No it was a misunderstanding, I wanted to be in the region for fun but I got some endorsements and he believed that I was raiding but if I was raiding I probably would have banned him when I was in power for having the second most WA delegates but I didn't because I wasn't raiding.

endorsements not delegates

That delegate is an evil man. He is a fine person. I know him.

Atrides is/was a native of the region, you guys came in out of the blue and banned/ejected everyone else, which is typically what raiders do.

Mate, have you seen what he is doing?????? He is recking the place!

Me and Vatican speak for the truth!

If you guys just wanted to be in the region, why did you build up endorsements and seize the delegacy? You guys have a history of trouble with the moderators. You also banned and ejected other people who were coming in, which you still have not explained. You and your cronies came into our region, supplanted the rightful delegate, then proceeded to ban/eject other nations. In case you didn't know, that's characteristic of a raid, so Atrides and the others sought to get rid of you.

That's just it my officers were trying to keep the region safe and saw the sudden influx of people as a coordinated plan to take the region and didn't know who they were supporting. I didn't tell them to do it and they did it of their own free will they thought that they were doing their duty as border control. Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner I have been extremely busy with work and other personal things.

Wait forever, we will NEVER raid this region. We are here for refuge. And when it's clear we will go back.

Happy Easter

To all the Catholics here, I hope you had a blessed Easter Sunday. To all the non-Catholics, well...

"Canon 1253: The conference of bishops can determine more precisely the observance of fast and abstinence as well as substitute other forms of penance, especially works of charity and exercises of piety, in whole or in part, for abstinence and fast."
Yeah, the USCCB canceled abstinence from meat on Fridays outside of Lent without really instituting an adequate replacement. U.S. Catholics, therefore, aren't currently bound by the requirement that you cite.

The USCCB removed the obligation of U.S. Catholics to abstain from meat binding under pain of sin. However, the USCCB in no way "canceled" abstinence from meat on Fridays outside of Lent, they only made it something you are no longer obliged to do. The USCCB, exercising their canonical right from Canon 1253 like you cited, still recommends the faithful to abstain from meat each Friday of the year as the preferred penance, but American Catholics may substitute it for some other form of penance. U.S. Catholics indeed are bound by Canons 1251 & 1252, it's just that they no longer are required to abstain from meat every Friday so long as they actually do a penance on Friday instead of abstinence. The USCCB did not and does not have the authority to "cancel" penances on Friday, they can only "determine more precisely" what the faithful are obliged to do on Fridays.

It truly is a shame that many American Catholics have taken this to mean that they are no longer bound by the U.S. Church to perform penances on Fridays. Technically, not performing a penance on Friday is something one must confess.
