Vesperian Orthodox Christianity

Vesperian Orthodoxy is a heresy of Chalcedonian Christianity split off and solidified by the Council of Boston in 1712. It has grown to great influence across most of eastern Vesperia, and spreads through missionary work around the world.

Vesperian Orthodox believers follow many of the same doctrines as Chalcedonians, but have committed to a variety of theological reforms in the belief that European Christianity is too stagnant and decayed. Notably, they reject that Mary, mother of Jesus, was free from original sin and assert that there is no Purgatory for the improperly purified. The Church and proper atonement for sin with God are the only way to Heaven.

As part of their split from Chalcedonian Christianity, Vesperian Orthodoxy has developed its own structure of bishops and parishes, including an independent Pentarchy. These holy cities are all in Vesperia, to be closer to the people and their worship: Boston, Milwaukee, Saint Maria, Ville de Hamilton, and New London.
