rosary we pray.

Reaching out to others is another Christian sign. Persons who describe themselves as Christian and who are unable to reach out to others, to go and meet them are not totally Christian. Being of service and reaching out to others both require going out from themselves: going out to serve and meet others, to embrace another person. Through Mary’s service towards others, through that encounter, our Lord’s promise is renewed and makes it happen now, just as it did then. And it is really our Lord – as we heard during the first Reading: ‘The Lord, your God, is in your midst’ – the Lord is about helping other people, the Lord is about meeting other people.
- Excerpt from Pope Francis' Homily, May 31st, 2016

The Gospel reading for today, the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is Lk 1:39-56, which covers the episode where Mary visits Elizabeth (vv. 39-45) and The Canticle of Mary (vv. 46-56). In the preconciliar form of the Mass, this is the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, a Class II Feast Day; the Gospel reading is Lk 1:26-33.
Observation of the Feast dates back to medieval times, when Pope Urban VI, aiming to end the Western Schism, inserted the observation in the Roman Calendar; it was initially set on July 2nd, the day immediately after the Octave day of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (Nativity: June 24th, both forms; Octave day: July 1st, preconciliar only). With Mysterii Paschalis (St. Paul VI, 1969), the observation was moved to May 31st vice the Queenship of Mary, which would be moved to August 22nd, which places the Visitation "between the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord (25 March) and that of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (24 June), so that it would harmonize better with the Gospel story."
