St. Pius I

Pope Pius I's Official Portrait

**Pontiff Pius I** (Latin: *Sanctum Pius I )* born *Marcus Romulus* was the 1st Pontiff of the Discordian Catholic Church, otherwise known as the Discordic Church. He was the first Pontiff to call a Discordian Council which is a meeting of high clergymen to decide on reforms, laws and etc. He called the 1st Discordian Council to set up the foundation of the Church of Discord and the 2nd Discordian Council to set up the laws, ideology and stances of the Church of Discord. He retired on January 17, 2022

## Early Life

Pius was born into a noble family in Rome, his father was the King of Rome and his brothers would later be important politicians in Fredonia. He spent most of his childhood time studying about religion and became a vocal supporter of the reunion of the two eastern and western churches and end the schism.

## Education

He studied in St. Peter's Elementary School in Rome and went to Fredonia to attend high school and college where he learnt about Theology. He became a expert theologist and was hailed by Pope Leo XIII as a potential Pope.

## End of the Papacy

When Pope Clement VIII was ousted from power by the Roman Empire, a lot of the clergy including Romulus lost their jobs, he decided to form a new church after the end of the old one. Forming a new Catholic Church was long awaited by Catholics all across Discord and he was seen as hope for it, problem was he was a vocal supporter in ending schism and he would possibly put the title ''Bishop of Rome'' to just a clergy title and not the head of the religion.

## 1st Discordian Council

On September 13, 2021, he decided to call 3 of his relatives and descendants of the now collapsed Kingdom of Rome, they decided to form a new Catholic Church for Discord which became big news to Catholic Nations. He was selected the new head and decided on the structure of the new Religion:

They divided the ranks into 3 categories, the first one was the clergy, 2nd was the special ranks and the 3rd we're the ordinary but special faithful believers.

## Self-canonization

St. Pius I became a self-canonized Saint. Although he was declared saint alongside St. Cinzus by the 1st Discordian Council, the Council was only to decide the foundations of the new Church which will be the Discordian Catholic Church not canonizing a Saint, thus it was deemed self-canonization.

## Relations

His Relations with other secular server leaders have been running smooth especially with the mostly predominant Catholic servers such as the Holy Roman Empire, the Saxon Empire and the Union of Corporate Capitalist States.

He though has made it clear that he will cut off ties with the Roman Empire which invaded the Roman Kingdom, his former home.

## Excommunication of Furries and the 1st Discordian Crusades

Although entirely not favored, Pius decided to declare an excommunication of furries, satanics, and violators of the Discord Terms of Service, he required all servers to ban them with the exception of the ironic and pretending ones that pretend to be furries and satanics and the ones who we're framed of violating the Terms of Service of Discord. He established 3 main Crusader groups;

- The Outremer led by the Camerlengo at the time, Cardinal Pelagius Godfrey

- The Inquisitors led by Grandmaster Simmons

- The Missionaries led by the Papal Nuncio at the time, Cardinal Fabius Decimus Publicola

He tasked all of them to try and convert or stop the expansion of the furry ideology and satanic religion. The Inquisitor group has done much more so far and became the main one and much favored one due to its size larger than the other 2.

## Recognition

His reign also marked a vast establishment of influence for the Papacy, one of which is being recognized by the Republic of Discord and The Authority, who are very influential and powerful nations in the Mock Government Community, he made a name for the Papacy and his reign was marked as the Great Influence.

## Discordian Councils

As you may know he convoked the 1st Discordian Council, it was also the case for the 2nd Discordian Council in which defined a lot of things the Papacy standed for, supported or condemned, and enforced and mandated.

## End of Reign

He retired from the Seat of St. Peter on January 17, 2022 while giving his final Mass. Many gave their respects to the outgoing Pope.

## Life outside the Papacy and Controversy

Jungkook became Pope Emeritus on January 17, 2022, since then he started a life of rest and calm. His retirement was based on resting and chilling for most of his retirement. He decided to change his name to Jungkook and became insane, which angered many people. He currently resides in the papal asylum for proper care.
