About

Experience the life of a priest in the global Catholic Church. You can start at any rank. The hierarchy follows the order of Priest - Auxiliary Bishop - Bishop - Archbishop - Cardinal - Pope. To rise from Cardinal to Pope, you must be elected through a vote called a Conclave. The step from Priest to Auxiliary Bishop is extremely difficult and demanding. To move from Priest to Auxiliary Bishop, you must celebrate and participate in many Masses. Moving from Auxiliary Bishop to Bishop requires hosting numerous diocesan events and celebrating Mass. Each diocese has one Bishop and one Auxiliary Bishop. In South Korea, the dioceses include the Archdiocese of Seoul, the Diocese of Incheon, Uijeongbu, Suwon, Chuncheon, Wonju, Daejeon, the Archdiocese of Daegu, the Diocese of Busan, Andong, Masan, Cheongju, the Archdiocese of Gwangju, the Diocese of Jeonju, and Jeju. Archdioceses are led by Archbishops, while general dioceses are led by Bishops. Both have one Auxiliary Bishop each. There are various other dioceses all over the world. Cardinals oversee these dioceses. There are usually 2–3 Cardinals per country, though countries with smaller populations or lower Catholic proportions typically have only one. Users can choose their starting rank. Once a baptismal name is chosen, it cannot be changed unless you become Pope. Each diocese contains at least dozens of cathedrals and churches. The Holy See is located in Vatican City, and most Masses celebrated by the Pope are held at St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. Globally, there are approximately 100 Cardinals, 5,000 Auxiliary Bishops, Bishops, and Archbishops, and slightly fewer than 100,000 Priests. Upon becoming a Cardinal, you gain Vatican citizenship and can choose to live in the Vatican or your home country. The Pope is the head of the Vatican. Cardinals receive treatment equivalent to a Prime Minister in other countries. There is at least one Cardinal in each major country. Women cannot become priests; doing so would be seen as breaking Catholic history and a clear sin against God's laws.
