===''The Beginnings of the Church''===

The town of Vatican_City was founded North of Rome by the Cardinals.

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

Goal 1. The Holy Catholic Church in EMC is to replicate as closely as possible, the real life Catholic Church, providing an interesting Roleplay Experience to EMC players who wish to engage in it, or find a catholic community within the server.

~~Goal 2.~~ The Holy Catholic Church is ~~to help all players who find themselves in~~ a ~~state~~ of ~~mental despair, giving refuge to all those who undergo stress~~ in the ~~server,~~ and ~~aid those who feel bullied or unwanted~~. ~~Provide help~~ in ~~a personal~~, ~~human-human way~~, ~~in what sometimes is seen as~~ a ~~cold~~ and ~~toxic community~~.

=== 𝐈 𝐍 𝐓 𝐑 𝐎 𝐃 𝐔 𝐂 𝐓 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍: ===

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.

Goal 3. The Holy Catholic Church is to help new, exiled, town-less and food-less players in the EMC server, looking to provide in any way possible the needs of these people, educating the new players, and sheltering all those who need to.

~~Goal 4~~. The Holy Catholic Church is to ~~inspire the rest of the players~~ to ~~adopt~~ the ~~values~~ of ~~helping one another, striving for peace, and enjoying each other’s company. To fight for peace in the international and regional political theaters and inspire justice and maturity among~~ the ~~EMC community~~.

=== 𝐎 𝐔 𝐑 𝐌 𝐈 𝐒 𝐒 𝐈 𝐎 𝐍: ===

𝐈. The Holy Catholic Church in EarthMC does NOT exist to function as a roleplay group, but rather to serve as a welcoming community for the Christian player base of the server.

~~Goal 5~~. The Holy Catholic Church ~~in EMC is~~ to ~~remind the faithful catholic~~ players of ~~our faith, and that, even~~ in ~~virtual communities, we must abide by the teachings of Christ and his real church, that of love,~~ to ~~respect one another, and~~ to ~~not be ashamed to talk about our faith outside of the mass~~. ~~It never did and it never intended to preach real canonical religious stances or laws~~ ~~however, it’s merely a reminder of the real thing.~~

𝐈𝐈. The Holy Catholic Church shall provide refuge to all players who find themselves in a state of mental distress in an effort to give guidance to vulnerable players in what is sometimes seen as an apathetic server.

~~Goal 6~~. ~~To combat heresy, paganism, and immature cult like meme-religions. Providing an order and structure~~ to the ~~religious community of EMC~~.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. The Holy Catholic Church shall assist players on EarthMC who find themselves without the necessary materials to provide for themselves on the server.

~~Goal 7~~. ~~To give refuge in these hard times~~ of ~~COVID-19~~.

𝐈𝐕. The Holy Catholic Church shall inspire the greater EarthMC community to adopt the values of Christianity.

==Church ~~hierarchy~~==

𝐕. The Holy Catholic Church shall strive to achieve peace in all regions of the server and ensure proper justice is served to those who wish to create unwarranted conflict.

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.

== ''Canon Law'' ==

=== 𝐂 𝐀 𝐍 𝐎 𝐍 𝐋 𝐀 𝐖: ===

The Code of Canon Law is a series of books that establish the laws, functions, procedures, customs, and behavioral guidelines all faithful members should follow on EarthMC. This document serves as the backbone of the Church as it guides its day-to-day operations. To understand the nature and purpose of the Church, it is recommended that one reads the document.

=== 𝐇 𝐎 𝐋 𝐘 𝐎 𝐑 𝐃 𝐄 𝐑 𝐒: ===

Holy orders, or religious orders, are direct subcategories of the clergy that allow clergymen to choose their role within the Church. The main clerical holy orders of the Holy Catholic Church are the following:

𝘿𝙞𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙡𝙚𝙧𝙜𝙮 : ''Ordinary Priesthood'' - The Diocesan Clergy are ordinary clergy members that attend to the needs of their local assigned parishes. They obediently follow the assignments placed by their Bishop and live a regular apostolic life.

𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙞𝙩 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 : ''Society of Jesus'' - The Jesuits are scholars of the Church. These clergymen take to the studies and procure the education of other clergymen regarding Canon Law. They are mainly tasked with the recruitment of more priests and are characterized by their obedience to the Pope. 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 : ''Order of St. Francis of Assisi'' - The Franciscans are the de facto missionaries of the Church. These are clergymen who frequently travel to evangelize nations out of the main influence circles of the Church to further the borders of Christendom. They are characterized by their humility in the usage of different attire from the rest of the clergy and bear the special title of Friar.

𝘽𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 : ''Order of St. Benedict'' - The Benedictines are the artisans of the Church. These members are notable for their building skills, map art creation, and collection, their passion for architecture and the churches they build across Terra Aurora.

𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙊𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 : ''Order of the Brothers of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Mount Carmel'' - This order is reserved for the clergymen who like to engage in roleplay events within the Church. These members of the Church take in܈game events very seriously and are often planning grand services.
