Pope Paul VII Borghese

ROMA - White smoke appeared today at 0.42AM local time over the Sistine Chapel in Rome - the first sign that a new Pope had been elected by the Conclave of Cardinals. A few minutes later, the bells of St. Peter's Basilica began ringing, confirming the election. Camillo Cardinal Borghese had been selected as the successor to John Paul II as the 265th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and will be known as Pope Paul VII

The new Pope appeared to the public within an hour of the first announcement. He appeared on the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica and delivered a short address to the crowd in Italian. Tens of thousands of people were in St Peter's Square to observe the results of the election.

The election of Camillo Cardinal Borghese, follows the process of normalization and re-conciliation between Italy and the Roman Chatolic Church. Paul VII also claimed to be the legal successor to the throne of Peter in Rome and refused to recognize any other Pope elected after the death of John Paul II in 2005. The Republican Military Government expressed satisfaction.

OOC: Um, first of all, JPII never existed in CNRP. Secondly, I RP the Church

OOC: First of all the history of Planet Bob begins in 2005, the year JPII died. Secondly, you don't control Rome or the people in it. If you can't see the "great plan", this is an attempt of General Borghese (the pope is a relative of him, even in real life, Pope Paul V was a relative of Captain Junio Borghese) to gain the support from the chatolic population. :P

OOC: Actually, If i remember correctly, CNRP's history changes from Earth right after WWI.

It's either that, or there is no RL history in CNRP, I can't remember, gimme a sec and I'll return

OOC: Mods said that CN history divulges from real life at 2005. :v: Whether or not you accept that is up to you but if Borghese wants to accept it then you cannot force him not to.

OOC: Do you have a link for that, because I've found Snape saying that WWII never happened in CNRP, but nothing else

OOC: I thought you rerolled as Texas, correct?

OOC: I didn't have to reroll because the Church isn't a country. Besides, I made comments by the Church even after my DoE.

Also, you'd have to be Paul VIII because the player Holy See already took Paul VII. And please spell Catholic right.

OOC: Fine. You'd be seen as an antipope.

IC: The Catholic Church (The one with Pope Alexis I) warns all Catholics that this is an attempt to lure all Catholics away from the true, original Church. We would like to say that all statements from the Church will come out through Jerusalem, not Rome, as the Fascist government has booted us out. Attempts to notify the Catholics inside Rome are currently being carried out. An emergency conference will be held shortly.

Statmenet from the Vatican:

We demand that Italy cease preaching the lie of their antipope and begin restoring rights to the people as well as allow the Pope to come back and preach freely without having to wear a paper bag on his head. Italy may choose to comply or meet with Catholic diplomats. Ignorance will be met with severe consequences. You have 15 hours to respond.

((OOC: These informations are avaliable to those who have at least one character in Rome related to the Church issue. "Church of Jerusalem" is the term used by the Government to refer at KingChris' church))

The Republican Military Government firmly REJECTS any threat and ultimatum issued by the Church of Jerusalem against the Italian People. On the basis of this statement, any diplomat or representative of the Church of Jerusalem will be from now on ARRESTED AND EXPELLED from the country.

Meanwhile, in Rome...

300px-Spedizione_pun.jpg

Buildings and residences owned by known anti-fascist, and supporter of the Church of Jerusalem were set on fire. Squads of blackshirts were patrolling the streets during the night.

Today the weather is clear, traffic and markets have just taken over the streets, everyone is talking about the visit by Annetje van Matteus, the charming Prime Minister of Transvaal, a close friend of Junio Borghese and Republican Italy. The newspapers are too busy to talk about the ultimatum issued by the Church of Jerusalem, or more likely they were ordered to not publish anything related to such ultimatum.

The OVRA Organizzazione per la Vigilanza e la Repressione dell'Anti-Fascismo (Organization for Vigilance and Repression of Anti-Fascism) was activated to eradicate any form of dissent and anti-fascist, anti-italian, anti-Borghese sentiments amongst the population, and it included those who's faith is somehow in conflict with the doctrine of fascism and the laws of Fascist Italy.

During the night, squads of Camicie Nere (Blackshirts) were ordered to raid, beat down, destroy, set on fire any pro-Church propaganda against Pope Paul VII and the new Church of Rome. Articles and TV news are highly monitored by the Ministry of Communication, everyone is afraid to talk about this issue, and the Government is not going to wait any further before the situation escalates.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also issued a new order to border guards in airports and docks in order to prevent any suspicious foreign traveller to enter the country and spread anti-fascist propagana, anyone related to the Church of Jerusalem must be detained and interrogated, and even tortured, in order to make him talk.

The Duce of Italica and the Great Council of Fascism supports the Italian Republic in this political and religious contentious. The Fascist Government shares in totum the position of our Italian brothers in recognizing the Pope of Rome, Paul VII, as the true leader of the Catholic Church. For the moment, the Fascist Government is not taking decisions concerning the supporters of the opposite faction within our borders, but the Great Council assures that he won't hesitate to unleash the OVRA against them if the situation grows more dangerous for the national security. The Duce expressed desire to meet Junio Borghese in Rome tomorrow and waits for a positive response. Considering the threatening nature of the ultimatum imposed on the Italian Republic, the Armed Force of Italica, the MVSN, received order to set the alert level to DEFCON 4.

"I hope for the sake of the Heretics (KingChris) that they do not harm Italy in any way. It would be detrimental to the lives of anyone you sent over. Are troops would love to dance with you.

Also, I can't really shake this but your version of the Catholic Church just loves to issue threats and attempt military action. It is disgusting and quite frankly, any men you send will die."

OOC: Seriously, the Catholic Church wouldn't be doing this. Your move.

Il Generale Junio Borghese sarà in grado di incontrare il Duce d'Italica non appena si sarà conclusa la visita del Primo Ministro della Repubblica di Transvaal, Annetje van Matteus. Prevediamo che la visita si concluda in pochi giorni. Nel frattempo, in base alle informazioni ottenute dall'OVRA, vi informiamo che la Chiesa di Gerusaleme non pone alcun tipo di minaccia alla sovranità dell'Italia Repubblicana e di Italica. L'Organizzazione per la Vigilanza e la Repressione dell'Antifascismo ha avuto successo nell'eradicare qualsiasi forma di propaganda antifascista relazionata alla questione.

General Junio Borghese will be able to meet the Duce of Italica as soon as the state visit by Prime Minister Annetje van Matteus of the Republic of Transvaal will be over. We expect the visit to be over in a few days. Meanwhile, according to the intelligence gathered by the OVRA, we inform you the Church of Jerusalem does not pose any kind of threat to the sovereignty of Republican Italy and Italica. The Organization for Vigilance and Repression o Antifascism successfully eradicated any form of anti-fascist propaganda related to the issue.
