Bill: Religious Reformation
Details
Submitted by[?]: Mojmírovská Dynastia
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: September 2281
Description[?]:
| We, the followers of Jan Hekk, after the release of the 'Ten Conclusions of the Reformed Church' call upon the government of Deltársko to be secularised and the Vatikan to be reformed. It is in the interests of the Holy Church and the security of the teachings of Boh that Church and State are seperated. Furthermore we believe that dissenting sects should be free to preach and worship, free from interference from the government, from the aristocracy, and from the Vatikan. |
