Henry: I would like to propose:
Edict 10.2: The Chancellor will not authorise any construction in settlements without the highest level of religious building currently possible, unless there is a religious building in the build queue.
Gentlemen: I have reviewed all our provinces and, while we are about to construct a huge cathedral in Rome, in most other places, our cities lack abbeys or cathedrals. We have become too worldly, electors, prioritising war and money over devotion to God.
To rectify this, where it is possible to build a religious building, I ask all governors to include it in their build queues. And my edict proposes that the Chancellor shall not build anything in settlements where governors do not make such a provision.
Electors, I fear dark times are ahead of Christendom. The Horse Lords are returning and plague already infects one of our largest cities. Within the Reich itself, I detect a corruption as assassins and warmongers gather in ever greater numbers. Even I have acquired the wholly bogus taint of being a "killer" and a "master of assassins". Only through prayer and devotion to God can we fortify ourselves against the spiritual struggles to come.
