COUNCIL OF PATRIARCHAL CHURCHES ANNOUNCED
Rejoice! In the name Eliyahu Hosios the bishops of the main Patriarchal Churches have decided to meet and discuss the fatih and Church organization.
These Curches were part of the Holy Apostolic Church of Terra (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Holy_Apostolic_Hosian_Church_of_Terra), that was founded in 533 with the council of Auroria, Selucia and collapsed in 1819 when the Church was persecuted in Auroria and the different patriarchies declared independence. Since then, these Churches have taken different paths, but remained fatihful to some common points of doctrine as the Aurorian Creed. The main branches are:
The Selucian Patriarchal Church (SPC) (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Selucian_Patriarchal_Church) Headed by the Supreme Watcher and Arch-Patriarch of the Selucian Patriarchal Church and based in Selucia. With 640 million adherents it is the largest Hosian denomination in Terra. This Church was the core of the Apostolic Church. IN 1819 the new polytheistic government persecuted the CHurch and lead to a great collaps; hence large chucnks of the Church in the rest of Terra became independent such as the Terran Church in Deltaria. After the Archbishop and the faithful endured the persecution, the CHurch grew once again and it spread and reclaimed large parts of the worlds. Today the Church is based in the City of the Empyrean Temple, a city state within Auroria with a beautiful temple that is the largest religious building in Terra. It is prevalent in Selucia, Egelion, Dranland, Gaudirios, Keymon (Church of Keymon), Kazulia, Tukarali, Vanuku.
The current leader of the SPC, the Supreme Pontiff and Arch-Patriarch of Selucia Marcus III
The Terran Patriarchal Church (TPC) (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Terran_Patriarchal_Church) Headed by the Pápež in Deltaria and it has 522 million adherents. After it declared independence from the Apostolic Church in Selucia, it was revived by a Deltarian serf, Radoslav Volic that declared himself the Supreme Pontiff of the TPC, Claiming apostolic succession from St. Michael, he declared himself Pápež Petr I. Its main singularity is that along God (called Bog) and Eliyahu (called Ilya) they also revere the Old Deltarian gods as Saints as lesser gods, such as Saint Parnum - storm and war god, Saint Volos - earth god, Saint Prĕčista - mother goddess. It is prevalent in Deltaria, Cobura, Dolgaria, Kizenia, Telamon, Trigunia, Zardugal.
Current leader of the TPC, Papez Tomas VIII
The Theognosian Church (TC) (http://particracy.wikia.com/wiki/Theognosian_Church) Headed by the Theognosian Archpatriarch, currently Gabriel XII, it is based between Kanjor and Rildanor, and it has 339 million adherents. It separated from the TPC after the scandal of the cadaver trials (OOC: all the info in the wiki). The church was small at the beginning, but after many controversies around the corruption of the TPC, most of the Patriarchal Hosians in Canrillese speaking countries such as Kanjor and RIldanor converted and it expanded. It is mainly found in Kanjor, Rildanor, Istalia, Lourenne, Solentia.
The current leader of the Theognosian Church, Archbishop Gabriel XII
Together these Churches have 1671 believers and make up 55% of all Hosians and 27% of all inhabitants of Terra. Together they own many churches and religious buldings across the globe.
Apparently, there has been a great push towards unity from inside these denominations since many faithful and clerics desire to reform the once universal and far reaching Holy Apostolic Church of Terra. This and other topics will be discussed by the bishops and representatives of the Churches.
It is not yet known where, where and how the Council will proceed.
OOC:
Hosian: Christian
Patriarchal: Apostolic so Catholic/Eastern Orthodox
Holy Apostolic Hosian Church of Terra (HAhCT): The church before the schism of 1054
Council of Auroria: Council of Nicene
Aurorian Creed: Nicean Creed
Selucian Patriarchal Church (SPC): Catholic Church / Selucian: Latin / Auroria: Rome+Constantinople
Terran Patriarchal Church: Medieval Catholicism + Orthodox Church + some pagan beliefs
Theognosian Church: A French variant of the Catholic Church, heavy on hierarchy ad liturgy
This forum is to discuss the events at a Council between the three main branches of Patriarchal Hosianism.
The main goal would to discuss a reconciliation, but it doesn'y have to be this way.
I propose that, although everyone may take part in the discussion, this forum concerns mostly users that are interested in RP, the history and religion of Terra, and especially users whose parties are Hosian or in a country that is mostly Hosian.
There are two things to decide first:
- Where to all the council
- How the discussion/decisions will be made
I propose that we call it in Auroria, since it is where the original church was born, and that each member takes the side of the church in his country. I also think that the three heads of the Church could be voiced by the players in Selucia (for the SPC), Deltaria (for the TPC) and Kanjor/Rildanor (for the TC)
But this is just my opinion
Also, I encourage only users who are interested to participate, and not people who want to troll, thank you
Btw, I currently control the Monarchist Party in Egelion
