SEDE VACANTE

(( OOC: ATTN @Spain @Kingdom-of-Reitzmag @Vayinaod @Malborya @Duxburian-Union @Miraco @Gallorum @Icholasen ))

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

It is my duty to inform you that Pope Aloysius has formally abdicated the Holy See, and that the Papacy now lies vacant. It is now the responsibility of the College of Cardinals to elect the next successor of St Peter.

I am therefore summoning all cardinals to the Vatican to begin this process.

Yours in Christ,

Cardinal Todd Unctious
Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church
Vatican Secretary of State
