Establishment of Ecclesia Aeternam - 1RCC - 150RCC
Humanity has established itself across many galaxies and planets. Despite the advancement in tech and medicine, they still continue to wage wars against each other and worship old idols with new names. This has angered Pope Peter XX who thought that the opportunity space travel and discovery would make mankind work for a common goal, but instead, it did the opposite. People became greedy over resources and planets and did whatever they could to have all the glory and riches the universe had in store. With the power at his disposal, Pope Peter XX encouraged his faithful to act. Many Catholics were in positions of power at this time and were able to sway the people under them to convert especially since most Catholics lived in the original galaxy humanity came from. They were so numerous that they were the majority in the Milky Way galaxy. Because of this, Earth was converted within a month, the moon was converted a week after that, and Mars was converted a month after that.
The Church now had an army, resources, space ships, and the attention of other empires. Empires from other galaxies wanted to make an example of the Church since the Catholics within their galaxy were starting to move away or rise up and convert others to the true faith. Each one of the empires launched attacks on the Milky Way galaxy only to be thwarted. Despite having more advanced tech because of their resources, every empire that fought the Church fell. While the Church was conquering the galaxies of enemy empires, other faiths rose up against the weakened empires that controlled their galaxies and created their own. Soon after, the secular and heathen empires were brought to ruin. The remnants of these empires fled to faraway unknown galaxies and planets to settle there.
This marks the start of the Reign of Christ's Church era. The peace that the Church won doesn't last long as empires of other faiths start attacking it when they refuse to convert. Pope Peter XX isn't disturbed or surprised by this and promptly counterattacks while making plans for the future. He later dies at the age of two-hundred and two. His bishops didn't notice at first when he died since he appeared to be alive while he was sitting in his chair that overlooked St. Peter's square. Later, he is entombed in a glass coffin sitting up with his hands in prayer. Pope Fortier II takes over shortly after and follows Pope Peter XX's suggestions for the future, but later relaxes the Church's aggressive nature towards the other empires because of their willingness to trade and their many gifts that they send the Church.
