Hankism

Hankism is a breakaway sect of Bidenism created by former Pope Vayda I after his defeat in the October 9, 2021 Papal Special Election. It is believed however, that the breakaway was planned weeks in advance. Though similar to the Bushitte Breakaway this breakaway is largely viewed as a failure and little changed in the church after it.

### Beliefs

The belief system of Hankism was largely a rejection of the National Fiction and stated that Biden's words were a "false prophecy." Hankists argued that inactivity in the church was caused mainly by faults in theology, Bidenists were sheep following the herder (HCJB government), and that Tom Hanks was the true overlord of the universe. Upon realizing Hanks as the one true god Hankists were supposed to become awakened and understand that everyone are one under Hanks.

### Impact

The impact of Hankism on the Holy Church of Joe Biden was minimal. The new Pope, Jackson I, refused to acknowledge the sect and few of the "Hankists" actually left the church when Vayda did. Hankism is more looked at as one last attempt by a failed Papal candidate to hold on to some semblance of power. On impact was it destroyed the political careers of some the supporters of Hankism. For example Hankists Councilor Taylor I and Councilor Ben II lost their Council reelection bids by landslides.
Billism

Billism is a faith sect of Bidenism founded around the teachings of Lord Bill. Billism for a time was considered heresy as it was felt it moved Bill Clinton to high in the Pantheon.

Once integrated Pope Charles also blamed Bill for the human race's lust and desire.

Generally, Progressive Conservatives favor some centralizing of power and support checks-and-balances for the government.

Papal Guard

Seal of the Office of Pope of Bidenism. The Guard was on paper a committee of the Pope of Bidenism.

## The Papal Guard

The Papal Guard was the military wing on the Office of the Pope Of Bidenism used to execute Crusade Law during the second through fifth Crusades. The Papal Guard came to infamy after it successfully removed Pope Joshua I on May 11, 2020 during the Joshua I Resignation Scandal. The organization of the Guard was fluid but in general it consisted of a Chief Papal Officer and a Vice Papal Officer.

## The First Papal Guard

The First Papal Guard was a moniker applied to the Order Of Followers Of Biden. The group would work to enforce Crusade Law during the Second through Fourth Crusades. The Order of Followers of Biden following its abolition was replaced by the Papal Guard.

## The Second Papal Guard

The Second Papal Guard was an official committee of the Office of the Pope Of Bidenism founded after the abolition of the Order of Followers of Biden. Despite being created in order to enforce Crusade Law a Crusade was never in effect during its exists. Thus the Second Papal Guard never had a chance to fufill its role. It was abolished sometime either during the reign of Pope Ethan I or in the second reign of Pope Joshua I.

## The Third Papal Guard

The Third Papal Guard was the strongest iteration of the Papal Guard and the first to be created officially as a body of the government through the passage of the old Statute 82. The Third iteration of the Guard was different to the previous in that it gave the Chief Papal Officer the authority to induct new members into the Papal Guard. This lead to the Guard growing without Papal supervious which allowed it to undermine Papal power and eventually act on this authority by overthrowing then Pope, Joshua I on May 11, 2020. This coup lead to the first and only military juta leading the church. The juta would soon after coming to power appoint then Archbishop Ethan I to the papacy. The Guard would continue to exist as a major player and kingmaker in church politics until the passage of Article XIII of the Constitution. Prior to this during the drafting of the Constitution an Article VIII was proposed the disarmed the church by abolishing the Church Military, the new Great Crusader Title, and banning Crusades as a tool. Chief Papal Officer Garret I refused to sign the Constitution with this Article and it was removed from the final draft that was signed October 29, 2020.

> Today is a heinous day. As today, the Right hand of Biden has been corrupted by foul, deceitful, and Evil forces. The Damon himself has entered into Pope Joshua I's mind, and compelled him to play his devilish games. So long as I am Papal Officer, Heresy will not go unpunished! No matter where!

### Chief God or Goddess

Joe Biden

Modern Revivalism was a movement supported by organizations like the Templar Party and the Bidenist Fervency Caucus both of which had been promoting old Bidenist religious ideas. Though no one advocated for a single god there were calls to bring back the High Priest of Lord Bush and perhaps having dual leadership of the church. The modern revivalist movement was founded by Benjamin I. Most adherents to the movement supported godhood for Ricardo Milos and were newer members of the church.

Banning Of Kenan Scandal

## The Banning Of Kenan Scandal

The Banning Of Kenan Scandal was a scandal in the Church that occurred on November 7, 2020. Incumbent Pope Jackson II banned Kenan, a member of an opposition political party and opposition candidate in the papal election, from the Church Discord server. This action sent shockwaves through the Church and was responded with outrage from most members of the Church. The ban was quickly reverted by Deviner Charles I but the damage had been done. Later when asked about the scandal Pope Jackson stated he, "did not know that Kenan was running against him" and that the ban was a joke.

Coronacrisis

## The Coronacrisis

The Coronacrisis was a Constitutional crisis within the church. The crisis began when then-Pope Charles I began to use authoritarian tactics to take more control over the church. After the February 15th Papal Emergency Election, Jackson's removal as Deviner, the successful referendum to remove the Council, the February 29th-March 1st Deviner Special Election in which Joshua I was elected, and March 1st-March 2nd Council Special Elections, Charles made an unlikely alliance with Garret I. Together they merged the Peoples Party and Death to Traitors Party together forming the new National Revival Party. They also were able to get the Council to pass statutes 82-85 commonly referred to as the Intolerable Acts. These statutes gave Charles and Garret almost absolute control of the church at the time. The Statutes let Charles call a crusade and reform the church military. Charles appointed Garret I the Chief Papal Guard. Around the same time, the first Coronavirus deaths were reported in the United States. In response to this Pope Charles I meet with Archbishop Ethan I and they decided to declare a Crusade against the Coronavirus. With the new Intolerable Acts and a Crusade, questions were being brought up whether Charles I's actions as Pope were truly justified. This and the failure of the Constitutionalist Party prior to the 2020 General Elections lead to a debate about whether the current system of government was working. The Coronacrisis would eventually culminate with the passage of the Constitution on October 29, 2020. This Constitution was authored by Charles I who stated that he "wanted to fix the issues that led him to take the actions he felt were necessary at the time given the circumstances."

Pope Jackson I

## Background

Jackson I Of Newtides is the founder of The Unity Party. He has served in many of the main roles in the Holy Church of Joe Biden. He can be described as Jacksonian.

### Early Days as a Councilor

Jackson joined the church during the Classic Era. He was appointed by Pope Charles I when he was the current reigning Pope. He did not do much during his first term in office as a councilor, and was a basic Halrean.

### First Term as Pope

Jackson I Of Newtides was voted in as pope on December 12th, 2017 after Pope Charles I was kicked out of office for war crimes. The first thing he did was appointing Pope Ethan I to a councilor position. Joshua I and Charles I were early supporters of Pope Jackson I but later decided he was not good enough to be in charge. Pope Jackson I was never able to do anything substantial as he was later kicked out of office on January 3, 2018 by the use of the Westbrook Decree formulated by Pope Charles I and Pope Garret I.

### Back into the Council

After the failure of Pope Jackson I's reign as pope, he was again appointed to the council, this time by Pope Joshua I, and decided to change his ways and do more to help out the church. He helped with the removal of Pope Joshua I, but he did not agree with appointing Pope Ethan I into office. Jackson believed that Ethan would not make a good Pope so voted against the majority in the council.

## A Brighter Future

### Running for Pope

Previously Pope Jackson I, the new minded Jackson I Of Newtides, formed the Party of Transparency, Openness, and Accountability. He ran for pope in the Emergency Election after the helping in the removal of Pope Ethan I with Pope Garret I and Pope Charles I. He was sure he was going to win, but little did he know the previous Pope Joshua I also ran in the election. Jackson and Joshua tied in the original election. Jackson was out of town during the re-election after the tie, and this may have led to him losing the vote to Pope Joshua I by a landslide.

### Legislative Work

After losing the election, Jackson decided to make use of his position in the council and begin to help make the church better for the people. He helped with the making, amending, and passing of many statutes including the ammendment of Statute #37, Statute #46, Statute #51. He also helped lead the creation of Statute #50, Statute #52, Statute #53, Statute #54, Statute #55, Statute #56, Statute #57, and Statute #58.

## Current Work

Bushitte Hysteria

## The Bushitte Hysteria

The Bushitte Hysteria was very similar to the Hysteria Damonia. Many of The Great Crusaders where accusing Bidenists of being secret Bushittes and even got one of the supposed Bushittes tried, Ray of Newtides. Despite him being found innocent the trial only fueled the flames of the hysteria and directly led to the Fourth Crusade.
Intolerable Acts

## The Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts were a series of Statutes passed after the Second Hysteria Damonia and during the Coronavirus pandemic that drastically increased the powers of the Pope, Archbishop, and the new position of Chief Papal Officer. These Statutes have since been amended but here they are in there original text:

### Statute 82

In the event of a crisis that threatens the church's stability and existence such as pestilence or foreign intervention, the Pope may declare a crusade against the crisis with approval from the Archbishop. This statute reinstates the Papal Guard as the official military of the Holy Church of Joe Biden. The Guard shall consist of a Chief Papal Officer appointed by the Pope, Papal Officers appointed by the Pope or Chief Papal Officer, and Papal Guardsmen who are recruited by Papal Officers to the guard. The Pope may remove and Papal Guard members.

### Statute 83

During a Crusade, the Pope and Chief Papal Officer or the Council may declare certain acts or beliefs heretical or illegal. This power may also be used to declare Crusades against disease.

### Statute 84

During a Crusade, the Pope, Archbishop, and Chief Papal Officer cannot be removed from office.

### Statute 85

During a Crusade, if the Pope, Archbishop, and Chief Papal Officer agree they can remove the Deviner of the House.
Peoples Party

## The People's Party

The People's Party (formerly Constitutionalist Party) was a political party in the Holy Church Of Joe Biden. It was founded by four of the members of the Gang Of Five after former Pope Jackson I resigned. The party's main goal originally was to create a constitution for the HCJB and replace the ineffective Statutes. After the Fourth Period Council elections, the Party went through a sort of identity crisis. Pope Charles I failed to get public support for his Constitution. Also, Pope Alexander I left the party, and Pope Joshua I unsurprisingly also left the party. In a meeting with the party Vice-Chair Archbishop Owen I Charles and Owen renamed the party to the People's Party in the hopes of courting the populist voters of the Progressive Party and Progressive Conservative Party of days past. The People's party failed to get that support and its popularity continued to dwindle up until the Coronacrisis when the party was dissolved and integrated into the National Revival Party.

## 2020 Papal Election Primaries

The Primaries for the 2020 Papal Elections in the People's Party were be held on December 20th. Pope Charles I won with 100% of the vote.

Second War Crimes Trial Against Charles I

The Second War Crimes Trial Against Charles I was called by Garret I for his actions during the First and Second Crusades. Garret argued that Charles abused his power and the he knew that the accusations of Catholic members of the Church plotting to enstate Pope Francis were completely false and that his use of a Crusade against Bidenist in the church itself that did not support the cult of personality built around him. During this trial several Great Crusaders came to Charles' defense but this ultimately did not help Charles' case instead the growing Hysteria Damonia lead to many Councilor's feeling that the removal of a Pope would be devestating at that time. Thus the Council voted to acquit Charles of any crimes.
