Papacy Declares Crusade against Infidels!
Though it has understandbly taken some time for this news to travel to foreign lands since its original announcement within Spain, a meeting of the Curia took place at the Council of Castile so that the leaders of the Holy Catholic Church could discuss a request by King Justino Togas of Spain to declare a holy crusade against the invading infadels of Neu Demogyptica and the so-called "Glory of War".
After the meeting of the Curia in which a vote of the attending Cardinals was unanimous, the Supreme Pontiff, Pope Calixtus I, made the following announcement:
quote:
Originally posted by Pope Calixtus I, Supreme Pontiff
I have officially declared the war on China and on Arabia a crusade.
From now on, Spain's troops carry with them the Papal Banner, and the Paladins of the Church may accompany the army as aides to the Marshal and as generals.
I will officially bless our troops, and bestow on them titles befitting soldiers of God.
Also, I hereby appoint Polaris Winterius Archbishop of Spain and Bishop of Persia.
|
Following this announcement, the Pope sent his bannermen to all of the military units fighting for Spain and both gave them god's holy blessing and sanctified each unit with a name befitting them as crusaders of the Holy Catholic Church.
Furthermore, at the order of the Supreme Pontiff, the Swiss Guard have joined with the forces of Spain in this crusade and the Pope has sent the paladins of the church to fight alongside Spain in this war against the Devil and his minions of Neu Demogypticans and so-called "warmongers".
As with any crusade, all warriors who fight and die as crusaders against the vile heathens will be rewarded with an afterlife spent in paradise.
Brave men from across the Christian world are said to be taking up the opportunity to defend the Holy Catholic Church and earn their place in paradise!
The Pope has made an open call to such warriors that they shall also be given god's blessing should they fight on the side of Christiandom in this war.
Let the crusades begin!

Pope Calixtus I Provides Holy Warriors with Holy Marching Tune
The Supreme Pontiff, Pope Calixtus I, has provided the forces of Christiandom which he has blessed with the following hymn to keep their spirits raised in these, the darkest of times for the Church:
The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.
That martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on His tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train?
A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came;
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane;
They bowed their heads the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Savior's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of Heav'n,
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God, to us may grace be given,
To follow in their train.
When the Cruaders began to indeed sing this hymn as they marched for the Church, Duke Aidun Cian of Zaragosa, Lord Chamberlain of the House of Lords was said to be so moved that he broke into tears.
After this incident, the Lord Chamberlain called upon the Lords of Spain to vote on this hymn to become the official War Anthem of the Kingdom of Spain.
The vote in the House of Lords is said to be largely in favor, though it is still ongoing.
May the Supreme Pontiff be praised for his blessing of our armies of holy warriors!

Egypt? What?! Arnelos...was that a typo?! |
Apparently not, it seems to fit the surrounding context and he's had almost all day to correct it if had been a typo. It's makes sense, he's declared a crusade against GS who has taken the most of Roleplay's cities.
Mind you, Arnelos didn't type that, THAT IS A QUOTE FROM ROLEPLAY'S INTERNAL TEAM FORUM.

THE VATICAN NEWS
Unexplained Incidents in China and Spain after Crusade Declared!
VATICAN CITY, Saturday - Shortly after His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff Calixtus I, who is never ever mistaken on much of anything in matters spiritual, animal, and mineral, and is the model of a modern major religious leader, declared a crusade to be launched against China and Arabia, two strange and unexplained events took place in China and Spain.
According to Chinese Christian undercover missionaries, CrazyGhengis was horrified this morning to discover that his entire printing press had been tossed out of a four story window and run over by a hay cart until it was squashed.
"I don't know," he said, gnawing on his kneecaps, "I just wrote an article calling the Pope a moron, and then my printing press was mysteriously destroyed! I can't take this... I am afraid I may go completely sane!"
Chinese police officials admit that they are perplexed by this wanton destruction.
Li Ping Tung, 32, the police commissioner in Ghengis's district, reports that there are no descriptions of the culprits except that they "were last seen giggling malevolently and talking to each other in Swiss before they disappeared into the night."
Also, in Spain today, the official stenographer for the Vatican was found inside the belly of a squid that was washed up on shore.
He had been missing since the official press release.

The Pope declared the same Crusade he had declared earlier only with different targets, two hours later he declared a Crusade against Spain.... more to come.
