Roman Catholicism

Roman Catholicism is the most practiced and widespread religion ingame on the current world of Mappercraft.

Its current Grand Master, Mak4Life, was named the successor by the previous Grand Master, Cambrian_ when he left the server after the Kirschite-Commonwealth War, who re-organised the religion of the Holy Aragan Church to become a direct, unofficial branch of the actual real life Catholic Church, because of the technical implications of claiming to be Pope despite not being elected by the Vatican.

His decree was thus:

"As the Pope of the Mappercraft Minecraft Server, as endorsed by the leaders of the Pan-American Union and Araga, I, Cambrian, announce these reforms to the Holy Aragan Catholic Church:

''1. As no members of the real-world clergy of the Roman Catholic Church are present on the server, the position of Pope within the server is only functionally official, and as such technically bestows on the "Pope" the position of Anti-Pope. As such, I abolish the position of Pope on the server and instead establish the position of Grand Master to lead the believers of the server. The Grand Master will now take orders directly from real life members of the Catholic Clergy, and look to the real life Pope, Francis I, for leadership.''

''2. As the name Aragan Catholic Church implies that it is a separate entity to the Roman Catholic Church, I, as Grand Master of the Church, reform this separate Church into an unofficial Religious Order of the Catholic Church, the vows of which will be defined at a later date. This Order will be known as the Order of the Catholic Church of Mappercraft.''

''3. The structure of the Church will transition to a new structure as a Religious Order, the specifics of which will be decided at a later date. However, this Order will serve the same original purpose as the old Aragan Catholic Church, that being the proliferation and preservation of Catholicism on the server." - Cambrian_''

Mak4Life, the current Grand Master, is "confused as to what I am supposed to do" and stated that he was "probably unfit for the job."
