The Enlightened Aroman Church, also known as the Aroman Church, is the largest Christian Church and largest religious denomination on Eurth, with over 400 million adherents spread across Europa and the rest of Eurth, although mainly located in Adaptus, Euandria, Sporsia, Tagmatium and surrounding nations. It operates as a communion of autocephalous churches, each governed by its bishops in local synods. As with the Catholic Church, there is no central authority, although unlike the Catholic Church's Diarchy, there has never been a truly defined relationship between the various churches. The Catholic Patriarch of Europatorion is recognised to be the primus inter pares ("first among equals") by all the bishops of the Church and as the representative and spiritual leader of all Enlightened Aroman Christians. However, the Patriarchs of Arome and Tzius claim a "joint first" position with that of Europatorion, as the former is the historic and traditional heart of Christianity on Eurth and the latter as the oldest of the ancient Heptarchic Patriarchates in the hands of the Aroman Church. Although not the oldest Christian denomination on Eurth, the Englightened Aroman Church is certainly not the youngest, and it has played a very prominent role in the history and culture of Europa, especially the Occident, Amutia and Burania.
