In Constantinople, the dying Pope, Pius XIII, lay there on his bed as the sun began to rise. With the time hitting 7:43AM, Pope Pius XIII died.

The Papacy had been in Constantinople ever since the Vatican was destroyed and the Church's leaders were expelled from Italy, which had recently become communist and atheist.

Two days later, the Cardinals elected the new Pope; Giuseppe Napolitano. He chose the name Pope Urban IX.

His new Coat of Arms was then soon adopted as he was proclaimed Pope.

((OOC: You should've named him Pope Bob. Just because.))

OOC: Make him a skinhead neo-nazi, for the irony.

OOC: wtf, lol

OOC: Make him a skinhead neo-nazi, for the irony.

OOC: We already have one of those (well, minus the neo-part), we don't need another.

OOC: Yeah, but a pope than runs around screaming "Heil Hitler" and genociding people would make a great RP.

Jason denver looked distainfully at the report his underling had just handed him, it looked suspiciously like it might lead to somethign involving work and one simply did not join the Ministry of Religious and Cultural affiars expecting to actually do any of the dreaded W word. But on closer inspection it became a lot more freindly.
"Oh another pope, just what the world needs, how many is that now Fredricks?" He querried.

"At current count we have 57 active "popes" on record although apparently 2 of those are chimpanzies, one is a Squirrel, 6 are cats and at least one is defiantly a cunningly hidden killer robot from the future" replied the underling.

"Ah well, very good. Right get this new "pope" entered in the register, some of the local papists might be interested. when do, be a good chap and pass a note to the home office i am sure they would appreiciate a heads up incase this stirs anything up."

OOC: Yeah, but a pope than runs around screaming "Heil Hitler" and genociding people would make a great RP.

/me points you to Doom, leaves.

OOC: We already have one of those (well, minus the neo-part), we don't need another.

OOC: speaking of Nazis...

IC:

The Fuhrer stood at the large window overlooking Skgorria City, bathed in pale sunlight as the sunlight rose. A low layer of cloud gave the city a mystical feel and an illusion of stillness and calm. This calm was interrupted by a knock at his door, a single loud knock. The Fuhrer instensely disliked repeated knockings, it irritated him no end.
"Enter," he called, without bothering to turn around. A CFSS officer walked in and saluted.
"Mein Fuhrer, the Constantinople Papacy has a new leader. Giuseppe Napolitano will become Pope Urban IX," he reported.
"And the reaction of our Catholic community?"
"Our Catholic informants report little dissatisfaction with this election," reported the officer. "The CFSS sees no need to take any internal action on this."
"Excellent," smiled the Fuhrer as he turned around. "Send a generic congratulations to His Holiness, that should do."

Official Communique From The Skgorrian Government

Pope Urban IX, our fondest congratulations to you. May God guide you through these turbulent times.
