 catholic_religion:1 "Catholic"
 catholic_religion_adj:1 "Catholic"
 catholic_religion_adherent:1 "Catholic"
 catholic_religion_adherent_plural:1 "Catholics"
 catholic_religion_desc:1 "Catholic faiths, either the Roman Catholic Churches and its Rites, or Independent Catholic Churches such as the Sevillian Church, all claim apostolic succession via Papacy from Saint Peter, who was promised the Keys of Heaven by Jesus Christ. Catholic Churches are always led by the Pope, who unquestionably commands the full authority of the whole Church, all of its priests, and all of its rulers."

 orleaniste:0 "Order of Sainte Jeanne d'Arc"
 orleaniste_adj:0 "Orléaniste"
 orleaniste_adherent:0 "Orleanist"
 orleaniste_adherent_plural:0 "Orleanists"
 orleaniste_desc:0 "A Catholic holy order at its roots, the Orleanist creed states that Saint Joan was given the sword Joyeuse by the angel Marianne in order to smite the Beast during [Concept('neow_the_event','Armageddon')|E]. Vengeful, the followers of Therion branded Joan a heretic, executing her and tarnishing her legacy for years to come. Though the Church has since canonised her as a Saint in Heaven, her loyal Order has not forgotten the Devil's corrupting influence on the Church, and their growing resentment and defiance culminated in the entire Order's excommunication. The now-independent Knights of Saint Joan continue to organise and rally within France's remaining bastions of faith, preparing to march upon Albion and send the resurrected worshippers of the Crowned Beast to Hell once and for all."

 celtic:0 "Celtic Rite"
 celtic_adj:0 "Celtic"
 celtic_adherent:0 "Celtic Catholic"
 celtic_adherent_plural:0 "Celtic Catholics"
 celtic_desc:0 "The Celtic Rite of the Roman Catholic Church was founded shortly after the restoration of the Holy See, given to the remaining Catholics of the British Isles due to their distance from the Pope, as well as to reinforce the Church in Britain ahead of the rise of the occultist British Empire. Though still in total communion with Rome, the Patriarch of Dublin oversees all temporal matters of the Church in Britain, while other more spiritual matters eventually find their way into the Pope's hands in Rome."

 illuminated:0 "Illuminated Lodges"
 illuminated_adj:0 "Illuminated"
 illuminated_adherent:0 "Illuminated Catholic"
 illuminated_adherent_plural:0 "Illuminated Catholics"
 illuminated_desc:0 "Believing the world to have fallen under the dominion of demons since the Event, initiates of the Illuminated Lodges seek to destroy the obscurant influence of Lucifer and his horde over mankind. Until this is done by removing the current servant of Satan in Rome and restoring a true Vicar of Christ, God is unable to intercede on Earth. Due to this dire situation, Illuminati take a very pragmatic view of demonology, turning a blind eye to more manipulative solutions if exorcism should fail. This is with the understanding that believers will use dark magic to smite all forms of hellish power, furthering the cause of Christendom’s enlightenment. However, to outsiders, this has drawn accusations of demon worship, despite it being antithetical to the faith’s goals."

 cadaverist:0 "Church of his Holiness the Perserved"
 cadaverist_adj:0 "Cadaverist"
 cadaverist_adherent:0 "Cadaverist Catholic"
 cadaverist_adherent_plural:0 "Cadaverist Catholics"
 cadaverist_desc:0 "Cadaverists are a small heretic sect that believe that one of the last Antediluvian Popes is not in fact dead, but can still miraculously speak to members of the higher Cadaverist clergy. It is said that the angel Gabriel came to him during the event and froze his mind within his body to preserve it, as a way to protect him from the calamity. They believe he will some day be restored to his pre-event form once the Cadaverist faithful make up all of the Christian faithful. It is unknown how they came to that conclusion, or how they obtained a corpse in full Papal Regalia. Unsurprisingly enough, the mainstream Catholic Church is not happy about the fact they keep said corpse atop a golden recreation of the Holy See and insisting that it can communicate. Cadaverists meanwhile consider all post-event Church popes to be antipopes, and all other Christians vile heretics who abandoned the Pope, who obviously was blessed by God himself with immortality."

 fraticelli:0 "Neo-Fraticelli Catholic Church"
 fraticelli_adj:0 "Neo-Fraticelli"
 fraticelli_adherent:0 "Neo-Fraticelli Catholic"
 fraticelli_adherent_plural:0 "Neo-Fraticelli Catholics"
 fraticelli_desc:0 "The Neo-Fraticelli, or 'New Little Brethren', is a Catholic heresy that was inspired by records of a medieval heresy of the same name. It is devoted to poverty and asceticism - especially for men of the cloth. Fraticelli heretics are violently opposed to Church wealth and displays of opulence among the populace. This is due to Mammon Prince of Greed being viewed as the demon King of the old world, he grew so powerful as to overthrow Lucifer Prince of Pride himself. He brought about the fall of the old world intentionally therefore the sin of greed is considered as fatal, if not more than, pride. They see the old world as a society of Pharisees who, instead of helping those in need, separated from them because they bothered their hearts."

 sevillian:0 "Sevillian Catholic Church"
 sevillian_adj:0 "Sevillian"
 sevillian_adherent:0 "Sevililan Catholic"
 sevillian_adherent_plural:0 "Sevillian Catholics"
 sevillian_desc:0 "A traditionalist rejection of the degenerate city of Rome, the Sevillians are defined by their recognition of a new Pope in Seville. The church traces its history back to just before the [Concept('neow_the_event','Event')|E], when the man who would become the first Sevillian Pope was given a vision by the Archangel Raphael that he must get the Vicar of Christ to depart from that "new Sodom", or else face the wrath of God. When this warning was ignored, the world was punished. Long since then, the [Concept('neow_sevillian_church','Sevillian Papacy')|E] has come to develop a canon that rejects many of the mistakes made by the Roman Vicar, especially those of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican. Further, the Sevillians have upheld long standing practices since abandoned by the Roman Church, from the allowance of indulgences in serious cases, to the prohibition on clerical marriage and the ordination of women."

 roman_catholic:0 "Roman Catholic Church"
 roman_catholic_adj:0 "Roman"
 roman_catholic_adherent:0 "Catholic"
 roman_catholic_adherent_plural:0 "Catholics"
 roman_catholic_desc:0 "The Roman Catholic Church survived through the [Concept('neow_the_event','Event')|E], like it did through so many other crises, great and small. It did not, however, come out unscathed. Though the state of the Church during the Event is murky at best, the Holy See was officially restored in the Year 2100, with the Keys of Heaven being given to Saint Adalbertus, the first legitimate successor to pre-Event Pope John Paul II. The Church has had many losses, losing large swathes of territory to pagans, heretics, and idolators, as well as suffering from the [Concept('neow_sevillian_church','Sevillian Schism')|E], where the faithful of Spain flocked to a rival Pope in Seville. Since then, the true Holy See has adapted to the post-Event world accordingly, allowing the marriage of priests and the appointment of female deacons to make up for the massive loss of life during the Event, as well as recognising a variety of local rites and the celebration of Vernacular Mass. Now, the Church may finally, for the first time in a long time, have the upper hand against its neighbours, and only time may tell if it will survive in this new changing world, as it has for countless millennia."

 teutonic:0 "Teutonic Rite"
 teutonic_adj:0 "Teutonic"
 teutonic_adherent:0 "Teutonic Catholic"
 teutonic_adherent_plural:0 "Teutonic Catholics"
 teutonic_desc:0 "Following the catastrophic collapse of the Catholic Church in Germany in the early days of the post-Event, much of its remaining Catholic population was either killed or driven into exile by hostile pagans. Recognising the perility of their situation, the Holy See approved the Teutonic Order taking over the Church in Germany as its own autonomous (sui iuris) rite, administered from their headquarters in Vienna. The Grand Master oversees most of its dioceses as a Patriarch would, while still in full communion with the Pope in Rome. Mass is generally performed in German, and many parishes, especially border ones, are directly administered by the Order itself."


 iberian:0 "Iberian Rite"
 iberian_adj:0 "Iberian"
 iberian_adherent:0 "Iberian Catholic"
 iberian_adherent_plural:0 "Iberian Catholics"
 iberian_desc:0 "With the Sevillian Schism splitting the Catholic Church into two, and the newly founded Sevillian Church asserting its control over much of Iberia, the remaining Catholics loyal to the Pope in Rome were granted the Iberian Rite, led by the Patriarch of Lisbon. Surrounded on all sides and mostly isolated from Rome, the Church in Iberia chooses to do nothing proactive about the growing threat in Seville. Instead, they hold that by staying peaceful and defensive, the Sevillians' pride will eventually become their doom."
