Ahranaian Catholic Church

he Ahranaian Catholic Church is the second most popular and second oldest Faith in the Federation of Ahrana established in 1492 by the first Supreme Pontiff, Francis of Peterburi. The Catholic Church split with the Ahranaian Orthodox Church due to Francis having disagreements on the Holy Sacraments and Services of the Orthodox Faith. The Catholic Church is in all technicality divided into two sects the Ahranaian Catholic Church and the Tatani Catholic Church both which are related to one another but both split from a United Church in 1548 due to disagreements of the Tatani Church leaders.

Beliefs

The Ahranaian Catholic Church believes in the One True God but calls the Lord of Heaven simply The Lord of all Creation. The Catholic faith and its followers adhere to the same principles as the Orthodox Faith but when it comes to the Holy Trinity of the Faith they take a different view. The Son of God was birthed by a simple Women an Earthly Women who were nothing special, but to the Catholics she is special and held in a high regard. The Catholic Faith sees the Mother of the Son of God as the Messenger of the Lord of all Creation and claim she is the Lord of All Creations true Prophet. Unlike the Orthodox Faith that claims that the Son of the One True Lord is the one and the only Prophet the Catholics believe otherwise.

Structure

The Ahranaian Catholic Church is structured similar to the Orthodox Faith but uses different names and leaves a few positions out of the usage in the Church. The Supreme Governor of the Faith is the Heir to the Imperial Throne of the Ahran Kingdom, Alexandria Mishia Chayka II, she is also the Head of the Church for the Orthodox Faith. The Supreme Governor is seen as the one the Lord of all Creation chose to speak through and lead the People of the land in his way. The Supreme Governor is part of all three major Faiths of the Federation and is held in high regards to all Churches.

The Supreme Pontiff is the one in charge of the Church and makes the executive decisions such as ordaining Priests, Missionaries, Clerics, Bishops, Cardinals, and the Clergy altogether. The Pontiff is elected by the Supreme Governor and nominated by the Higher ranking Members of the Catholic Church.

The Cardinals and Bishops are equally ranked in the Catholic Church and are the second highest position in the Catholic Church and they are the ones to Nominate the Supreme Pontiff for the Office of the Church. All Cardinals and Bishops are nominated by the Supreme Pontiff to head their Offices of the Districts of the Catholic Church which currently there are thirty Districts which thirty or so preside over.

Below them are the Priests, Missionaries and the Clerics that make the churches what it is today, as it stands the Church today is part of the society as much as the Orthodox Churches are. The three Sects work together to bring people together through the lower people of the Church hierarchy.
