====== Konradian Catholic Apostolic Church ======

The Konradian Church, often referred to as the Konradian Catholic Apostolic Church, is the official church of Konradia (the city, not to be mistaken with the [[nations:konradia|Holy State of Konradia]]). The Pope of the Church, who is the bishop of Konradia (and whose titles also include Vicar of Jesus Christ and Successor of St. K) is the chief pastor of the church.

===== History =====

The Konradian religion is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who lived and preached in the 1st century AD in the province of Judea of the Roman Empire. Konradian theology teaches that the contemporary Konradian Church is the continuation of this early Konradian community established by Jesus.
Christ designates Konrad Georg Ethiènne Scorciapino as the "rock" upon which Christ's church will be built. After that, Konrad and his wife, Supertata, goes to Konradia where they would found the Church.

The followers of the church are well-know by greeting each other saying: //"Sei escrever em português adequadamente, inclusive utilizando acentuação."//, a phrase used by St. K to know who the christians were in the times of persecution.

==== Korone Koshervilhese ====

Korone Koshervilhese, sometimes called Korone of Koshervilha, or simply Korone, was a woman who, according to the four canonical gospels, traveled with Jesus as one of his followers and was a witness to his crucifixion and its aftermath. Jesus first met her when she was a slave of the cultists of Moloch. In this encounter, Jesus performed a miracle where he blinded Moloch's followers for a brief moment and escaped with her.

This led to mass persecution of the followers of the new Church by the cultists. To this day, there's no record of how many Christians were killed by Moloch Cultist, but only after the Crusades the persecution would cease.

===== Creed =====

The core beliefs of Konradianism are found in the Nicene Creed. The Konradian Church teaches that it is the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles, and that the pope is the successor to Saint K, upon whom primacy was conferred by Jesus Christ.

===== Organization =====

The Konradian Church follows an episcopal polity, led by bishops who have received the sacrament of Holy Orders who are given formal jurisdictions of governance within the church. There are three levels of clergy, the episcopate, composed of bishops who hold jurisdiction over a geographic area called a diocese or eparchy; the presbyterate, composed of priests ordained by bishops and who work in local dioceses or religious orders; and the diaconate, composed of deacons who assist bishops and priests in a variety of ministerial roles. Ultimately leading the entire Konradian Church is the Bishop of Konradia, commonly called the pope, whose jurisdiction is called the Holy See.

==== Canon Law ====

Canon law is the system of laws and legal principles made and enforced by the hierarchical authorities of the Konradian Church to regulate its external organisation and government and to order and direct the activities of Konradians toward the mission of the church. 
Positive ecclesiastical laws, based directly or indirectly upon immutable divine law or natural law, derive formal authority in the case of universal laws from promulgation by the supreme legislator—the Supreme Pontiff—who possesses the totality of legislative, executive and judicial power in his person, while particular laws derive formal authority from promulgation by a legislator inferior to the supreme legislator, whether an ordinary or a delegated legislator. The actual subject material of the canons is not just doctrinal or moral in nature, but all-encompassing of the human condition.
Canon law concerns the Konradian Church's life and organisation and is distinct from civil law. In its own field it gives force to civil law only by specific enactment in matters.

The rules that differentiate the Konradian Church from the Eastern Churches are:
