Yes, but in our macronational chats, Mr. Buechner, I recall you not really caring about religion. And most especially about Roman Catholicism.
That is why your vehemence strikes me as odd.
Ladies and gentleman:
I released Holy Decree Number One to show that the Micronational Roman Catholic Church is subject to the True Church. We do not claim it to be the One True Holy Church, but merely a small service to spread Roman Catholic teachings throughout the micronational world. It is a way to serve the Church as a sort of ministry over the cybnernetic world.
I apologizes for any offenses I may have caused against any fellow Catholics here. I wish you could understand that this ministry is subordinate to the True Holy Mother Church, and I am only the head of the ministry, not the True Church in it's entirety.
Contrary to M. Buechner's post, Monsieur, you are not a fool. I wish I had the eloquence that you posess.
Mr. Granger,
First, We wish to explain that We cannot address you as "Your holiness", "Pope" or "Pontiff". We are confirmed into the Holy Roman Catholic faith We believe to do so would dishonor Our heritage and to insult Our many family members and friends who are members of the Church. Thus, it is not to insult you, but rather, to honour them.
We cannot help but wonder how you can make the claim to be subordninate to the Holy Father while claiming at the same time to be him?
Further, We have learned from Our steadfast and true Christian teachers in the Church that lofty title are no substitute for the real work of Christ and therefore We suggest this course as a modification to your original proposal.
Allow Us to suggest We all take a look at Our own motives. Are we here to serve, or be served? The church exists for one purpose, and one purpose only, to shepard souls from birth into the Kingdom of God. All else is subordinate.
Therefore, if your goal is in league with the Church, then We suggest you adopt their strictures and subordinate yourself to the Holy Father in Rome and hold his title as sacred. Otherwise, We do not see how your actions here can be of little more than sensational and not in league with the Church as you just claimed.
Regards,
HM Alexander of All Hanover
So as to not offend anyone any longer, the Church of Micronations is called into a retreat. I have come to the realization that this is insluting to my fellow Catholics, and because it is so, and I do not wish to offend my brothers and sisters in Christ; and certainly I do not wish to offend the Holy Father, the Church of Micronations is disbanded.
No need to disband - call yourself an Archbishop.
EDIT: Or, as you may have already done, join the CoC.
Yes, if you are wishing to be of service in a church, by all means join the CoC.
I have become Exarch of the Exarchate of Bergen in the Church of Christ in Hanover and All Micronations, and for now, the Cardinal Vicar in the Holy Roman Catholic Church of Micronations.
Well the Church has been reformed, and is ready to accept members; or ready to accept any further constructive criticism to repair any further problems that have remained.
