Background:
The Holy Church of Argonath is a long-established organization within the United States of Argonath. Dating back over 2,000 years, it is the one true church. The teaching and doctrine of the Church span millenia, and those who believe are on the path to Sauron in paradise.

Services:
Services are held from time to time on Sundays and during the week in different areas, by the different bishops and priests of the Church. The sacrament of Confession is available on request (either stop by at a church or phone a priest). Weddings by appointment only (usually require at least 1 week's notice). Baptisms, funerals, exorcisms, etc. are available on request. Please speak to your local priest if you require further information.

Papal Lineage:
1. Pope Elrond I
2. Pope Shifter I
3. Pope Anto I
4. Pope Janek I

Ranks:

it should be "L'Argoticano" since we don't use "Il" before that word.

It's intended to take off "Il Vaticano", not as grammatical fact. It's not heresy if I say it :D

Yeah, wants to make cash for the church, for the upkeep of buildings, and purchase of new organs and such-like  :D

Well, that moves us onto politics and we sadly cannot talk about that.

I'm sorry for recent inactivity. The church will resume on Sunday with a service in the church in Suffolk/Little Italy.

Applications are still being accepted, of course.

  Islam does not prevent you from role-playing characters of different religions. When you play single player, CJ is clearly not a muslim and does a lot of haram things. If you play any RPG games or fantasy games, your character may be of different religion or fantasy religion.

  The church of sauron is only roughly based on cristianity - mostly the bad parts as with the GTA style (peadophilia jokes galore, corruptness and fanaticalism).

But actually you are free to operate the Church of Sauron as you see fit. Does not have to be based on christianity. Could make it more interesting to include some more Islamic traditions.
