To France:
Portugal will happily announce its neutrality in the Papal Crisis, but as a nation pre-occupied with silly misunderstandings in Central Africa cannot at the moment enter a military alliance with France. If greater France is willing to send military advisors in exchange for speical rights given to French traders or any other stated non-military agreement Portugal will happily accept such an agreement.

France and China has reached an agreement over France sending weapons and equipment to help modernize the Chinese Military and Economy to the Middle Industrial Age. In return, Emperor Chinsu has opened all ports to French trade, and has sworn to not interfere with French Wars.

 

[alex994]

OOC: Azale, I am sick of waiting a response from the rebels, just to let you know.

From Emperor Chinsu
To Poor Rebels
Wat are ur demands?

 

[Stormbringer]

To China:
Is it not easier to just deal with the rebels? we can offer assistance if needed

 

[Insane_Panda]

Russia:

France will teach you the military art of Riflery, and will supply your Cossacks divisions with new training on how to be a proper cavalry force, IF, you in return, give us improved trade rights for your Fur markets. (note:this would increase my culture/happiness whatever because french citizens get Fur for cheaper prices , whilst also increasing the Russian economical status because the french buy more fur, which is in high demand with the Parisian elite.) France will give you rifles and will send a military attache to train your men.

To King Francs II of Spain:
From Juan de Ghama of Portugal:

We have fought together during Reconqista, discovered and colonised the New World as Allies. Our countires are similar culturally an historically. We share the same religion.
I, the rightfull King of Portugal, Juan de Ghama offer Francis the II an alliance. Together we shall restore the pride of Iberians in the world!

 

[Stormbringer]

To France
Your offer is accepted, in return for training and the supply of rifles French traders will pay two times less fees for trading in Russia which will increase your trade and decrease the prices in France. In addition your leader is awarded the Suvorov Medal, for aiding the Russian army.

Protestant Reformation and The Disciples of Luther

The Protestants would like to call back their missionaries, but it seems that there are now Protestant Churches in Russia as the concessions made by france have Given Russia hundreds of thousands of Devout Lutherans and a large portion of the Hierarchy of the Lutheran Church. Because of this, the missionaries have not been recalled, however no more will be sent if Russia allows the free expression of their faith to continue.

Many Lutherans have a powerful call to Russia though, since they see it as an example of discipline that rivals other nations.

The protestants still find no reason that the Pope needs to dictate over the whole of Italy. The Bible says in many places that The governments in power are put there for a reason, and it is not one man's decision whether it is right or wrong... Even if you're the Pope.

To the World:

We are extremely sorrowed to see that the current Pope has abandoned the trappings of his office by recanting what other popes have done. The Petrian doctrine clearly states that all true popes would have the mind of Saint Peter, yet by faulting the actions of his predecessor, the current pope has rendered null and void his claim to the Papacy!

Gentlemen, the Pope himself has declared his power null and void with the following comment, "Am I Pope Constantine XI ? I think not"

Orders:

~Lutherans everywhere work for the good of their country at request of the Disciples of Luther.

~Lutherans are distributing copies of the Papal denial of the mind of Christ and thus the Link to God in Catholic parts of French territory. Protestant teachers are holding public lectures on Catholic dogma and greed as well.

~Additional Lutherans are not being sent to Russia, however ones with family there have not been denied the right to visit by the Protestant Church.

~The Lutherans fully support and even applaud the generosity of the French compromise of a small state from whence the pope can bark out his pointless decrees, and such encourage men to volunteer for several year positions in the armee so that the pope may be put in his place

 

[Stormbringer]

To the Lutherans:
We do not object to protestants living in Russia or visiting Russia, the only thing we object to is any mission the point of which is to convert Russians to Protestanism

 

[alex994]

To Russia
From China *secret*
Negiotiation first, if they refuse, troops will go and crush them. We do not require any aid or assistance. (OOC: Standard Early Qing Tactics, even though it's late Qing Dynasty now...)

 

[Metaliturtle]

To Russia:

We will not pose a decree to Lutherans calling for their withdrawal from evangalism for the Lord said in Mark 8:38 :: If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.

Since Lutheran believers are the only believers permitted and encouraged to study the Word of God on their own, they very may well come across that passage, and they certainly will come across Mark 16:15 in which Jesus says, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."

So if the Lutherans in Russia realize that God wants them to share their faith, they will.

If persecution of the Lutherans is seen, we will bring out the book of the martyrs of Christian Faith, and you will have an army of Evangelists.

NEWSFLASH: An Arch Bishop in Avignon has been appointed Pope by the French Archdiocese.

After startaling revalations that the Pope has resigned by denying that he is of St. Peter's mind, the Arch Diocese of France has appointed a new, TRUE pope in Avignon, Archbishop Phillipe II, former head of the archdiocese, is now Pope Phillipe IV, after gaining the support of most French Catholics and basically all French Arch Diocese members, Catholic bishops in several other countries such as austria and spain have voiced their support aswell... The Pope declares all previous excommunications null and void. Although not gaining much support from French protestants, a growing community within the nation, the Catholics of France have voiced their support and no longer trust the greedy Vatican 'pope' Xen Paul II.

What this could do to Vatican credibility.. we have yet to see..
