We demand that you give up your claim to Israel and give it to someone who is willing to give Jews equal rights. Israel is filled with Jews and Muslims.

And no, I am not suggesting I own Israel. Its too Far away, I suggest it either be given to a Newcomer who wants to play as a head-start or to a moderate nation willing to accept all religions.

facepalm to Domination. I'll get back to Mathamalus in a sec.

i do not own Israel. the pope does.

and, your arrogant demand is noted.

This is disgusting. You change like colors like a serpent, and your wickedness is only matched by Lucifer. Kissing the feet of the Papal States will get you no where. Not only that, Japan was one of your buddies not a year ago!

Disgusting.

Cull, is it true or false the Jews in Israel are being persecuted.

If so, the Catholic emperor of Japan asks you to stop.

didn't the bible say love thy neighbor? this isn't love.

and, the bible also said forgive everyone no matter what their actions are.

 

[Cull]

There are no heathens in Papal lands. Only heathens who we pre-approve of, on diplomatic missions and the ilk, may. If you were a true Catholic, you were understand the reasoning behind this.

And please address the Council of Cardinals, not "Cull".

@<nation that can not be named> When you are equal to the serpent of yore and to the Devil himself, no.

Don't quote the Good Book at us, heretic. We know your vile ways; You have no power here.

 

[Arakhor]

Burgundy believes the proof of the pudding lies in the setting. If the Byzantine Emperor can implement these reforms and actually demonstrate that they will stick to them, as defined by Almighty God, then the Christian world might be more inclined to accept the Empire back into its fold.

 

[Mathalamus]

due to Christian nations not following the very book they claim to follow, we enter into isolationism. we withdraw all diplomats from all nations. we do not allow any nation to enter without permission, and we declare neutrality in all conflicts.

You fickle, serpent. How dare you persecute Muslims. I hope I can speak for all Islamic nations in condemning you. We open our borders to all Muslims fleeing your lands. Not only that, but you have no respect for religion in general. You use it purely as a political tool with no respect to you're idol.

 

[ilduce349]

Has the new turn started? like am I allowed to make claims now?

I agree with the above post, Byzantium should be punished for there cruel acts against humans (I am pretty sure that he mentioned that just to piss me off)

we closed the borders. the Muslims and jewish people also voted. the majority of them wanted to live in a nation that the pope likes, rather than hated.

turns out i did all that for nothing.

i may gradually reverse some of the changes.

Yes, it is true. Mathalamus hates religion.


Catholic Emperor Killed by Poison.

Suspects include Eastern Russian immigrants and supporters of the Papal States. 5 people have been accused but none proven guilty.

The Catholic Emperor's brother, A Confucian who strongly supports freedom f religion and HATES anyone who persecutes any religious faith, has entered office. As a result, and to make a statement, we hereby embargo Byzantium.

Why would we want to kill a stupid heathen a world away?

Dumb framing is dumb.

 

[Arakhor]

I'll be quite happy to order the death of a dumb heathen in Burgundy though.

You guys need to lay low. If you want to persecute heathens, at least don't be PUBLIC about it.

 

[Mathalamus]

Byzantium sticks a middle finger to Japan. and your embargo has no effect.

 

[Lord of Elves]

You guys need to lay low. If you want to persecute heathens, at least don't be PUBLIC about it.

And why? It's quite common to burn heathens at the stake in the name of Christian justice, and for public amusement. What year do you think it is?
