Coburan Patriarchal Church

Origins of the Church

The Coburan Catholic Church was founded in the year 2155 after a Synod of the major Bishops of Cobura announced a total break in their ties to the Terran Catholic Church (Deltaria) due to a difficult relationship with "Pope" Jana I, who was later declared an Antipope and excommunicated.

At what is now called the Glorious Synod the Bishops elected one of their own as Pope Adrian I and the Coburan Catholic Church (CCC) was born. [edit] Doctrine of the Church

The Coburan Catholic Church holds much the same doctrines as found in the RL Roman Catholic Church except for the following.

* The Cardinalate (Cardinals) is not needed, the highest office in the CCC short of becomming Pope is Bishop. * Clergy can marry * Women can become priests with the same rights as their male counterparts * Homosexuality is accepted * The Pope is Infallable in all matters until/or unless his Successor says otherwise * Mary is considered "Co-Redemptrix" along with Jesus in the Salvation of Mankind and is considered part of the Trinity * While some Proestant Churches can be (and are) considered to be sister churches to the CCC and Salvation is possible to attain in these specified churches, the only clear cut road to Salvation is in the Teachings of the Coburan Catholic Church

[edit] History of Coburan Catholic Church

After his election the Pope Adrian I announced that the city of Nova Roma (where the Glorious Synod took place) would forever be the "Heart of God's Living Church on Terra until the End Times", within the first days of his election Adrian went into full work mode and issued more Papal Bulls than any CCC Recognized Pope in history. The reforms are continuing to be issued which Adrian says is in the name of "purifying" the Church from the taint of centuries of corruption.

What has emerged is not the crisis of faith that was expected by some secular commentators but rather an increase in devotion to the new Church, attendance to Mass has tripled among all races and classes in Cobura and Pope Adrian's calls for peace in the growing conflicts in Cobura has made him popular with the masses.

Despite Pope Adrian's calls for Catholic Unity and peace he has issued a Papal Bull of Excommunication upon all other "Popes" in Terra. The Caliph Khali'afar I of All Islam called for a meeting of the Popes of Terra because he considered himself "neutral enough to issue a fair decision on Papal Succession", the Coburan Catholic Church declined to attend the meeting because it was not the proper time for such a meeting when tensions were growing across Terra, and the conditions in Cobura were worsening.

A few weeks later there was an attempt on the life of Pope Adrian I by an NUP assassin named Radovan Milanovic but his attempt on the Pope's life failed and provoked riots all across Cobura between Coburan Catholics and supporters of the various Antipopes. Despite a Papal Bull which forgave Radovan of his sinful action he was executed without a trial by the secular authorities a few days later.

Pope Adrian I also sent delegates to several Inter-Faith Summits to help spread tolerance in the world, and to help bring the message of the Coburan Catholic Faith to all of Terra.

When Pope Adrian I died it sent shockwaves all across Cobura, after a long Second Synod his Successor was chosen, he was Felix I, the former Bishop of Ceasarea and a supporter of Adrian I's policies. [edit] Popes of the Coburan Catholic Church

While the Coburan Catholic Church is recognized by the following, the Bishops Conclave of Cobura, the Caliph of Islam, the Government of Cobura, and most secular autorities the CCC still faces persecution, the NUP has lead several attempts to create a Coburan Inquisition agianst the Coburan Catholic Church, these attempts were stopped in Parliament with the aide of the League of the Imperial Autocrats and other Coburan Catholic Sympathizers.

The Church of Scientology and several Communist Parties in various countries across Terra have launched "Holy Wars" and "Purifications" against the Coburan Catholic Faith in order to wipe out our religion. Retrieved from "http://80.237.164.51/particracy/wiki/index.php/Coburan_Catholic_Church"
