| Date | 14:22:59, November 25, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the LTP Manifesto April 2491 |
| Message | We voted on a bill stating that there is an official state religion and membership is mandatory and that ministers of religion are selected by the state. But we the CDNC insisted that the Terran Catholic Chruch will not be abiding by this law, and the party who proposed previously the bill (IIPL) accepted. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Terran 'Catholic' Church is a heresy that we of the Luthori Tory Party will never bow to! I yield the floor. |
| Date | 18:39:40, November 25, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the LTP Manifesto April 2491 |
| Message | Sir, The true heresy is the Luthori Catholic Church, as well as the Catholic Church of Terra. We remind everybody that the Luthori Catholic Church was expelled by the ISF with a political decision, and we re-established the Terran Catholic Church, which now represents 30 percent of the total population: there is now an Archibishop, plus bishops and priests all over our Holy Empire. |

| Date | 21:59:02, November 25, 2007 CET | From | Individual Liberties Party | To | Debating the LTP Manifesto April 2491 |
| Message | This bill started well with articles 1 and 2. It even ended well with article 6. Its everything in between that I cannot agree with. |
| Date | 10:07:31, November 27, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the LTP Manifesto April 2491 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We remind the CDNC that the LCC submitted itself to the authority of the Vicar of Christ, the Bishop of Auroria over half a century ago! I yield the floor. |
