This sparked the necessity to upscale their authority in order to fit the growing demand of the Church in EMC. On July 22nd of 2020 the Pope appointed the first Archbishop who was not present during the original ecumenical council, Archbishop Einarr, tasking him with leading the Archdioceses of Africa, with its See in Madagascar. | By the end of July more bishops began to appear within the ranks of the Church, leaders who led town sized ecclesiastical territories who were directly reporting to the Vatican.

=== Terra Mariana Heresy === | === Terra Mariana Heresy === | ||
On September 9th, 2020, the state controlled sect of the Church of Terra Mariana adopted a set of theological laws that defined their religious leader as the "Supreme Pontiff" a title that would imply their leader to be the universal pope of christianity, like Pope Benedict XVII was. This sparked outrage in the Vatican which led '''ecclesiastical officials to speak against this new potential antipope'''. The existence of a separate christian sect that was alienated to the universal authority of the Holy See was also in direct opposition to the clear terms posed during the first reform. | On September 9th, 2020, the state controlled sect of the Church of Terra Mariana adopted a set of theological laws that defined '''their religious leader as the "Supreme Pontiff"''' a title that would imply their leader to be the universal pope of christianity, like Pope Benedict XVII was.

Ultimately the Church of Terra Mariana opted to remove these terms from their theological laws in an effort to compromise with the Holy See. While they still continued to '''undermine Church authority''' in direct opposition with the first reform, Vatican officials turned the other way when it was soon realized their church was lacking activity and morale. Eventually the Church of '''Terra Mariana went silent due to inactivity and ceased operations'''. The Pope did not express hostility with the nation of Terra Mariana who were still skeptical in recognizing the authority of the Church, instead opting to calm the roman curia and creating friendly diplomatic channels between the Holy See and the nation. | Ultimately the Church of Terra Mariana opted to remove these terms from their theological laws in an effort to compromise with the Holy See.

On September 12th, 2020, Pope Benedict officially appointed the new '''Archbishop of France, Archbishop Karnakus'''. Thus creating the new Archdiocese of France. This marked the beginning of a new friendly diplomatic chapter between the nation of France and the Holy See who up to that point had been engaged a reluctant and tense diplomatic policy between each other. France was now allowing the Church to operate freely within its borders. | On September 12th, 2020, Pope Benedict officially appointed the new '''Archbishop of France, Archbishop Karnakus'''.

=== The Second Reform === | |||
On October 18th, 2020, a conference of bishops was held in Vatican City, hosted by the Pope himself. From this conference, the second papal reform emerged. '''Pope Benedict XVII pledged to open the Church''' even more so and decentralize it so that the papacy didn't have to micromanage it as much, he also allowed the public to access the Codicis Luris Canonici that up to that point had been reserved for clergy view only. Several key minor reforms and discussions were also held during this event. But most importantly and notably, was the agreement in declaring the end of the first crusade. | On October 18th, 2020, a conference of bishops was held in Vatican City, hosted by the Pope himself.
