== '''Church Goals And Objectives''' ==

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

𝐕𝐈. The Holy Catholic Church on EarthMC shall remind the Christian players of the server of their real life and that, even in virtual communities, Christians must abide by the teachings of Christ and His Church. Love and compassion trump hate and wrath. The Christians of EarthMC should speak out against heresy on the server in defense of their faith and spread the gospel of Christ, but the Church does not intend to preach the real canonical religious stances or laws of the Roman Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church of EarthMC has existed for over '''5''' '''years''' on the server and has seen many Cardinals, Archbishops, and Clergy alike. Its composition of over '''700 faithful members''' makes it one of the biggest and most united communities on EarthMC to date. The purpose of this Wiki page is to document and share the rich history and founding of the EMC Vatican.

[[File:Town Square.png|alt=One of the oldest existing images of Vatican_City|thumb|Vatican_City on Terra Nova|283x283px]]Undergoing many accounts of public scrutiny since its founding, the RCC has continued to be a beacon of hope in EMC's toxic environment. Hosting regular RP events, the Church is often '''mistaken as a RP (Roleplay)''' group on this server. Instead, it is a united front of all faithful members who gather to share their faith and beliefs under our Church, consistently proving the values of love for one another.

= ''De Tempore PIVS P. P. XIII.'' =

'''''Pope Pius XIII''''', previously known as Karnakaus, was the 4th Roman Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church.

After the Abdication of Pope Clement XV, the See of Peter was vacant and the Cardinals of the Church had to elect a new Pope with a Conclave. At the start of the fourth EarthMC conclave, Cardinal Karnakaus was the Dean of the College of Cardinals.

The 18th of September 2023 the first Papal Encyclical of Pius XIII was released: '''Ad Principes'''.

[[File:2024 conclave.png|thumb|328x328px|The election of John Paul III]]

After the resignation from the Supreme Pontiff of Pope Pius XIII, the See of Peter was again in the status of Sede Vacante, and cardinals had to elect a new Pope with a conclave.

The Status of ''Sede Vacante'' started at 25th of September 2024. The Catholic Church needed a new successor, and Cardinals (Albani, Quarox, Awuzup and Perseus) gathered togheter in the Sistine Chapel.

A first round of votes has been held at 29th of September 2024, and after 4 hours and many rounds of voting, no one has been elected as Pope.

The second round of votes has been held on a private minecraft server due to EarthMC lag problems on 5th of October 2024, and after around 1 hour and 30 minutes from the start of the votes, a new Supreme Pontiff has been elected. He was Cardinal Perseus, who chose the name of John Paul III.

The time that goes from the resignation of Pius XIII to the election of John Paul III is of 11 days, making it the longest time of Sede Vacante of the EarthMC Catholic Church.

Pope John Paul III had the honour to see the completed version of Saint Peters Basilica on Terra Aurora, and on October 21, 2024 His Holiness held a Mass at Saint Peters Basilica for the inauguration of the Petrine Ministry.

The Pope started a big work of evangelization, organizing the Romanian State visit to Rome, the Apostolic Visit to Genoa and the biggest event of the Catholic Church: the '''Jubilee'''.

=== Death and Funeral of Pope Emeritus Pius XIII ===

The address marked the beginning of his pontificate and outlined priorities including unity among the faithful, the resolution of internal conflicts through justice and dialogue, and the renewal of evangelization efforts. Benedict XVIII also called for greater inclusivity and collaboration, stating that every member’s voice held significance in the life of the Church.

Subsequently, on 24 March 2026 at 22:32 (UTC), the Pope held a private audience with Bishop Dilster2000, O.P., of the United Kingdom. Their discussions addressed the condition of the Diocese of the British Isles and its clergy, with particular attention given to the reorganization process and the strategic direction for future evangelization activities on EMC. These meetings were accompanied by apostolic blessings imparted to the respective diocesan communities, reflecting the pontiff’s emphasis on unity, continuity, and pastoral renewal in the post-transition period.
