As a representative of His Holiness, the Patriarch of Rotria, I would like to ask you a question. Does your country have any established virtual religions?

Greetings!

May His Holiness reign forever!

The Holy Empire of Réunion has not established any virtual religions. However, we do recognize the " Igreja Católica Micronacional " (Micronational Holy Catholic Church) as a symbol of the Holy Catholic faith in micronationalism.

In the lusophone micronational world there is the ICM, which is formed by seminarists and a few real priests, and also some catholic citizens who are not priests. They virtually represent the Catholic Church in Réunion, and are recognized as such by the Réunian state.

However, we are perfectly aware that they are a mere symbol, and are not an official part of the Catholic Church. They have Micro-Bishops and Micro-Cardinals and also Micro-Priests in their Church simulation.

The ICM was born in 1998 and has been headquartered in Réunion since 2004, after Réunion annexed the "Republic of Mariana", which used to be their headquarters until then.

Réunion ensures freedom of Religion, and although our official religion is Romam Catholic we have laws punishing any kind of discrimination.

Yours,

Claudio de Castro
Réunion
