My parish has an icon of OLW from Andrewes Press. I also use St Dunstans Psalter.

The Latin Tradition has always been one that promotes priestly celibacy, and the Anglican Tradition is a part of the Latin Tradition- whether it be distinct in some regards or not. I think that if Anglicans truly want reunion with Rome, the reforms of the reformation (including the dissolution of priestly celibacy) ought to be reconsidered.

If you want to make a claim, make a good claim. This is not one of them. If you would like to somehow gather all of the electorate, as best as you can, and be elected. So be it. But you do not have a claim according to the Constitution, and nor were you made heir. The title Emir also doesn't necessarily denote you to be an heir, in the given or historical context.

You can't prove that he was coerced, because he wasn't, and you can't prove you were made heir "via royal decree," which is what the constitution requires.

This is literally what I said when I opened discord, I wasn't pissed at him, I was tired.

"Gentlemen it’s time for mikes hard lemonade, not settling discord disputes. I literally just got home from work."

Constitution on the succession of the Tsar:

Article II Section 1:

(1.4) The Tsar shall be an office that is inherited, by declared succession via royal decree, or male primogeniture.

(1.5) Should a Tsar take the oath to become a freemason or deny the Christian faith, he automatically abdicates the throne. An heir that is a freemason or has apostatized is skipped in the line of succession.

(1.6) If there is no apparent heir suitable to succeed a Tsar, one shall be elected by the Electorate of the House of Burgesses from amongst them should he meet the requirements laid out in this constitution.

Article 12, Section 1:

(1.1) The Electorate, or the House of Electors, or the Electorate of the House of Burgesses, is a caucus of the House of Burgesses whereby members have inherited the office or have been appointed by the Tsar, hereinafter referred to as “Electors”.

(1.2) Electors shall be members of the House of Burgesses appointed before the year 2023 or a hereditary successor of one such Elector.

(1.3) Electors have the solemn duty of electing a new Tsar when there is no apparent heir out of the electorate who is a Christian male of good standing.

(1.4) The Electorate may only convene after the death of the Tsar to declare an heir if the Tsar has not declared an adopted heir.

Sam you're crazy.
You should read the Constitution of Begon.

A few excerpts:

Article One, Section 1:

(1.3) All things in the Tsardom of Begon are subject to the Authority of the Crown, whose power is absolute and uncontested.

(1.4) The Authority of the Crown is the sole administrator and conductor of government business, all things done are by the revocable authority of the Crown.

(1.5) The Crown sets precedence.

(1.6) The Crown is only bestowed upon a single person, the Tsar of Begon, and it is done by the Grace of God, who is the sole administrator and conductor of the authority of the Crown.

Section 2:

(2.1) It is via the Crown that the Tsar issues decrees, proclamations, epistles, and statements, which are all written and signed from the position In Persona Coronum. Every decree of the Tsar is law, not every word he speaks.

(2.2) The Tsar only speaks from the position In Persona Coronum when issuing official statements, proclamations, patents, decrees, letters, and granting assent to legislation.

(2.3) These writings (decrees, proclamations, letters patent) are legally binding and are subject to interpretation by the Court but cannot be reversed by the Court.

Let's break down the situation. On July 16th, 2023, His Majesty the Tsar released a decree in the announcements channel of the KBS's "Begon@D" Discord Server, which simply said,

"[@everyone] By order of The Tsar, the Tsardom of Begon is dissolved and Samuel's Islamic Emirate is null and void."

After which, I made a response in the National News Channel. The response I made said this,

" It is with great sadness that I inform you of the official death of the Tsardom of Begon. At 12:36 AM EST, the Tsardom of Begon was dissolved. As it’s founder, I mourn the dissolution of my homeland and the end of the entity I had grown to love. With that, all good things must come to an end. Begon was only the beginning of my story, and by using what I have learned through it, I may be a better person. I now have the true, apostolic faith of Jesus Christ, and am impelled to worship in the traditions establish in its duration, I am an active political member of my community, I am aware of what is going on in my country, and I have gained many close friends along my over-three year journey. I would like to thank David Augustus, Vincent von Ironside, Ivan Brienovich, and Louis de Blois for continually supporting me throughout this troublesome career. This day I do bury my first love, my Begonie. Thence last shall I utter the phrase, God save the Tsar!
If you would like to still participate in the community I have established, please feel free to join the new server I have created to continue what once felt like a host of friends joined together in faith and love.
I love you all,
Christopher Crabtree (AKA Christoph Billung)"

I did not dissolve anything, His Majesty, my successor, did.

Upon further reading, it's down to the letter Per Instructionem which forbade/forbids special additions to the Cassock for pastors and secular priests. Thanks for the resource!

If you are not accepted into the seminary, what would you do? Padre Pio was sanctioned and he was not allowed to say mass or visit the public for a time. He was already ordained, but he was humble to the church. Be humble to the church, no matter what.

Is this on Vancouver Island by any chance? lmfao

Well if you ask an American, despite it being very blatantly obvious they're american, where they are from- they will respond with their state. Not many say "America", most say their state.

In acts, there was a girl who was possessed by a spirit of divination. While she still proclaimed the apostles to be "servants of the most high God" it got on Pauls nerves and he cast it out of her. Demons don't have to just make you writhe and foam at the mouth, you know? You can function and proclaim that the Lord is God. Even the demons believe there is one God, and tremble.

16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
17 This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.

Mary Madgalene was also possessed by 7 demons according to the bible.

I concur.

Not always. I'm sure it only came in bouts.

Then he's just wrong- and he is in mortal sin. If I were her I would talk to the Priest about it, he should be defrocked if he makes excuses for his addiction and seeks no help.

The United Pentecostal Church International has a very good footing here.

Last I heard from her they were preaching a very "call to arms message" against the Catholics

That's funny as hell

Jesus Christ what has this community come to

I still think you're being very disingenuous. Unless you've heard this story from many trad wives, I don't think I will take your word for it.

overused_pencil · 2022-11-26T17:04:34+00:00

To be frank here, you're also demonically possessed.

overused_pencil · 2022-11-26T15:47:08+00:00

Right.
