Pope O'Reilly I

Pope O'Reilly I (formerly Charles III) is an influential politician in the modern era of church politics. Prior to becoming the Pope he served as Archbishop under shortlived Ray II and Kaila I papacies. Following those turbulent papacies O'Reilly returned the church to a sense of normalcy and lead with a stable hand. He is most known for being Pope during the passage of Article XVIII of the Constitution as well as ending the Sixth Crusade (Against The Russian Government). He is also notable for his discovery of the Damon King and his close ally Joey "Damon King" Oldies.

### First Term as Archbishop

O'Reilly was elected Archbishop as the running mate of Pope Ray II in a suprise victory. Immediately O'Reilly became a divisive figure in church politics originally going under the moniker of Charles III before adopting the name O'Reilly I due to his constant allegations against then Councilor Kat I. O'Reilly claimed the Council was in collusion with the Damon. Unsubstantiated claims would be thrown between the two during the two week papacy of Ray II. After Kat I made the accusation and gave it to the Superior Court of the Holy Church Of Joe Biden that O'Reilly may be a Damonist due to his affinity toward Bill O'Reilly, a known Damonist collaborator, O'Reilly and Kat would make amends. Kat would later drop the accusation. After Jackson I brought to the court that Ray II was a damonist due to their approval of Pope Francis as a god O'Reilly stood in support of the Pope but after the recall succeded he came out against the now former Pope.

### First Term as Pope

O'Reilly I's first term as Pope was short due to him serving as the Acting Pope until a Special Election could be held to elect a new Pope of Bidenism. Following Ray's removal he would state that if elected Pope he was "stop the spin," love Joe Biden, and hate Matt Damon. During his short term as acting Pope he would approve the deificaiton of eight gods. In the following February 17, 2023 Papal Special Election O'Reilly would run but he failed to capture mass appeal coming in last with 5.9%. Kaila I who originally ran against Ray II was elected Pope leading to many turning against Jackson I who saw this whole affair as the establishment being unable to accept the will of the people.

### Second Term as Archbishop

Due to this abrupt shift in public opinion O'Reilly was seen as the only legitimate member of the church executive. This image was futher improve due to him siding with Miles I following the Zelda Affair. Kaila I sided with Jackson I who along with making questionable statements about the relationship between to fictional minors derided the sexualities of members of the LGBTQ+ community. The Zelda Affair would lead to the expulsion of Pope Kaila and Jackson I which caused much controversy within the church. O'Reilly during this period would wisely stay mainly silent in official channels and thus be seen as the only major candidate without controversial "baggage" at the time. O'Reilly would thus make his second run for the Papacy easily winning the February 27, 2023 Papal Special Election.

### Second Term as Pope

Following his landslide victory in the February 27, 2023 Papal Special Election O'Reilly's first action was to appoint Miles I in the now vacant Archbishop position. As Pope O'Reilly would maintain some distance not making as many inflammitory statements allegations. Despite this he still would make allegations making claims such as Seth Meyers being a Damonist, for interviewing Matt Damon on his show, and that 7.9 billion US dollars being stolen from the Bidenist treasury despite the treasury consisting of only one dollar. However, his most well know allegation, or more accurately revelation, was the existance of the Damon King. The exact identity of the Damon King is still unknown however, one of his most loyal followers Joey "Damon King" Oldies was uncovered by the Pope. As Pope, O'Reilly fought valiantly against the undue influences of the Damon King and Joey. The only real controversy the would arise out of the O'Reilly Papacy would be the O'Reilly Bias Scandal and the following Council Trial of Pope O'Reilly I vs. Councilor St. Tourmaline I. Councilor Tourmaline I would accuse the Pope of having a specific bias against them and would bring the accusation to a Council Trial. Council Trials had no real power or way of enacting punishment besides sending its reccomendations to the Superior Court of the Holy Church Of Joe Biden so the trial was seen as little more than a vanity project by Councilor Tourmaline. To the suprise of many the Council voted to convict the Pope after he made several statements against Councilor Tourmaline during the trial. After the trial the Council sent its case to the Superior Court and as expected nothing came of it. The trial was an embarrassing moment for the Council and now seen as a mistake by Tourmaline. The trial had little to no effect on O'Reilly's reputation or the popularity of his Papacy. During the lead up to the 2023 July General Elections O'Reilly would make a deal with Archbishop Miles I to be his Archbishop and thus would not run for reelection.
