Fallen Roman Catholic Church

DISCLAIMER: This article may be offensive to the real world Catholic Church, but this article is purely science fantasy fiction and does not represent the real world Catholic Church.

The Roman Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Church, the Catholic Church, the Roman Orthodox Church and The Church, is a global Christian society of devout men and women seeking ultimate salvation.

However, in 2036, nearly five months after Aki Honda's death and Mafusa Gang's defeat, Pope Matthai Reese was nearly killed by Michael Langdon, who wished to cause Katarina and La Folia took part in his ploy. The assassination worsen the division of Roman Church, and eventually, after gaining everything he wanted - the Grand Grimoire, the Frozen Sapphire of Arendelle, the Shard of Anubis, all of 30 Tyrian shekels, the Bell of Awakening and so on - Michael managed to pact with the sadistic Terra of the Left, one of the God's Right Seat, and eventually become the Pope. He banished Pope Pietro Yogdis, the new Pope after World War III, and nearly killed him.

During the time while Michael taking over, the Catholic Church is known as the Fallen Church. It serves as the main antagonistic faction of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow - Anti-Christ Saga.

Sub-factions

 * God's Right Seat - Political organization deeply active within the Roman Church, even run everything of the Church. Often advises the Pope on matters of the church and is more powerful than the actual clergy in general. (dissolved)
 * Agnese Forces - Paramilitary Unit comprised of 250 Battle Nuns. Serves the church in eliminating its rivals. After the failed assasination attempt against (former) Pope Matthai Reese, Agnese Forces had defected to the Anglican Church but later on rejoined the Roman Church once more after World War III.
 * Thirteen Knights of the Roman Catholic Church - Special Task Force tasked with eliminating heretics and traitors to the Roman Orthodox Church (dissolved).

Legacy
After Michael's final defeat and demise, the Fallen Church dissolved into different factions, smaller and weaker than original. Catholic Church was saved (though severely weakened). Pope Pietro Yogdis, who became the new Pope, had devoted himself into repairing the trauma and disbelief caused by Michael. The death of Terra of the Left made a severe blow on God's Right Seat, weakening them and eventually dissolved them. Acqua of the Back and Fiamma of the Right both retired from their position and devoted themself into rebuliding faith.

However, the remnants of the Fallen Church, who deeply devoted themselves into Moloch's dark side, wrecked havoc across the world and even battled against each other. In the end, however, the Fallen Church merged once again and became an enslave faction of Deus.Ex.Machina Industries Empire following Darth Hades' defeat.
