It took the Supreme Council less than two minutes to reduce months of work by the Synod of the Reformed Augustan Church and dozens of rural, traditionalist members of the KNaCK to a farce.
According to the rules of procedure, at least 15% of Supreme Council members must initially vote in favor of a KNaCK petition to force a debate before another final vote. Motions for financial support for which neither direct nor indirect funding is foreseeable face an uphill battle anyway - and an even tougher one in the current situation. A mere 12.7% voted to continue considering the petition. The endeavor was a complete flop.
Even in the KNaCK, a majority of 53% had been achieved only with great difficulty, which resulted in the motion being forwarded to the Supreme Council. Thus, overwhelming initial support had not been expected, but at least a serious consideration of the matter did not seem out of the question.
Proposal’s Initiators Deeply Disappointed
In a statement, the Nuntio de la Ĝenerala Sinodo, Romeo Valerido, commented on the SK’s conduct as follows:
“It is a slap in the face to the people of Zardugal, for whom attending church is still an integral part of social life. Especially in structurally disadvantaged rural regions, places of worship are not only sites of religious devotion but also places of encounter, exchange, and refuge. Without the requested funding, it will no longer be possible to fulfill these roles in the future, and millions of people will be left in the lurch.”
Lapulo Defends the SK’s Actions
Commissar of Internal Affairs and Security, Teofrasto Lapulo rejects any responsibility for the concerns of the Reformed Augustan Church:
“For decades, it has been established that the state does not interfere in matters of religion as long as applicable laws are adhered to. Conversely, no one can expect politicians to commit to preserving church infrastructure. It is already a sign of sufficient goodwill that the RAE is allowed to continue operating its places of worship, many of which are located in prime locations, undeterred, even though there are plenty of other possible uses for the occupied land. The fact that the RAE cannot distribute its donations wisely and is completely overstretched in terms of infrastructure is neither a new development nor the fault of public authorities. The motion suggested an unreasonable obligation on the part of the general public toward religious communities, and the argument now put forward by the RAE representatives is simply indecent.
Outrage in Many Places Over the Process, Not the Decision on the Merits
What has sparked an outcry among the general public, however, is the Supreme Council’s arrogant handling of motions submitted by the KNaCK. Under the slogan “Superficial Council: No Democracy without the KNaCK,” demonstrations were announced in Veneto, Skrubio, Argemonto, and Faro, some of which were initiated by KNaCK representatives themselves. Representative Nikolo Luceko from Veneto made the following statement to LaMesagisto:
“Even for me, who does not have the well-being of the Church at heart, it is scandalous how the SK has handled the expressed will of the people. The fact that the final decision-making authority lies with the SK presupposes that it will seriously engage with the ideas of the KNaCK, which represent a more vibrant, dynamic reflection of the current political spirit. The task of the council members is to translate these, admittedly, at times impetuous ideas into practical measures. What they have done, however, is to brush aside the will of a majority, as narrow and half-hearted as it may have been in some cases, as if it were a pesky fly. This is an unacceptable and undignified way to treat the work of the KNaCK.”
CHURCH-PETITION REJECTED BY THE SUPREME COUNCIL
Rural delegates managed, with great effort, to secure a majority in the KNaCK for their demand for funds to renovate church buildings. Their efforts appear to have been in vain
