History
The Genesian Catholic Church did not evolve much from its 16th Century counterpart. Pope Jamie I founded the nation of Catholic Europe, which encompasses much of Europe and the Middle East, and the Papacy has ruled there ever since. The Vatican was moved from Rome to Genesis a few years after the bombing of Genesis City as a show of hope towards the city.
The Church has survived a war of the Papacy, a reformation, a war against many a nation, such as The Resplendent Dawn, and a schism. It has gone through 40+ Popes and has lasted hundreds of years.
