Details

Status[?]: passed
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: January 4392
Description[?]:
| To Our most Faithful Friends Currently, the prayer of our people is only regulated based upon what they say in public, and is punished lightly and irregularly. As a first step to mending the schism between the Holy Church and the Holy Empire, the Ecumenical Patriarch, in his infinite holy wisdom, would like to bring a more appropriate law to the table - that all who practice blasphemous religions are to be punished, whether they do it publicly or privately. For those who practice a blasphemy in private are dammed to hell just as much as those who do so in public. Faithful friends, we must save the souls of our children, and the Holy Emperor, as the representative of religion in our state, has the obvious duty of enforcing our most Holy of Religions. Blessings of the Prophets -Grand Vizier Tarion |

| Message | Faithful Friends, Our common religion is the greatest thing that unites us in our most Holy of Nations, and the Ecumenical Patriarch, in his infinite holy wisdom, has found it necessary to ensure our children and people are united by this common belief forevermore. Our children must be educated as to what unites us in school, and must not be corrupted by the influences of nonbelievers, at home or in public.
