=== INTRODUCTION: ===
The Holy Catholic Church is the institution responsible for the guidance, protection, and administration of the Christian faith on EarthMC. The Church represents both a living community of Christians on the server and an essential roleplay organization that engages in geopolitics in the sandbox that is EarthMC by guiding nations and their leaders towards peace and harmony. While there are many varying denominations of Christianity in real life, Christians on EarthMC from all backgrounds, who share the same morality and mission, have united together under the Holy Catholic Church to maintain a strong Christian community and root out toxicity on the server.
