The Foundation of Societas Jesu

---

In 1540 Pope Paulus III recognized the Jesuite Order, created 1534 by the Spaniard Don Iñigo López de Recalade, better know as Ignatius of Loyola. He becomes one of the most devoted counter reformists and enemy number one of the Protestant movement. Loyola having a soldier background makes its mark on the order, which is organized almost as an army. High priority was given both to educating missionaries but also counselors for European royal courts. This made the Jesuite order very powerful in the politic scene. 1773 the Jesuite order was dissolved by Pope Pius VI due to pressure from Christian countries in the age of enlightenment. 1814 the Jesuite order was reinstituted, however just as a faint shadow of the powerful order it once had been.

The Counter-Reformation and the Reformation of the Catholic Faith

---

The Counter-reformation movement historically started in 1540 with the institution of the Societas Jesu. This marked the beginning of a few highly volatile decades in European history when the two sides of Reformed and Counter-reformed fought each other. At the same time there were forces within the Catholic Church who wanted reform to remedy the corruption and other afflictions of the church. Thus in 1545 the Council of Trent was called. The debate went on for almost 20 years with almost as much turmoil created as on the battlefields against the Protestants.

Cardinal-Nephew

---

The long tradition of appointing a nephew or other relative to the College of Cardinals is an easy way to make sure that family members are well cared for. Popes Gregory IX, Alexander IV, Adrian V, Gregory XI, Boniface IX, Innocent VII and Eugene IV have all promoted relatives to cardinals, especially nephews, thus the name Cardinal-Nephew. It is said that the first Cardinal-Nephew was Lotario, cousin of Pope Benedict VIII. The promotions of papal relatives to the College of Cardinals became common in the 13th century and now there's an opening for a Cardinal [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] [Root.Monarch.GetName] should consider whether or not a relative of his should get the appointment. Of course, the ruler must be asked beforehand, and if they refuse we can do nothing.

Sack of Rome

---

The recent battle has left the city of Rome in shambles, an event that will soon be known as the Sack of Rome. Mutinous troops of our enemy desired the sack and pillage of our rich city that for them appeared to be an easy target. The troops were joined by deserters and numerous bandits and their number soon greatly outnumbered ours. Our massive walls and strong artillery force at first seemed capable to repel the attackers, and when their commander was fatally wounded in the first assault we thought they would retreat, but no. Their restraint disappeared when their commander fell, and the soldiers captured the walls of Rome the same day. On the steps of St Peter's Basilica, our last few guards met a ghastly end, slaughtered before the pillage began. Destruction, looting and executions followed until, at last, the bandits, deserters, soldiers and looters began their long trek home with what valuables they managed to pilfer.

Sistine Chapel

The Cappella Maggiore - the Greater Chapel - is used for masses that can be held in smaller, less public spaces than the Basilicas. The years have not been gentle to the once magnificent chapel that was decorated by Fra Angelico, its walls are leaning and it is in ruinous state. The chapel should be demolished, the structure is not safe enough for the many masses that are held there every year. A new, more magnificent building should take its place, and there are many famous artists that would be honored if they were asked to decorate the new Sistine Chapel.

The old, decrepit Cappella Maggiore is no more - in its place the grand Sistine Chapels now stands. The Temple of Solomon and the Sistine Chapels are the same dimensions, as given in the Old Testament. The exterior is unadorned by decorative details, the building divided into three stories with a vaulted ceiling and six tall arched windows on the sides, two on either end. Although beautiful in its simplicity, the chapel's beauty could be enhanced by frescoes painted by the foremost artists of our time.

Indulgences - to sell or not?

The selling of relics has made many a church rich, and if the Pope were to publicly announce his support of this practice, some of that money would find its way to our coffers.

Galileo Galilei

---

The notion that the Earth and the planets would revolve around the Sun is an idea Nicolaus Copernicus first wrote about in his book 'De revolutionibus orbium coelestium' in 1543 and now Galileo Galilei has promoted it again, in his book 'Sidereus Nuncius' - 'Starry Messenger'! His controversial championing of this has given him many enemies in the Catholic Church, and although we admit that he would be a most interesting debate opponent, maybe we should be cautious and just imprison him to stop his ideas to reach the public?

Sublimis Deus

---

It is to our dismay that we have learnt that Catholic countries have enslaved the Indians of the West and the South to use them as a cheap work source. Granted that earlier Popes have allowed this, as they argued that these new people were not truly human and possessed no souls. The New Testament says that the gospel has been preached to all nations and since they do not believe in our God, perhaps they do not count. Humanity is divided into three race, Europeans, Asians, and Africans, one for each of the sons of Noah, and the Indians of the Americas do not fit among these divisions. Now that we know that these pagans can be converted, it is time to revision our old beliefs and acknowledge these as humans, with souls, who God has a purpose for.

[From.Monarch.GetTitle]: Allow witch trials

---

The message from the [From.Monarch.GetTitle] was very clear, sorcery and witchcraft should be pursued, the accused ones tried and the guilty ones punished for their sinful deeds. All who worship the Devil, attend witches' Sabbaths and threaten Christendom will burn in Hell!

The Rival's Pope

---

The former Papal controller is a rival of our current, and there are plenty of decisions, papal bulls and decrees of the last [Root.Monarch.GetTitle] that can be made undone. This would soil the former [Root.Monarch.GetTitle]'s reputation and make him look incompetent, which would be looked upon with gratitude and approval from our current Papal controller.

Rivalry between Popes

---

The previous [From.Monarch.GetTitle] was controlled by one of our rivals, and if [From.Monarch.GetTitle] [From.Monarch.GetName] were to erase the work he has done by dissolving decisions, cancel Papal bulls and dismissing decrees of his, then it would soil the reputation of both the previous [From.Monarch.GetTitle] and our rival!

Lacking Support

For reasons unknown, some of the cardinals have begun to question your decisions more and more lately, it almost seems like they are beginning to lose faith in your ability to govern the Catholic Church.

Papal State

The deep devotion of the Roman Catholics in Rome has awakened a desire for an independent state ruled by Popes of the Church. A large part of the population has expressed support for the idea of such an establishment and has now turned to $MONARCH$ for approval.

It truly saddens us to see that the dominions of the Pope have all but disappeared. Our strong devotion makes us the ideal candidate responsible for establishing a new Papal State. Perhaps we should cede a province of ours?
