On condemnation of heretics.
Synodical Regency - November 8 305 AC
Preamble ( Skip this part as TLDR)
Through the power given by His Imperial Holiness, the Synod has appointed to administer spiritual and temporal punishments as each case severally deserves. The purpose of this is repression of the wicked designs of misguided men, who have been so captivated by the debased impulse of their evil purpose as to forget their duty to the Spirit, to set aside with contempt canonical decrees and apostolic commandments. They who dare to formulate new and false dogmas and to introduce the evil of schism into the Sancella of Union- or to support, help and adhere to such schismatics, who make it their business to cleave asunder the seamless measures against such men and their followers, and by multiplying punitive measures and by other suitable remedies see to it that these same overbearing men, them along to share their own error and ruination, contaminating them with what amounts to contagious disease. Any assistance that is lent to these traitors bear sin of themselves, should these collaborators turn themselves into the church with public declaration of their confusion and remorse, to their true selves make an unqualified withdraw their conversation, fellowship and above all obedience to such accursed excommunicates; by this means they may escape divine vengeance and any degree of participation in their damnation.
I.
We, seeing impieties and crimes multiplied one upon another, breaking of oath and profaning holy ground growing in severity to speak against the Sancella as a Virgin Blade, who has been recognized not to have her mind fixed by pious prayers has instead thrice damned her soul.
The Sancella is compelled by necessity to take up against her justice, the Sancella in fullness of its apolistic power declare Iona of Heinrich a heretic and a favourer of heathens, and her adherents in the matters to incur the sentence of Damnation and to be cut off from the unity of the Sancella were they to assist or speak to her.
Henceforth Iona of Basta is a traitor to the Sancella and can not return to the faith. All who lend assistance to her or even speak with the woman damn themselves to equal degree.
II.
The Sancella also declares Virathus Krupp, its subjects and people of his realm who have in any sworn oaths to him, to be absolved from such an oath and from any duty arising from lordship. Spiritual fealty and obedience; and we do, by authority of these presents, so absolve them to release them from punishment.
Virathus Krupp is declared under investigation and is beset by a writ of sin. Those who leave his side and return to the sanctity of the Empire, will be spiritually forgiven of all crimes.
