We echo the sentiments of House Linnuis. The Church makes demands of House Varosean to pay tithes? If you could only observe our ledgers and books prior to the unprovoked invasion of House Auxslvyus by the craven dogs found within. We had it within our power to repay everything we owed to the Church over the last two years, along with a generous contribution of 2,000 coin to the building of the Cathedral in Midlands. We cannot may, Your Holiness, because your so-called "Followers of Christ" have invaded our lands for no apparent reason. A pathetic, fat, Roman who simply oozes with debauchery and gluttony is given your favor -- yet the defenders of an Abbot and his flock in Cornwall recieve your scorn? You bless the Auxslyvus', who have yet to declare their alliegance to the Imperator, who may even be behind his kidnapping, and this position is supposedly blessed by the Lord Almighty?

I shall bow to no man but the Imperator, and I shall never bow to you or your false pretenses to purity and divinity. If you, Your Holiness, are the result of the wisdom and 'blessing' of Jesus Christ upon this world -- then truly we have fallen too far from your god's light to ever be saved.
