The Roman Catholic Church [The Holy See|All Techs, Sign-Ups]

[Roman Americas]

Question: When you say 1 cardinal per 250 million, do you mean 250 million citizens or 250 million Catholics? If the latter, Menelmacar would probably just have the one, maybe two, but if the former, I'd have to name almost a hundred.

I changed mine, take a look now.

Well, my question was really mostly intended for the OP.

[San Pellegrino Romana]

OOC: In reply to Menelmacar's inquiry, active Church members are currently discussing the issue internally and we will get back to you shortly on this one as it will play a crucial factor in the upcoming Papal Conclave...

...and speaking of such a Conclave, this is the link for the long-awaited RP. I will be personally telegramming members details of the RP, as well as posting a sign-up thread on here for those members who wish to participate. Feel free to shoot Urcea, Lacus Magni, or myself any questions, comments, or suggestions regarding the RP or the Church in general. An IC response on the Holy Father's passing will be announced shortly on the RP thread as well as here.

[Mercyridge Forest]

The Church in Mercyridge Forest is very small, because the nation is controlled by a calvinist government. Catholics, like all others, must pay a tax which goes to the local Congregational Lollard Reformed Church Congregation. They are able to select 'papist or other' on tax forms, which instead takes a slightly larger papist tax from them, some of which goes to the upkeep of the catholic church buildings which are deemed 'historic' but most of which goes to government upkeep. The Church is tolerated, but Catholics are often made fun of or ridiculed, like scientologists or mormons are in the United States. The small Catholic populations are in the north and the south, and deem themselves to be of seperate rites. They wish to join the Church as seperate National Churches in consequence.

[Kuhlfros]

Wow so exciting, Uh I'm just say all newest Apps are most likely Accepted, It is still SPR that has to update it, Welcome Brothers to the NS Holy Roman Catholic and Universal Church, also I noticed another nation recruiting and making a Church thread, Should we alert him there is already one in existence and convince him to merge the ones he has recruited into this one, besides I have a feeling a conclave should be held whenever this gets active again
