Pope Alexander IX
Pope Alexander IX was the first Supreme Pontiff of the EarthMC Roman Catholic Church who served as the head of the Church and the Vatican City from February 10th, 2020 until his resignation on March 3rd, 2020.
Papal Conclave
Pope Alexander IX was elected during the First Papal Conclave, a private ceremony between Cardinal Alastair, Cardinal Angelo, Cardinal Albani, Cardinal Raphael, and Cardinal Smirnov in which Cardinal Smirnov was elected as the next Pope.
Creation of the Church
Pope Alexander IX was the Pope during the very early days of the EarthMC Roman Catholic Church and was responsible for overseeing the construction of the Vatican City and laying the foundations for the Church itself for many months to come as a movement, not a structure.
Pope Alexander IX used his leadership skills to ensure that the EarthMC Roman Catholic Church started on the right foot towards success. Once the Church began to gain recognition from the Greater Roman Empire, Pope Alexander IX believed that he had done his duty and wished to hand the responsibility off to new blood.
Resignation
Pope Alexander IX announced his resignation from his position as the Pope, Supreme Pontiff, Holy Father, and Bishop of Rome on March 3rd, 2020 privately in a group chat with the College of Cardinals. No ceremony was held for Pope Alexander IX due to the Church being in its state of youth.
Position of Cardinal
Pope Alexander IX, now Aleksey Smirnov, wished to hold the position of Cardinal prior to his resignation and was appointed by Pope Benedict XVII (his successor) after the Second Papal Conclave on April 11th, 2020.
Resignation
On the 28th of September, 2020, Pope Alexander IX, now Cardinal Smirnov, announced in a letter to the clergy that he was leaving the EarthMC Roman Catholic Church and from EarthMC as a whole.
