Details
Submitted by[?]: Commonwealth Workers Army
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 2151
Description[?]:
| This is a proposal based around Sacred Order principles, that calls for a new era in the political, physical and SPIRITUAL sovereignty of the Likatonian People. 1) The Laws of the Sacred Order are DIVINE, and thus, perfect. The Ministers of the Sacred Order are INSPIRED, and thus, infallible. Thus - there is no possibility of any court judgement being 'wrong', under Sacred Order Law... thus, 'appeals' are redundant. 2) The Truth of the Sacred Order is SELF-EVIDENT, and thus, must not be contested. The prophets of other religions are APOSTOLIC, and thus must not be allowed to pollute the spiritual sanctity of the Likatonian people. Thus - only faiths considered sympathetic to the Sacred Order may be granted evangelical access to Likatonian citizens. Currently, this only allows "Sacred Order" and "Tuesday Is Coming" Ministers. 3) The sanctity of Likatonian soil is ENSURED by Termani's Tears, and thus, Likatonia is Pure. The sanctity of foreign soil is FALSE, and thus, there is a risk of spiritual contamination to the casual traveller. Thus - special Permits are required for the faithful, before they are considered eligible for cross-border travel, in order to safeguard the spiritual security of the citizenry. 4) The Head of State is TOUCHED, by the divine caress of Termani, and thus, cannot be in error while inspired. The citizenry are UNWORTHY of the ministrations of Termani, in their MORTAL lives, and thus, are prey to the weakness of mortal flesh. Thus - the local Administrators of Sacred Law, Sacred Justices, and Sacred Example, MUST be appointed by the incorruptible, and goddess-blessed, Head of State. 5) The Government of Likatonia, is INSPIRED by the Will of Termani, and thus, cannot act against that which is best for Likatonian sanctity. The Head of Government is BELOVED of Termani, and thus, acts as a Conduit of Her Holy Will. Thus - the Ministers of the Sacred Order MUST be appointed by the Head of Government, as temporal 'lord' of Sacred Order influence. 6) The Will of Termani is OMNIPOTENT, and thus, CAN NOT be contested. The Grace of Termani is OMNIPRESENT, and thus, must be universal, where-so-ever the Shadow of the Sacred Order falls. Thus, the Will of Termani must be carried out, universally. The Sacred Order MUST be observed by ALL Likatonians. 7) The spiritual purity of the Sacred Order is DIVINE, and thus, perfect. The spiritual purity of other faiths is HERETICAL, and thus, devious and seductive. Thus - citizens from other nations may not be granted 'easy' access to Likatonian citizens, until it has been verified that they are NOT intent on perverting the True Faith. |
