Semantics, syntax, phonetics, and pragmatics of the lingua latina are administered by the "Academia Lingua", founded around 1621 in Venceia. Creating this institution was the final step in Imperator Magnus III's reformation of Caphiria's academic foundations. Its purpose is to centralize the organization of Latin grammar and vocabulary while acting as an authority in disputes about the nature of the language. | Semantics, syntax, phonetics, and pragmatics of the lingua latina are administered by the "Academia Lingua", founded around 1621 in Venceia.

Religion has played a significant role in the development, spread, and evolution of Caphirian culture. In particular, Catholicism has been the established and dominant religion since Imperator Marius Oratonius was baptized into the Catholic Church in 1079, and all Caphiria would be nominally Christianized by the end of the 12th century. By the 16th century, though, the relationship between the Popes and the Imperators began to break down as a result of the emerging Protestant Revolt.

By the 16th century, though, the relationship between the Popes and the Imperators began to break down as a result of the emerging Protestant Revolt. This led to a series of events that culminated in the break of communion between the [[Catholic Church]] and the [[Caphiric Church|Caphiric Catholic Church]], which broke away from the authority of the Pope and eventually became the [[Imperial Church|Imperial Church of Caphiria]] and would eventually form the basis for [[Caphiric Catholicism]]. Caphiric Catholicism became the de facto state religion, and would have over 80% of the country practice it. This schism - called the [[Great Schism of 1615]] - lasted over four centuries, with several failed attempts at reconciliation occurring in between. In 2037, the Schism was finally mended through an agreement known as the [[Eight Points Agreement]], which brought Caphiria and the Caphiric Church back into full communion. | ||
