== History of High Pontificate == | == History of High Pontificate == | ||
+ | The first iteration of what would eventually become the High Pontiff was the High Priest of the Temple of the True Faith. The founders of this predecessor of the church were High Priests Evaristus I and Clement I, who received the Scroll of Virtue and the Scroll of Spirit from Exalted Owyn. When Emperor Godfrey Horen received the Scroll of Gospel he centralized the Temple under the authority of the Holy Emperors. The Temple was later independent under Exalted Sigismund, the fourth and final prophet, when he was given the fourth and final Scroll: the Scroll of Auspice. Under Sigismund the Temple of the True Faith was rebranded as the Church of the Canon, in order to honor the culmination of God's prophecy for humanity. | ||

The High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon is the undisputed head of the church, Vicar of God, and inheritor of the spiritual authority of the Exalted. The High Pontiff is elected by the Holy Synod upon the death of the previous Pontiff.

History of High Pontificate
The first iteration of what would eventually become the High Pontiff was the High Priest of the Temple of the True Faith. The founders of this predecessor of the church were High Priests Evaristus I and Clement I, who received the Scroll of Virtue and the Scroll of Spirit from Exalted Owyn. When Emperor Godfrey Horen received the Scroll of Gospel he centralized the Temple under the authority of the Holy Emperors. The Temple was later independent under Exalted Sigismund, the fourth and final prophet, when he was given the fourth and final Scroll: the Scroll of Auspice. Under Sigismund the Temple of the True Faith was rebranded as the Church of the Canon, in order to honor the culmination of God's prophecy for humanity.
The First High Priests - Pre-1300
First Interregnum - Pre-1400
The First Interregnum was caused by the splitting of Oren into Hanseti, Renatus and Salvus.

Second Interregnum - 1444
The Second Interregnum was caused by the abolition of the Pontifical throne by Owyn I; a deeply heretical move which was immediately resisted by clergy.
Third Interregnum - 1460
The Third Interregnum was caused by the abolition of the Church at the hands of Robert Chivay and the institution of the Reformed Communion, a caesaropapist tradition presided over by High Patriarch Thomas I, which greatly curbed the rights of the clergy. Church activity waned until the Vibian Coup, and the Canonist Church was restored by the will of Thomas I.

Post-Empire Pontificates - 1868
During the onset of 1868, Holy Orenian Emperor Philip III (reigned 1849-1868) passed away and later his wife too - Empress-Regnant Anastasia I (reigned 1853-1868) - from grief.

This was met with large amounts of controversy, including by Peter Augustus - the former monarchs' third born child - who declared himself the Holy Orenian Emperor in response. However, most of the Empire's vassals swore fealty to King Frederick I and would together defeat Peter IV in the Brothers' War, resulting in his death and the death of the Empire. While the dissolution of the Empire did not have a direct effect on the Church of the Canon's pontificate itself, it did disrupt a centuries' old tradition written into Canon Law that the Holy Orenian Empire is the continuation of the Exalted Godfrey's realm in which the Emperor also serves as the temporal equivalent of the High Pontiff's spiritual authority. This dissolution occurred midway through the pontifical reign of Tylos II.
