'''St. Stephen's Church''', also known as '''Josephinism''' is the independent catholic-apostolic administration of the German Confederation. The use of the pope's authority as a political force was not welcomed by stephanists / josephanists. Examples of this can be shown as the crusades launched against the enemies of the nation in which the pope is located. In addition, the conflicts between Austria ( one of the confederation members ) with the Vatican, and the religious vacuum that emerged in Germany, and the need to seperate themselves from the pope and the political actions of Francia against the subject state of Saxony fueled the formation of this religion. ~~It's~~ roots can be traced back to 2021.

== ~~History~~ ==

== Early Reforms and Catalysts ==

After ~~an ultimatum and eventual declaration of war against Saxony~~, the ~~split between Austria~~ and the ~~Roman Catholic Church grew significantly. Francia~~, the ~~most pious state outside the pope's own holdings, has just attacked a member state~~. ~~The pope has also contradicted several~~ of ~~his values, such as launched crusades and favouritism towards Francia~~.

After Old Germany's split, Catholic influence over the land was lost and a religious vacuum was created. Though technically the Austrian royal family considered themselves to be loosely catholic, no practices of mass or religious administration took place across the land. Most of it was considered secular.

Technically, Austria was not in the holy see's administration (though there were Roman-Catholic clergy) far before the St. Stephen's establishment- but the ~~formality was made until~~ January ~~2021 quietly within its members to properly remove~~ the ~~ties in response~~.

And early reformer known as Toefte made some early attempts to change the liturgy and add more tolerance, but this was stalled. He was later ordained a dean due to his efforts. It is generally thought he inspired some of the basis for early secular-josephinist philosophy, which arose with the Turkish influx of players which required a decent amount of tolerance in Christian lands.

The German Confederation was formed without any administration from the pope, who was in increasingly political matters: such as judging the legitimacy of claims, backing wars or even starting a crusade against Apostolic Christians. This caused aggravation due to the fact the pope said he'd tolerate other branches of Christianity.

== Formalisation of the Church ==

After an ultimatum and eventual declaration of war against Saxony, the split between Austria and the Roman Catholic Church grew significantly. Francia, the most pious state outside the pope's own holdings, has just attacked a member state.

Technically, Austria was not in the holy see's administration (though there were Roman-Catholic clergy) far before the St. Stephen's establishment- but Erwinning and other mayors, including a member of the Roman-Catholic Clergy, decided that a formalised announcement must take place to dissolve any affiliation with the Francians and to demote the pope due to his contradictions and supposed misconduct. This finally happened on the 15th of January, 2022 on the German Confederation discord server.
