L'Eglise Aristotelicienne Romaine The Roman and Aristotelic Church

[Cathelineau]

Thank God I have been on the job for months against this enemy and my country is doing what it takes to fight Anjou. So while here it is discussing the Grand Duchy fights. I am just saddened, not to say dismayed, to see the lack of reaction from the Pope, Dean and Vice Dean. It definitely can't work if no one is there to decide when to attack us, if it takes weeks to decide we won't be able to do anything.

It is amusing to see how some cardinals complain when we intervene in debates yet when we do not intervene some complain because we don't. Do not worry, brother Cathelineau, we are still listening and we will express our conclusions if nobody wants to add anything to this discussion.

Holy Father, here we are talking about a violent attack against the church, it is not necessary to wait for 2 weeks of debate, we are no longer in the time of the camerlengue.

Indeed, brother, we are no longer in the time of the Camerlingue, but that doesn't mean this Council should not be able to debate or that we shouldn't ask for its advice.

Craon has fallen and...


Il y a eu une attaque contre le diocèse d'Auch dont le nouvel évêque est David que les Angevins avaient déjà agressé quand il avait voulu prendre son poste en Anjou. Or, parmi les assaillants figure Phinomene, membre du Conseil ducal d'Anjou, célèbre journaliste et ancienne évêque. Il s'agit donc d'un coup préparé par les Angevins.
------------------------------------------------

There was an attack against the diocese of Auch whose new bishop is David whom the Angevins had already attacked when he wanted to take his post in Anjou. Among the attackers was Phinomene, a member of the Ducal Council of Anjou, a famous journalist and former bishop. It is therefore a shot prepared by the Angevins.

--------------------------------------

C'è stato un attacco alla diocesi di Auch, il cui nuovo vescovo è Davide, che gli Angioini avevano già aggredito quando aveva voluto prendere il suo posto in Angiò. Tra gli assalitori figura Phinomene, membro del Consiglio ducale di Angiò, celebre giornalista ed ex vescovo. Si tratta quindi di un colpo preparato dagli Angioini.

So what happend in that case, Cardinal Felipe. I heard you wanted put things on an index - but we didn't got any response of the fact if that happend or not or if things faded away like the sand of the sahara.

We didn't do anything! We got shit on by a fucking province that doesn't even defend its cities! We're not going to have to bring her back in front of the Emperor or the King of France if we don't even know how to deal with 50 assholes!

Ah, it's clean, Anjou can boast, we don't even know how to answer, they can plunder us in peace, we should even give the cards and the keys to the safes.

Your anger is comprehensible, Brother Cathelineau. Let us hope that the next monarch of France will be cooperative in this regard, and that we can join forces against the Angevins.

As far as I am concerned, I asked for the text to be included in the index a few days ago, but it seems that the new prefect, Mgr David, did not do his job. I will write to him immediately to get it done.

Thank you that you was able to inform Curia that you did your job after a month of absentia, Cardinal Felipe.

Maybe we all will have the pleasure to see things on the index in one more month - or two.

I have not been absent, on the contrary, I have been more active than ever, both in my visits to the Eternal City and in my archdiocese. Just because you cannot see my work does not mean that it does not exist.

However, I fear that your misinformation may be due to the long distance between Rome and Holland where, as far as I know, you have had to take refuge after being declared a convicted criminal in the German kingdom. In that sense I would like to express my solidarity and support for you at this time, which must surely be very difficult for you.

You mean as complicated as it is for a Spaniard who, because of his "situation", left his homeland to get asylum as Archbishop of Bordeaux.

After all, after making yourself very comfortable in Rome for a very long time, you've landed an archdiocese. Congratulation by the way. I hope you do better there than in Spain. Because you failed there, badly.

I am not a refugee in Holland. I'm working on making Holland a complete Aristotelian state. Are you doing the same in France? Oh no, you lack a simple standing there - regrettable. For some jobs you need balls. Thats so true.

Your information is also incomplete. Better check it - I am not a criminal in Germany - they just want to put me on trial. As long as this trial does not come with a negative verdict, I remain innocent. And as you should know me - such ideas to trial me, never come to a victory. They try to trial me now the 20th time and failing.

You would know how that feels, if you gain importance in the world and step on others feet cause you fight for the right things - But yes - thats something new for you. By the way - you are considered criminal by the Empire - do you feel yourself now proud or less? I simply ask for the statistics, cause you seems to try to use a personal information about me as an insult.

But it is significant that you have once again strained your two brain cells to spread something mean about me and then, as always, it is half-truths, fairy tales and fake news.

Try again, Cardinal Felipe. Maybe you'll have better luck next time.

If you put so much half-heartedness into your work as a cardinal and bishop as you did in your research on me, then I'm not surprised that everything takes so long with you, from thought processes to decisions.

But I have all the time in the world.

How long did it last to gain access to the Archbishop of Utrecht so he can work on the Registry of Sacraments - ah yes that was also a month.

It seems to be a pattern - monthly work ethic ...

My dear brother, it seems that you are much less well informed than I am.

I am a free and well-respected man in the Hispanic kingdoms, I am still a prince in Castilla, where my family comes from, and I was archbishop of Valencia at the request of His Holiness to solve a serious problem with my predecessor in that episcopal see. That work having been satisfactorily completed, I stayed many more months in that see, until the war and the political enquest between the different kingdoms of the Peninsula bored me. I looked for a worthy successor and did not leave until the archbishopric was once again in charge of another prelate.

Then I simply went on pilgrimage through France and Italy, until, while I was in Genoa, the heretical imperial crown made me an enemy of the Empire like the other cardinal bishops and the Holy Father, except for you. I do not know what your oaths and promises were to the heretical wh*re who sat on the throne to pardon you, though I imagine it is a relevant fact for the other brother cardinals to think about. I am not going to judge you for it, the Most High will take care of that when the time comes.

But I am not a coward, when they put a price on my head I wrote to the Doge of Genoa to surrender myself to secular justice. God was pleased that this man was benevolent and merciful and a few days later he allowed me to leave Italian territory without the slightest offence or aggression. It seems that some regents of the Empire do remember the values and virtues of our religion.

Once my adventure in Italy was over, and given the shortage of bishops in France, I wrote to the Primate Adelene, who, together with the other members of the AEF, warmly welcomed me by naming me Archbishop of Bordeaux. I am there today, serving the faithful, where I feel appreciated and loved by the local people and the secular authorities.

That is my life story, for those who want to know it. As you can see, I do not need to embellish my story with fantasies or pretensions.



Regarding the appointment of the Archbishop of Utrecht to the Register of Sacraments, it is a process that was solved in twelve days. He wrote to me on 26 August, and we had an epistolary exchange until the 30th, because I need to know the needs of the congregation and my future subordinates. His final appointment was made public on 7 September, as soon as I had the keys of the office in my hands so that I could give it to him.

My explanations are addressed to the members of this assembly in an example of transparency, not to you, who have no authority to hold me accountable for what I do. Remember that you are just my equal.
