[edit] Origins

In 2143, the Pope Innocent I convoked a synod of Kardinals from around Terra in order to try the former pope Pius II (now a rotting corpse) for crimes against the holy see. Pius II was found guilty of all charges and his cadaver was stripped of all papal regalia. Shamed and humiliated, the corpse somehow managed to split away from the Terrean Catholic Church and found his own new see, the Orthodox Catholic Church. Far more conservative than any existing chuch, the OCC has attracted around 21,000 followers, mostly in Kanjor. [edit] Doctrine

The OCC's beliefs are centered around much more than the bible. Over only 4 years, Pope Pius II has issued (through an unknown process) nearly fifty papal bulls, each one expressing his infallable thoughts on Catholicism. Here are the Church's core beliefs from the bible, but also from these papal bulls:

-OCC believes everything that the Catholic Church of Terra does except:

* The Pope's statements are so infallable that if anyone expresses doubt about them, they should be killed on the spot

* Priests and Church workers may not touch or even look upon a woman's skin

* Homosexuals will be burnt at the stake (if possible), or just secretly murdered

* Non Church goer's are to be shuned and are not elligable to burial

* Science is to be treated as heresy, a myth made by worshippers of Satan

* Anyone tried of being an athiest by a Church synod can be killed by anyone in the OCC

* The bible should be followed word-for-word. No cooking on sundays, no eating pork, etc.

[edit] History [edit] List of Leaders

Pope Pius II is expected to be the only Pope for quite a long time. His corpse is decaying at such a slow rate (thanks to his -6 degree C papal chamber), that succession could only occur if he were pushed from the throne or if he abdicated it. Both senarios are unlikely.

Here is the list of Leaders from the pope down to the priests:

->The Pope, Vicar of Christ, Prince of the Apostles, Servent of the servents of God

-->The Transpatriarchs of the 9 Exarchies

--->The Patriarchs of the 35 Eparchies

--->The Bishops of the 198 Provinces

--->The Archimandrites of the 503 Parishes

--->The Priests who work in the 503 Parishes Retrieved from "http://80.237.164.51/particracy/wiki/index.php/Orthodox_Catholic_Church"
