Canonization of Girolamo Savonarola

Postby The Papal City » Mon May 23, 2011 10:20 am

The Sovereign and Apostolic City of Geneva of the Holy Cross
From the Papal Throne of Saint Peter, The Papal Archbasilica of Saint Catherine of the Wheel
During the 11th year of the Papacy of his holliness Pope John Paul III of Geneva and Rome


Pope John Paul III was not a young man anymore and he knew it. On the verge of entering into his ninetieth year on Gods beautiful Earth the ageing pope knew that he only had so little time left before he would go to God. It was a thought that would have scared the pope in his youth but no longer. Death was only scary because man could not understand, had in fact not Christ himself shown doubt on the cross when he cried to Heaven for help. To the old pope this Christ's greatest sign of weakness was in fact what made him that much more magnificent. The frailty of Christ's human nature was the greatest gift he could have possibly given to humanity all too afraid of all too many things death first among them.

Also Savonarola had known dead and that in the most violent manner, the Pope thought as he, aided by one of his young pages, stepped out on the balcony overlooking the Saint Pierre's Square where close to a million thrinian catholics had gathered to celebrate the cannonization process. Savonarola had been brutally tortured into confessing crimes he was not guilty of. In John Paul III, once Nobu Grimaldi's, eyes that was not and could not ever be considered a sin. No Savonarola was a martyr and he was in Heaven. He had deserved to be recognised as a saint.

Raising an only slightly trembling hand the pope whispered "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti." His words magniied through a microphone silencing the vast square upon which Savonarola's supporters had gathered. Changing to english, the language that together with french was the vernacular speech of the Holy See on such occassions, the pope began his short speech. "Praised be Jesus Christ our Saviour and Redeemer." The pope said this time more forcefully, he was not yet dead. "Dear brothers and sisters of the faith my God be with thee and with all of Christendom. May he smile down upon us and see our love and veneration for his holy work. We have gathered here today to celebrate the canonization of one of his greatests and most venerable of servants. Through his many predictions of events yet to come this great martyr has proven that he was indeed blessed by God. Through a lifetime of piety and humility, a life that ended all to soon with a brutal execution making his a martyr the blessed Girolamo Savonarola is indeed to be considered among the most sacred of the followers of of our lord and saviour."

The pope paused for a moment receiving encouraging cheers from Savonarola's supporters. "Hallelujah brothers and sisters. As the Vicar of Christ I hereby declare that the blessed Girolamo Savonarola is hence forth to be considered a saint and that this day, the day upon which he was made a martyr, shall be his feast day. May God bless Saint Girolamo and all of us. Amen." The pope made the sign of the cross before the crowd blessing them. A giant banner of Savonarola's counterfey was unveiled and a large choir on the square began chanting a hymn praising God to the thunderous applause of the crowds.

The Thrinian crowd goes mad with joy as they sing and cheer throughout the night.
The crowd is wielding these signs:

Cardinal Borgia had this to say on their behalf:
"Today a great martyr is recognized as a true saint"
"This is truly a glorious day for all of christianity."
Cardinal Borgia also wears a wooden cross on a black rope symbolising his faith in the "Pope In Black" thesis.
A lone monk is also seen writing down in a book for some reason.

In the former city of Kor, wich was destroyed by the invasion, A statue was standing in the central plaza, under the red skies and falling snow mixed with ashes. The statue was a Greitanian Soldier. On his right hand he was holding a Greitanian Flag Waving to the wind, and on his other hand he was holding the hand of a girl and walking at her side, on the base of the statue it said "We will protect the weak, even if we vanish from this world. Unity, Sacrifice and Protection. That is our duty" The flag was waving at the wind, burned and torned. Greitania never gave up. They defended this planet, not for them. For It's people.

When Cardinal Jordin heard the news that Girolamo Savonarola was going to be canonized. He never believed in the Pope in black story in the first place.
He hoped and prayed that the Pope is not basing it on the fraudulent documents that Bishop Jerome in the council Jerusalem said were false.

OOC:Don't worry that is not official teaching... ;)
The real reason he was canonised is because he was a martyr and he preformed miracles. :)
1: He predicted the french invasion of Italy.
2: He predicted the deaths of Lorenzo de medici pope innocent VIII and Alexander VI.
3: He died Praying on the stake just like saint Joan of arc.

    Papal epistle of Pope John Paul III to catholics of Rammazro and San Havana





    Given at Saint Catherine's Basilica, the Sovereign and Apostolic City of Geneva of the Holy Cross, on May 23, 2011

    By the mercy and grace of Heaven we, Pope John Paul III, Bishop of Rome and Geneva, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the State of the Papal City, Servant of the Servants of God, humbly gives thanks to our saviour and redeemer that his will is done in the states of Rammazro and San Havana. Sadly we note that in this our modern world faith grows ever weaker as materialistic goals overtake the place of spiritual piety, and the church is torn apart by disunity within itself. Thus it is a blessing sent from above to hear that both your nations have choosen to recognise our decision to cannonize saint Girolamo Savonarola.

    We shall pray to the newly cannonized saint and too his great master the prince of peace, the light of the world, the son of God, our lord Jesus called Christ, that his blessings shall be with all good people in Rammazro and San Havana. Bless thee, children of God. Blessed be thee in the name of Christ. While we certainly respect all catholics of the world and pray for them daily it is however an issue cloose to our heart, as it was certainly close to our lord, that christendom should and can be united. As such we wish to inquire if the catholic churches of Rammazro and San Havana are in communion with the Holy See of Geneva and Rome and accepts the primacy of the Vicar of Christ.

OOC: Nor will it be. While its a fun theory it would mess up the whole counting of popes and that is simply to much trouble for to little fun. The primary reason for Savonarola's cannonization is that it should be fun.
