2nd Discordian Council

The 2nd Discordian Council (also abbreviated as ''Discordia II'') was a sequel to the 1st Discordian Council, it was convoked by St. Pius I as an effort to fix the inactivity problem while also defining the stances of the Papacy.

It lasted from October 31, 2021 to November 25, 2021.

The Council was the first Discordian Council to be held in a separate server and not on a Group Chat. The Concilium Oecumenicum server was used as the Council.

## Information

### Members

The members include Bishops, Archbishops, Cardinals and Latin Patriarchs, it was a optional council where the Pope actually did not force every high ranking cleric to join, in fact, only 80% of the high ranking clergy joined and the rest opted to not.

There is an estimated of 28 high ranking clerics that joined the council.

### Procedure

The Pope opened the gates of the Vatican on October 31 on an afternoon, after all clerics have settled down the doors we're locked. The Pope then gives topics to the clerics and after a debate, heated or calm, it will be put into a vote, often the options to vote is ''Condemn'' or ''Commend'' since most of the topics we're on political ideologies and stances on other religions, races and genders, there is also ''Tolerate'' or ''Condemn'' on matters the Pope thinks the Church rather should not get too involved.

### Order Maintenance

A debate is allowed to be heated but it will be dismissed if it gets too personal, insults get worse, and clerics start to burst out of rage and yell and curse or even physically harm other clerics. Clerics can also be put under Canonical trial during the Council if it has broken out of character and starts acting violently and overall being a so called ''a--hole''.
