OOC: Please read this thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=143420&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=) for details about what is happening.

IC:

The Foreign Embassies of The Opressive Church noticed late last night that contact with the actual Nation of TOC via Satellite, Phone, Telegraph, Radio or Internet ceased. For some unknown reason the Nation is simply out of conventional means of contact. The Nation's News Channel, Satellite Heaven International News Network, SHIN, went off air yesterday, their last report was live from TOC's Capitol Building reporting on the crisis of the TOC Government, which was in turmoil after the death of the Archbishop. Static caused the News Station to go off air last night just as some comotion was unfolding.

Several of The Opressive Church's Foreign Embassies and Consulates around the world have filed protests and complaints to the Governments of the country's they were stationed in. They are requesting these Governments to attempt to contact TOC themselves, or inquiry the Roanian Government about what may be happening since Roania has Military Access to TOC and garrisons over 1 million men there.

Presdidetn Jefferson was a devout parishioner and had attended seminary only dropping out a semester away from becoming a priest. He had a full plate with the war going on but ....

"Thank you Bishop Mcdonald."

The bishop left the room and he ordered his secretary to send a communique to the closest embassy lending his support and requesting that an embassy be opened in his nation as soon as possible.

In a statement from the Office of Apostolic Communications this afternoon, Cardinal Johannes Meisner relayed the Vatican's concern over the loss of communications from The Opressive Church.

"The Holy Father is hoping that the clergy of TOC are safe and unharmed, and plans to refer the unorthodox practices of Catholic Bishops in The Opressive Church to the Apostolic Tribunal for review."

"We hope that the situation can be resolved by the institution of a properly constituted, secular civil authority that will guarantee all citizens liberty of conscience and human rights."

The Cardinal took no questions.
