It was established on the summit of Mount Alexandria (in the territory of what is now the Papal States) by the first Cardinals of the Church and Pope Leo I -- Cardinal Realmichael, Cardinal DiamondVictor, and Cardinal Luminous15. These founding cardinals were soon joined by other founding members of the Church, including Cardinal Toomanyeggshells, Cardinal African_Warl0rd, and Cardinal Gamabhana1234.
Since the Church's removal from its territories in former Batavia, and the subsequent dissolution of the secular "Papal States," the Catholic Church's headquarters has been located on the Brunsvik City State, in the Brunsvik Cathedral, which is seat of the Pope himself.

Simultaneously on July 11th, the Bakhmut Crisis re-ignited as Delegate BluHusky of the Bakhmut Territory rose in revolt against the Papal Government and departed the region with much of the Vatican Treasury amidst the chaos of the July 11th Conflict. The Crisis was swiftly resolved the next day with the pearling of BluHusky and seizure of the rebel supply cache, and his subsequent negotiations with the Papal government - which revealed that his reasons for revolt had been based off of false pretense. BluHusky apologized to the people of the Papal States in a public address on July 12th, and was sentenced by a Vatican Court to exile in the newly-established Crusader Kingdom of the Namazik (another region considered under the temporal jurisdiction of the Pope and a territory of the Holy See).
=== Reign of Pope Iulianus I and Exile (July 11 -
With the Papacy restored in the Vatican, Pope Iulianus I was finally able to continue his reign in earnest, and continued a series of reforms including the official establishment of a Master of Ceremony. Cardinal Rxquiem4718 was soon appointed to this office, with his experience in Catholic procedure and law. Pope Iulianus I further oversaw the return of Cardinal Gamabhana1234 to active duty, with him once again taking up his roles as Cardinal Prefect for Finance and Technological Advancement.
A major keystone of Pope Iulianus I's diplomatic policy, the Church entered into early discussions with the Icenian government to link the territories of the Holy See with the global rail network. However, this would not be long lived, for the Papacy was exiled to the Namazik territories following a Lambeau acquisition of the portal under Bakhmut.

=== Incident of the Thirteenth of July ===
On the Thirteenth of July, during a trip with Cardinals Realmichael, Gamabhana, Rxquiem4718, and Archbishop TheIowanGod, in the City of Pavia, there was a fight between Cardinals Gamabhana and Realmichael. Gamabhana had stolen the railcart of Realmichael, and they had started hitting eachother in a fight. Gamabhana decided to escalate by throwing away the minecart off the bridge of the Railway towards Icenia. They had began loudly yelling and hitting eachother. Realmichael saying things such as "I diagnose you with retarded" and "You needa get the money to buy the ticket" and Gamabhana continuing to trick and make fun of realmichael, responding . Then, after acquiring a new railcart, Gamabhana and Realmichael had started to sabatoge eachother, turning off the railway in certain areas. It finally ended with Realmichael taking Gamabhana's railcart, but then gave it back in charity, agreeing to take separate sides of the railway on the way home (like children).
=== JLR Hostage Crisis Incident (Ninth of August) ===
On the Ninth of August, an anonymous terrorist organization had taken Papal Citizen JLR hostage. They demanded a stack of diamonds. Originally Archbishop TheIowanGod had supported the terrorist, but was quick to recant once RealMichael stepped in, and aided in the hunt for the Terrorist. Citizen JLR was kept in a Pearl, so he was able to broadcast the captor's coordinates for RealMichael and TheIowanGod. For about a night they had chased by boat over the Ocean the terrorist, who was promptly captured after being distracted and crashing into a beach.
