[Portusgalia]

D. José Carpa, is known for its connections with the Neo-Septembrist, and it is regarded has a "very progressist" Cardinal.
He defends that the mass should be celebrated in the national language of each country, so the attendents may understand the "word of God". He defends also that the impetus came from the large changes in the contemporary world, which, as "signs of the times", demanded to be deciphered in the light of the Word of God. In this way he desires to promote the expansion of the Catholic faith and a healthy renewal of the customs of the Christian people, and church discipline adapt to the conditions of our time, a fundamental orientation to demand a more participatory role for the Catholic faith in society, with attention to the social and economic problems.
Very unliked by the other portusgalian clerics, since must of the portusgalian church has connections to the Integralist side, and are Ultra-Tradicionalist. His greatest enemy among the Portusgalian church is the Archbishop of Braga, D. António de Almeida. The See of Braga, is the must oldest one in Portusgalia, and one of the oldest in the world. The Archbishops of Braga are very influent in the Catholic world, and have the title of "Archbishop Primate of the Gauls", wich means "The first See among the Gauls". The Patriarchate of Lisbon is more recent, and dates back to the 18th century, to the reign of D. João 5th. Since then, the Patriarchs of Lisbon and the Arcbishops of Braga live in rivalry.

 

[Holy Frankish Empire]

Cardinal Joseph Bertola was not known well in Nicosia until recently. He is young for a cardinal, 51, but enjoys a fair number of experiences.

Bertola has served as both a university professor and university dean, stressing the values of the Ignatian paradigm. On faith issues, Bertola is rather conservative. While he promotes masses being conducted in both the traditional method and in other languages, Bertola maintains major masses such as Easter or Christmas masses being conducted in the traditional method. Bertola's goals are to ensure the growth of the Catholic faith through both education and charitable works. Bertola enjoys photography and cartography as personal hobbies. While a university professor, Bertola taught church history, history of empires, and religion in public policy.

 

[Rheinbund]

Cardinal Rudolph Strelecki is the Archbishop of Weissenfels, the metropolitan of the Clerical Province of Southern Eiffelland and the Primate of Eiffelland. In that function, he has a crucial role in Eiffelland, because the Eiffellandian Kings are crowned by the Archbishop of Weissenfels. The last time that that happened was in 1950, when Cardinal Strelecki crowned the current King of Eiffelland.
Strelecki was born in a village near the Eiffellandian city Aachen in 1886. He is the greatgrandson of immigrants from Swiecziema, a country currently part of the Mezhist Union. His father was the village physician. Cardinal Strelecki absolved the Städtliches Gymnasium in Aachen, he went to the seminary in the same city. His Episcopal Consecration took place in 1936, when he became the Bishop of Marburg. In 1946, he became the Archbishop of Weissenfels.
Cardinal Strelecki is an intellectual. He advocates that mass should be celebrated in the local language, but he also wants to preserve all Catholic traditions as much as possible. Although being a conservative, he places shepherdship above dogma. He is popular in Eiffelland, and he is a leading factor in the Eiffellandian Catholic charity organisations. He considers it a moral duty of the Church to be active in charity, and in reaching new believers.

 

[Polesia]

His Eminence Deodato Álvarez Martínez S.J., Cardinal-Archbishop Emeritus of Punto Negro (Puántenuá), is a controversial figure in Cathiopian society and politics. Originally a Jesuit missionary, and of Frescanian descent, the Cardinal is typical of the senior leadership of the Tiburan Catholic Church in Cathiopia, and is dismissive of calls to make the Church hierarchy more representative. As an arch-traditionalist and conservative, the Cardinal is an outspoken critic of many of the proposed reforms suggested by more progressive elements Cardinals. However, despite his strident opinions, he is well respected by his peers for his contributions to theology and Christian philosophy more generally.

His Eminence Mose Ndimansa Buseki a Kafwandani, Major-Archbishop of Mfongo, Head of the Butatu Church, has no intention to be Pope, having to attend to his own flock in Cathiopia. His main objectives in the Conclave are to secure continuing support for the Butatu Church, and encourage reform of the Tiburan Catholic Church to be more accepting.

​

Boudewijn de Wever was born in Aalst, village belonging to the Free City of Garenmarkt, in 1895. Having enrolled in the Sint-Kruis Seminar at a young age he quickly established himself as a leading theologian in the FCL, having won his Ph.D in Theology from the Catholic University of Gent, on the 'Conceptual Nature of the Mystery of Faith'. As such, while conducting his regular priestly activities, he is also a leading academic, reading relentlessly in order to amaze himself more with the mystery of faith and God. He was elevated to Bishop of Eekhoutpoort, becoming the de facto head of the Flemish Catholic Church in 1934 and finally appointed Cardinal-Archbishop of Garenmarkt in 1949, becoming Primate of All the Catholic Churches of the FCL, since the hierarchies are divided across linguistic lines. Being Primate he has authority over the Flemish, the Walmarkian, the Norssexer and the Bogan Catholic Churches. He is a moderate, and, despite being conservative in many moral issues (homosexuality is a deadly sin, no openness concerning divorce), he is liberal in what concerns ecumenism. The Cardinal has said that his own experience as a Catholic priest in a State where half of the inhabitants were Protestants, a quarter Catholics and a quarter Pagans, made him understand the importance of ecumenical dialogue and the exclusion of the notion that salvation can be attained through the Church alone, giving greater weigh to good deeds. He is also a liberal in what concerns aesthetics, once again molded by his experience visiting Protestant churches, saying that the opulence of some Catholic churches sometimes shocked him, considering the poor and the hungry wandering through this world. He believes in a simplified and more open form of mass.

 

[Central Centralia]

Cardinal Sizan Werter, Archdiocese of Golarsen: Biography

Cardinal Sizan Werter was born in 1893 to relatively poor parents, and struggled to stay in school. He was forced to drop out in the seventh grade but understood that his parents could no longer afford for his education. He helped his parents with their local shoe store for around 4 years, and his life changing experience came when the Pope at that time visited Central Centralia for the first time in 1909. The words of the Pope inspired Werter to join the priesthood and he soon was ordained a priest at age 23. During his time as priest he was known for decentralizing the church and rather going out to the poor because he knew what it was like to be in their shoes. He spent hours talking with them and having conversations with them and the homeless. In 1919 he was made the Bishop of Golarsen, where he further continued his work on the poor and making the church available for everybody. Every day for lunch, he would go out to the homeless on the street and sat down and have lunch with them. If it was raining, then he would invite them into his office where they would share stories and thoughts. During the Civil War of 1927 he largely supported the movement and helped spread the movement through his words and actions. In 1930 during the revolution, he was appointed as Cardinal. As cardinal he worked for equal treatment of the poor and of all people, regardless of race or class. Werter was the driving force in both modernizing and simplifying the church, and he was known for his intolerance for corrupt and lavish priests who would build luxurious homes for themselves. During 1930 through 1937 he was forced to excommunicate 30 priests, which appealed to many because it dissolved corruption for the most part in the church. After the revolution he became a relatively liberal Cardinal and encouraged everyone to aid the poor where he organized massive food drives and held talks with the President so that homes could be built for the homeless. He also believes that God is a tolerant God and will allow anyone in his Kingdom regardless of religion, as long as they are morally in check. He has helped thousands across Central Centralia join the Catholic Church. He says that if he is elected Pope, the first thing he will do is hold a mass for the homeless in the Holy See. Rather than 'encouraging' people to do this or that, he will personally live a life of humility and will go out to the homeless on a daily basis and continue his famous lunches, just as he has been doing. He does not supoport conservatism and regards it as too oppressive and too focused on providing the best material possessions for one self. He calls for a simple life and above all, a church for the homeless and the poor.
