[Ansteorra-announce] Battle of Three Kings

[Galen]

Unto the puissant and faithful folk of the Kingdom of Ansteorra,
Come blessings and greetings from Gregory XII, Servant of the Servants
of God, Bishop of Rome, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church,

I call on you to rally to Mother Church, and to the defense of True
Faith.  For many years God's Church has borne the burden of schism, as
no fewer than two pretenders to the Chair of Peter, supported by
disloyal and false Cardinals and Bishops, and under the patronage of
warring Princes, has maintained a most harmful rift in Christianity,
which serves to obscure the truth of the Church's teaching and interfere
in the relationship of God with his people.

Some say there are three Popes, but that is blasphemy, there can only be
one; two are false anti-popes.  Anyone may observe the history and know
that I am the only Bishop of Rome, elected by the rightful College of
Cardinals after the death of my predecessors.  The false ones were each
elected from among the numbers of renegade Cardinals, unworthy of their
birettas, while the true Pontiff still lived.  I am the true successor
of St. Peter, as any who study how the present deplorable situation will
readily see.  It is not for my own fleeting glory, but for the
protection of the Holy Church, and in fulfillment of my charge as a
Bishop to teach the divine truth, that I make this argument.

His Excellency, Galen, Baron of Elfsea, a loyal servant of God and His
Church, gathers the forces who will fight for the unity of the Universal
Church.  They will meet at the Shire of Rosenfeld on November 9th, and
the next day engage in glorious battle our enemies.  Those who wield
weapons, as well as those whose skill at arts or service may assist, are
called to this cause.  Those who would respond are asked to send word to
Sir Galen, that he may know our strength before the battle.

I will bestow my apostolic blessing on all rally to the standard.

Pope Gregory XII, Bishop of Rome
