The Holy Father expressed his discontent with the "factionalism" and politicization of episcopal offices within the Roman Curia, strongly condemning those who "seek high office for their benefit at the expense of the Church." After addressing the bishops and responding to their questions, the Pope concluded the audience by reiterating his desire for a Church where every member embodies the gospel. | The Holy Father expressed his discontent with the "factionalism" and politicization of episcopal offices within the Roman Curia, strongly condemning those who "seek high office for their benefit at the expense of the Church."

==Romanian State Visit to Rome== | |||
In October 2024, Pope John Paul III hosted King Dirtman and King Chase of Romania at the Apostolic Palace, where they discussed the preservation of Christian faith in Europe. As a gesture of goodwill, he presented them with the "Sword of Saint Michael." | |||
<blockquote> | |||
Yesterday, I was honored to receive in Rome the heads of state of several nations including Romania, Russia, France, Germany, Poland, and the Holy Lands. This extraordinary gathering reflects not only the strength of our collective desire to foster peace and unity but also the vital importance of strengthening the bonds of faith that unite us all under the grace of our Lord. | |||
In the spirit of fraternal and brotherly peace, it is my wish to build a future where compassion and understanding reign over division and hatred. In these challenging times for our server, when Terra Aurora often faces tensions of both earthly and spiritual natures, it is through these actions that we, as the people of God, unite in a single choir to declare against the evils that persecute us that we stand in the name of peace, unity, goodwill, and, above all else, Christ; proudly and boldly. | |||

==Declaration of Jubilee Year and Consecration of New Saints== | |||
On January 1, 2025, Pope John Paul III declared Jubilee Year 2025, a year of spiritual renewal and pilgrimage, coinciding with the real-world Jubilee proclaimed by Pope Francis. The Holy Door at St. Peter’s Basilica was opened to mark the event. | |||
Pope John Paul III also took the occasion to consecrate many new EMC saints and formalize the canonization process. | |||
<blockquote> | |||
It is with great joy that I announce that this Sunday’s Mass, in addition to being the opening Mass for our great Jubilee on EarthMC, will also be a canonization mass where we ratify the already existing EarthMC Saints, as well as canonize new ones. | |||
In this sacred moment, we will celebrate the examples and virtues of those who have gone before us, who walked the paths of our server with courage, faith, and love, serving as beacons of hope and models of Christ-like living within our EarthMC community. Their deeds, though rooted in the confines of EMC, reflect eternal truths and virtues that transcend all boundaries. We shall recall their contributions—whether through acts of charity, the building of communities, or the inspiration they provided to others in times of trial. Let this celebration not merely be a moment to look back, but a call to each of us to rise to our own challenges and become instruments of peace and goodwill. | |||

On 17 January 2025, Pope John Paul III coronated the seventh Holy Roman Emperor, Veyronity, in Rome. | |||
<blockquote> | |||
I will coronate the Holy Roman Emperor in a continuation of the precedent set by my predecessor in recognizing this holy alliance as the legitimate body of Christian states meant to defend the faith in Europe. This honor I bestow upon him is not meant to be taken lightly, as it is a further recognition of succession from the times of Terra Nova and the Greater Roman Empire. | |||
May this event bring us closer together as communities and nations in spirit and for the ultimate goal, the faith. I would like to invite all of you, both from the borders of the empire and outside, as a Christian community, to witness this sacred event in Saint Peter's Basilica. | |||
