Father John E. Since (Pope JDC), after one particularly tiring day of doing pope things, ends up falling asleep in the graveyard and inadvertently attracting a crowd of spectators. ![](https://i.imgur.com/phyQeOl.png) * * * A demon attacks the Fort Carson Church! The Pope and Brother Michael (Michael\_AncelottiT) come to the rescue, conducting an exorcism. The battle is long and hard; the demon even encases the Pope in stone at one point. But the Church fights back; the Pope uses his holy dildo to squirt white fluid at the demon, assisted by Brother Michael chanting from the holy books. By the grace of our Lord Sauron, the day is saved, and the demon is bonked back to horny jail sent back to hell.

SAPD Ceremony and Post-Ceremony Protest February 2, 2021 (Tuesday), 19:00 CET onwards The screenshots below are divided into four parts. Each part has one screenshot visible; you can see more pics by expanding the Spoilers. Each pic is also resized to 700px wide, so you may also click on each pic to further expand them to full width. Screenshots below by JDC and Sierra\_Maxwell. * * * Part 1: The SAPD Ceremony Civilians and members of the Church, accompanied by His Holiness Pope +JDC (Father John E. Since), attend the SAPD Awards Ceremony at the SWAT Headquarters in KACC Military Fuels, Las Venturas. SAPD Chief LukeN and Deputy Chief =AV=Megamidget lead the Ceremony, recognizing officers of the SAPD for their hard work with medals and promotions. ![](https://i.imgur.com/MTq1mmu.png) After the Ceremony ends, the civilians all rise to their feet and put their hands up, in the same manner one does when greeting another with “Hail Sauron.” They begin protesting against police brutality, with chants of “End Police Abuse!” and “Hey hey, ho ho, APBs have got to go!”. Tensions arise as the present SAPD / SWAT members and FBI Agent warn the protesters to leave. [spoiler=Part 1 Screenshots] ![](https://i.imgur.com/L3kqsmr.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/F16iSFX.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/iGq6w5Z.png)[/spoiler] * * * Part 2: “Free John Wick!” Protester John Wick ([DS]Jwick), who is seated in the row behind the rest of the protesters, is arrested by FBI Command Adviser [WS]Mircea and SAPD Officer Philip\_Byrne. This interrupts the ongoing communication between the protesters and SAPD Public Affairs Spokesperson Margaret\_Porowski, as protesters immediately surround John Wick and his arresting officers. The crowd follows them, chanting “Free John Wick!”, as he is escorted out of the building. A tense confrontation happens in the entrance area as the law enforcers attempt to separate the crowd from John Wick. ![](https://i.imgur.com/3f4p4zi.png) [spoiler=Part 2 Images] ![](https://i.imgur.com/ugl9C7o.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/C0sL16q.png)[/spoiler] * * * Part 3: Standoff outside FBI HQ Depite the law enforcers’ attempts to spirit John Wick away from the crowd, they are followed to the FBI HQ at the other side of the city, in south-west Las Venturas. While the FBI interrogates John Wick inside, eventually charging him with possession of firearms, SAPD officers and SWAT operatives guard the gates and keep the protesters behind a barrier. The angry crowd continues chanting “Free John Wick!”, “John Wick did nothing wrong!”, and “End Police Abuse!”. The protest continues until the crowd scatters after Jwick’s game crashes, ending his processing in FBI HQ. ![](https://i.imgur.com/sPCnifa.png) [spoiler=Part 3 Images] ![](https://i.imgur.com/AflIgt6.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/gp6sIEj.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/PGecYEA.png)[/spoiler] * * * Part 4: The Arrest of Pope JDC Following the events of the protest, Pope JDC is arrested at the Fort Carson Church by a team of SWAT operatives, charged with organizing a protest without a permit, and detained at the Fort Carson Sheriff’s Department. The unrepentant pontiff waived his rights to an investigation, telling his arresting officers “I am only guilty of standing up for the freedoms of our fellow Children of Sauron.” The Pope is currently serving jail time (60 seconds) as legal proceedings continue. ![](https://i.imgur.com/SwMQvnS.png) [spoiler=Part 4 Images] ![](https://i.imgur.com/2OPKopK.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/2P7tWtJ.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/QmdP4F3.png)[/spoiler] * * * Bonus: An edited recording of the night’s events, made by Craig\_Luciano: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzq1Huq2\_iI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pzq1Huq2_iI) * * * A big thank you to everyone involved (protesters, SAPD, SWAT, FBI) in this wonderful peaceful protest RP! It was a lot of fun, and certainly a much more unique experience than it would have been if it were violent. Congratulations as well to all the SAPD officers recognized for their hard work. Let’s keep working to make Argonath more fun! ---

Before the events of February 2, Pope +JDC (Father John E. Since) is tear-gassed by law enforcers after attempting to come to the defense of a woman who hastily buried a corpse in the graveyard of Fort Carson Church. ![](https://i.imgur.com/Mo77TJr.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/vulIbvN.png) * * * On February 7, Sunday, members of the Priesthood and Laity (Laypersons) of the Church attend the SAPD Press Conference on the recent protests, hosted by the SAPD’s Public Affairs Division Head and Spokeperson, Lieutenant Margaret\_Porowski. Both in terms of goofing around and raising serious issues, the event was a great success, with Margaret doing a great job and handling the tense questions well. While these issues can simply be raised on the forum, it was much more fun to it through an RP approach as well, adding to the level of RP in-universe! ![](https://i.imgur.com/xSklQmn.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/jHVVuXc.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/66zVA7T.png) ---

![](https://i.imgur.com/iQFQj0v.png) SERVIRE ET PRAESIDIO of the Holy Father +JDC on incidents of police brutality against civilians ![](https://i.imgur.com/sPCnifa.png) 1.) As the spiritual caretakers of the majority of citizens in the United States of Argonath, it is the pastoral duty of our Church to uphold the well-being of all Children of Sauron in this life and the next. While the law enforcer, the law-abider, and the law-breaker are all equally important in the eyes of our Lord and Creator, our duty of care becomes more important when looking after the weak, the poor, and the marginalized, who are unable to protect themselves. 2.) In recent times, we have seen a disturbing amount of incidents of police brutality suffered by civilians at the hands of law enforcement as a result of APBs. While initially intended as a measure for law enforcers to keep one another informed of threats to the safety of our citizens, APBs have, in practice, become de facto warrants which leave civilians no choice but to face arrest, death, or escaping from the law as fugitives. Several of the victims of these incidents, seeking spiritual and physical sanctuary with the Church, have complained about being pursued and prosecuted by law enforcers through APBs, in some instances only facing formal charges (/su) when the pursuing law enforcers are assured of their success in arrest or termination. 3.) Members of the Church engaged in a peaceful protest against police brutality last Tuesday, February 2, after the first SAPD Award Ceremony of the year 2021. Protester John Wick ([DS]Jwick) was arrested on charges of weapon possession despite remaining peaceful, while Pope +JDC was arrested on charges of organizing a protest without a permit. After waiving his rights to an investigation, the Holy Father was released from prison several days later, following negotiations between legal representatives of the Church and the Government. 4.) Five days later, on February 7, Members of the Church (led by Pope +JDC and Father Gruia\_Collin) attended a Press Conference convened by the SAPD’s Spokesperson and Public Affairs Division Head, Lieutenant Margaret\_Porowski. The attendees present criticized the law enforcement’s use of APBs resulting in the excess use of lethal and nonlethal force. While we commend the statements of Lt. Porowski that the duties of law enforcement should also protect citizens’ civil liberties, we also hope that other law enforcers share that commitment in the practice of their duties. 5.) As the spiritual leader of the Church and also for and in behalf of the citizens protesting for their civil liberties, Pope +JDC voices the following four demands for the law enforcement authorities of the United States of Argonath and the State of San Andreas: First, that law enforcers, in carrying out their duties of protecting the peace, do not unjustly trample on the rights and civil liberties of our citizens by disregarding the constitutional right to remain innocent until proven guilty; Second, that law enforcers cease the use of APBs to pursue and prosecute citizens without formal charges (/su) or a proper warrant from a Court or other Constitutionally-assigned high authority. Such practices a.) violate the civil liberties of Argonath citizens by removing the target’s freedom to live in safety and by allowing punishment without formal charges (/su), and b.) violate the separation between the police power of law enforcement agencies and the judicial authority of the Courts, as even rank-and-file law enforcers, by using the APB as a de facto warrant, can usurp the authority of the Court to charge citizens outside of active crime incidents and formal investigations; Third, that a full and immediate suspension be enforced on all use of the APB in its current form, to remain in effect until the “new system” of APBs is rolled out by the San Andreas Police Department (SAPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI); Fourth, that law enforcers who choose to disregard the civil liberties of the innocent by violating the above, be brought to justice. It is our prayer that our law enforcement authorities grant these demands, so as to protect the rights and freedoms of our fellow Children of Sauron, to address the root causes of the recent civil unrest, and to restore the trust of our citizens in the law enforcers whose duty it is to serve and protect them. With the blessings of Sauron, +JDC p.p. Pope of the Holy Church of Argonath From the Cathedral of Saint Elrond, San Fierro, on Sunday, 7th February, in the year of our Lord 2021, the first of our pontificate. ---

Pope JDC (Father John E. Since) heads into the disputed territory of Flint County to hold a burial for four souls who were slain in a skirmish between the law enforcers of the United States of Argonath and insurgents of the Flint Liberation Army. For in the eyes of our Lord and Creator Sauron, those who enforce the law, those who follow the law, and those who rebel against the law are all equally important and worthy of His light.

![](https://i.imgur.com/iQFQj0v.png) 1.) The designation of “Religious Layperson”, which applies to all Members of the Church who are not part of or training for the Priesthood (i.e. ordinary citizens), is hereby renamed to “Believer”. 2.) The rank of Monsignor, which is above Priest and below Bishop, is hereby abolished. This is in line with our effort to simplify the organization of the Church due to the currently low population of the United States of Argonath. 3.) Information on the Church’s ranks, institutions, and other terms has been updated and slightly simplified. We will continue to do this in order to make our info more accessible to readers of different English skill levels, while also maintaining the level of detail needed for a proper Church RP experience. 4.) A new Rule #2 has been added, to ensure an IRL-IG separation of religion and to respect the IRL religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) of the members of the Holy Church of Argonath. Accordingly, Rules 2-5 are re-numbered as Rules 3-6. > [@JDC post:1](#): > > 2.) The Church follows the religion of Sauronism in Argonath, and not any IRL religion. While we take certain inspirations from real life, our members have different beliefs (or non-beliefs) IRL. 5.) Rule #6 has been updated to reflect the rights of Popes Emeritii and Cardinals to accept/promote members of the Priesthood, same as the current Pope. > [@JDC post:1](#): > > 6.) All acceptances of Seminarians and promotions to Priest and higher are approved by the Pope a Cardinal+. Citizens of Argonath may join as Believers after declaring their belief in the Church. There is no limitation on other groups that Members of the Church and its Priesthood may also be a part of — whether law enforcement, criminal, or civilian — with the sole exception of other religious groups that are not in full communion with the Church. 6.)

Funeral situation Seminarian Casper Darling found a dead body near the “Regular Tom” area. Father Jack(Gruia) performed the last rites, while Brother Casper aided him in the final rites and funeral. The burial was done at Las Brujas cemetery, belonging to the Las Brujas parish. Incantations that were said during the religious proceedings: General procedure: “And while he/she wasn’t an angel, none of us are That is why Sauron put us on Earth and not in heaven The trials of humanity were sometimes too much for him/her to bear But he/she was a committed family man/woman Sauron asks us to show faith, and that is what he/she did In his/her way \<\> gave so much of himself/herself and will sorely be missed by us all Amen And now if you will join me in the procession to the cemetery” At the burial: “May your soul be blessed by Sauron May you reach a place of green, of peace Where there shall be no sorrow or grief But eternal happiness and relief” [spoiler=Media content] ![](https://i.postimg.cc/nzVDpTYJ/sa-mp-024.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/tTrVTP2V/sa-mp-025.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/ZnCvyRMs/sa-mp-026.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/2jKZNQ1s/sa-mp-027.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/02KJkzmb/sa-mp-030.png) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/5yTY5Jc4/sa-mp-031.png)[/spoiler] ---

Heathens stay heathens As I was at Las Brujas church, I waited for pilgrims to gather in order for me to be able to perform my priestly duties. One man came along at first, and he was willing to confess to me that he had a cocaine addiction. In just a few other minutes, another man came by, and it turned out that he was a stepbrother of the aforementioned first pilgrim. Unfortunately, seminarian Michael was not in the village at the time of this service, so I had to handle the difficult duo all by myself. The first one that came up, who was apparently called Bruno, was honest about how he reached this state: his stepbrother influenced him. The other stepbrother, who was apparently named Marcos, was very incoherent. He was alright with being a very bad influence for his brothers. He constantly argued with ‘Bruno’ about their names being actually reversed. The vicious stepbrother was inebriated, under the influence of both alcohol and cocaine. He also admitted to constantly smoking and visiting prostitutes a few times a day. This sin-stricken soul was in no way looking forward to a better life with more goals other than physical pleasures. His stepbrother was willing to help, but guess what, there was no one to help. At one point, the man just left the church and made a run for it. I proceeded to go after him, along with his brother, by using the church Romero. After driving a few minutes over the sandy surfaces of Bone County, we finally caught a glimpse of him. However, the glipmse we caught was not that of redemption. He yanked me out of the hearse and drove all the way to Fort Carson, leaving me without a means of transport. I ran all the way to Fort Carson to discover the hearse that was crashed right into the fence of the Fort Carson Church. I once again spotted the individual, and I just made a run for it. I could no longer ignore such a horrible display. I even got onto a moped used by a local pizzeria and went ahead to chase the man. He got onto a boat, and I managed to jump on it as soon as he accelerated off. At one point, he stopped driving the boat and proceeded to assault me, even shooting me with a Desert Eagle. I had to retreat and understand that there was nothing more to be done. It sure is difficult being a priest!
