Christianity was first introduced to [[Corumm]] in 1623 by Acirian deacon Corso Pizarra and two Caphirian priests, Quintulo Batiato and Maximo Cosinga. Through their work at the Qian court they earned a modicum of toleration for their faith. The three men's competing egos would often get in the way of their proselytizing mission, with Batiato eventually sending letters to the Pope asking him to excommunicate his two companions. When this petition was denied and after being passed over for the newly created position of Bishop of [[Mirzak]] by {{wp|Urban VIII}} in favor of Cosinga, Batiato declared the throne of St. Peter was vacant, due to Urban's 'insanity'. He sent letters to the College of Cardinals urging them to convene in session and elect a new pontiff, Church authorities responded by branding him a heretic and excommunicating him. | Christianity was first introduced to [[Corumm]] in 1623 by Acirian deacon Corso Pizarra and two Caphirian priests, Quintulo Batiato and Maximo Cosinga.

Batiato decided then to form his own church to be the rightful successors of Saint Peter. He broke into Cosinga's church and stole the donations box and moved to the town of [[Daguo]] where he gathered a group of dispossesed to be his acolytes. By 1637 in addition to himself he had created five more 'cardinals' and had himself elected as Pope Zosimus II of the Christian Church of the East. | |||
