Christianity has existed in [[Daxia]] since the early 17th century when it arrived with three missionaries. Following bitter disputes on canon and a lengthy epistolary debate with Pope Urban VIII, the priest Quintulo Batiato broke off all relations with the Holy See. He declared the throne of Saint Peter was vacant, due to Urban's 'Devil-induced insanity'. He sent letters to the College of Cardinals urging them to convene in session and elect a new pontiff, Church authorities responded in 1635 by branding him a heretic and excommunicating him. Batiato accused the College of Cardinals of 'being in the throes of sin' and decided then to form his own separate church to be the rightful successors of Saint Peter. | Christianity has existed in [[Daxia]] since the early 17th century when it arrived with three missionaries.

Batiato's self-styled 'Church of the East' quickly gained adherents over the mainstream churches created by Batiato's fellow missionaries, especially because he had no qualms about playing politics with local governments and engaging in quid pro quo. In short order Batiato managed to get the mainstream Catholic Church outlawed, seizing their parishes for the Church of the East. | ||
