An Archbishop a figure in charge of multiple dioceses. Having a single person appointed to serve in multiple bishoprics is actually called pluralism, and is against Royal edict. For the time being the Irish priests can serve as a bishop and as a parish priest simultaneously because of the shortage of manpower, but I expect that will change as the number of qualified folks grows.

NORMALLY, the Archbishop would be in charge of appoint bishops, who would then appoint priests, who then actually shepherd over their flocks. The Archbishop position doesn't seem to be fully implemented yet, though, so we still have to petition admins to have bishops installed.

Speaking of: I (as Bishop of Corcaigh) have been contacted by at least two individuals inquiring about how to become priest of Antoland (previously known as Cill Chaoi). Since there is no bishop in Cill Chaoi, what is the procedure to have a priest appointed there?

Well there is another complicated factor as well:

Both of the individuals who have asked about being named priest are unrepentant supporters of Anto_Capone and the NNGO, and insofar as I am aware, the declaration of Anathema against NNGO has not yet been lifted.

With nobody qualified to be named Bishop, is there no way at all to circumvent the system and get a priest there?

(speaking strictly OOC, it really isn't realistic in Ireland right now to expect every church position to be filled by a person qualified in the Church's eyes. There just aren't enough people, and I personally am of the belief that by leaving parish-level positions open we are doing more harm than good since people cannot even attend mass. There are willing people who want to serve as priests but due to various reasons do not meet the Church's criteria. The church is slowly dying in Ireland, owing in no small part to a tremendous shortage of appointed priests in the towns.

I think that over the long-term, it would be in the Church's best interest to fill these positions by any means necessary until such point as *qualified* applicants EXIST. There are oodles of lvl 3 church ways running around that refuse to take the clerical vows. I don't see why we should let the in-game functions of the church fall by the wayside due to a few forum RP formalities that have no bearing whatsoever on the actual in-game function of the parish priest's duties.)

Correction, I'm not sacristan deacon. I'm just a deacon. I need a bishop in Killaloe before I can become the sacristan deacon of Inis. If people that are qualified to become bishops don't go to other diocese to become bishop, because their parish priest in another diocese, how are we ever going to get a bishop? If Prospero isn't interested, maybe another parish priest would be? I want a bishop, I'm not that picky.

You are correct on all points sister (though perhaps being just a little picky would okay). Wink

The diocese of Kilmacduagh have his first council member : Livius .

About An Gort I wasn't able to appoint IF Kaylia indeed she isn't a church way level but of the science way. Do you know if it's still possible for her to change her way ?

Tomorrow I will baptize Solon128 and a few days after (the time for him to follow the Seminary) he will be priest of his parish.

An Gort ...
There is an exchange of letters between Livius and me. He must follow the Seminary but he has problem to connect to this forum. I just suggested him to give me his email ... I hope this will solve this problem.

(the previous candidate wasn't level 3 of the church ... it's a waste of time)
