The **Melonite Church** is a particular Church that claims full communion with the Catholic Church, it belongs to the Melonite Rite liturgical tradition.

### History

Melonite Catholicism appeared as part of the Melonite Movement within the pagan religion of Melonism after the scholar Saint Melonious claimed to have discovered the origins of the melon faith within the Judeo-Christian tradition, positing that these beliefs came from a third and previously lost table of commandments that God gave to Moses and that the Melonman of the Melonist religion was the exact same concept as the Christian Messiah, thus the Melonite Movement would adopt Christianity and seek communion with the Catholic Church, currently recognizing Pope Francis.

In the modern history of the server the Melonite Church has had an important role on the development of the world, with its foremost figures being the currently dissappeared, and presumably deceased, Monk\_of\_Dawnridge, founder of the Australite Order and Archbishop of Ottakring, and Porgsky, founder of the Holy Sovereign Workers' Crusader Order of Our Lady of Porgistan and Auxiliary Bishop, leader of Porgistan.

Citing theological disagreements regarding the Melonite liturgical and exegetical tradition, Sueco r would go on and declare his own Suecian Church as the true successor of Saint Peter. Bishop Porgsky firstly reacted with hostility by excommunicating Sueco but later would go on to seek reconciliation, which culminated with the failed Ecumenical Council of New Malvinas. The schism remains unresolved to this day, though dialogue between both Churches has progressed.

The most recent advancement within Melonite Catholicism has been the conversion of the Empire of Meridium to this faith following the proposal of Porgistan to join the Empire as a member state.

#### The 5 Lost Commandments

Key to the Melonite tradition are the 5 lost commandments uncovered by various scholars of the Melonite Movement, which are the following:

* Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's axolotls, which thy Lord hath giveth them.
* Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's axolotls, which thy Lord hath giveth them.
* Thou shalt praise the Puffer, thou shalt pray to the Puffer's altar each day!
* Thou shalt praise the Melon, for I thy God hath made it the holy fruit, thou shalt pray to the Melon's altar each day!
* Thou shalt not consume food besides Melons, for I thy God hath made it the holy fruit, which shalt cleanse thou of corruption.

The role of the Puffer and Melons on Liturgy is a hotly debated issue within Melonite theology.
