CURARE I – Reform of the Synod
CURAE II – Sermons
________________________________________
As time goes by and the seasons change, so must the people and organizations around it. With such changing times, the Synod's structure shall be altered as well. We, the collective holiness of the Synod announce the creation of the various Curia which shall act as the Ministries of past iterations. These Curia shall welcome various Reverends and Curates of the Empire to join the Synod and find themselves working in one of the ministries of sorts. These Curia are listed as follows:
Curia of Faith ~ is locked to His High Holiness Manfried II or whomever holds the position of High Reverend. They are charged with the duty to enforce the Supreme Reverend's will in regards to the various sects of each Reverend.
Curia of Clerks ~ allows laymen who are not official members of the Church to work alongside the Synod through Charity and the like. They will work with a Sect and assist that Reverend with events, preaching, and daily duties. This is open to commoners as well as the Noble peerage if they wish to join. The Curia can be used as a service towards redemption for sins committed in the past with certain as dedicated work under the Spirit's Church.
Curia of the Conclave ~ all Reverends who make up the Synod are already within this Curia. Charged with voting on important matters during Synod Diets.
Curia of the Inquisition ~ locked to His Holiness Jurgen von Drachenburg until he steps down. Charged with being the religious guide to the Inquisition.
Curia of History ~ various Reverends and Curates charged with spreading the history of Unionism through various events, recover lost Unionist artifacts, and record all Sermons to then be published within the Synod Bulls or separately.
Curia of Gospel ~ various Curates charged with assisting the High Reverend with the creation of Synod Bulls. They shall be present at the Synod meetings even though they cannot vote in order to record the votes and topics discussed.
Curia of the Church's Militant ~ various Reverends and Curates charged with guiding the Claw of Union and its leader.
With such reform, we use this as a call to Reverends and Curates around the Archipelago to travel to the Holy City and join the Synod in order to help improve the Church and spread the Unionist Creeds far and wide.
The Synod has decided in order to effectively spread the teachings of Unionism, that in future Synod Bulls, we shall offer the Regalian populace excerpts from some of the sermons that have been preached in the recent past.
~ "Therefore, I ask of the citizens of Regalia to report any information of gangs and lawless groups to the Violet Order and heresies to the Inquisition. While the citizenry may not be able to combat the enemy with sword and shield, we can certainly combat it with words and information. Let us push back the evils we face together as one Empire, under His Imperial Holiness Alexander the First and the Holy Imperial Spirit! Neben Mir!" – High Reverend Manfried II
~ "We must be the stewards of our faith against evil, we must be soldiers for truth, all of us! Evil comes in many forms. One must be aware of those forms: Laziness, Murder, Theft, Pettiness, Extortion, That which drives Man apart! Anything that incites man against man and woman against woman will be left behind. We will transcend, we must and we will be better." - Reverend Jurgen von Drachenburg
May the Spirit above,
Upon the radiant Imperial Throne,
Protect us against all evil,
Until the day where we his faithful,
Bring forth Paradise to Aloria,
When his light shall shine upon all.
Neben Mir.
