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.

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.
