The procedures concerning the function of the office of Cardinal, the execution of duty, the inauguration into office, events relating to the vacancy of office and the death of current and previous office holders shall be defined by this article of the Covenant and any amendments passed according to the rules of this Covenant and the Covenant of One-Faith-Of-God.

By the authority of this Covenant and by the power of the ceremony of Supreme Instantiation of the Powers and Authority of Cardinal, a Cardinal shall have the following real ceremonial and spiritual authorities:

(i) The Cardinal shall themselves become a most Holy Instrument of Power, a Holy Person of high spiritual importance, a living embodiment of the new Covenant between Heaven and Earth, between Earth and Nation; and

(ii) When a Cardinal speaks in regards to the holy scripture of One Faith of God, it shall be recognized as having authority within their Nation; and

(iii) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual authority to perform the sacred ceremony of Supreme Blessing of the Body of the Nation, upon their Nation; and

(iv) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual and legal authority to Seal a Deed of Supreme National Sovereignty granted to any Nation that joins as a State Member of One Faith of God; and

(v) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual and legal authority to perform the official ceremony of Supreme Blessing of the Executive upon the appointment of a new Head of State of the Nation; and

(vi) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual authority to perform national cleansing, so that what he decrees on Earth shall be bound in heaven and the spirit world of all spiritual energy that has ever existed for the Nation; and

(vii) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual authority to perform exorcisms, so that what he decrees authority over disruptive spirits they shall be bound in heaven and the spirit world commanding all of all the spiritual energy that has ever existed for the Nation; and

(viii) A Cardinal shall have the spiritual authority to perform bindings so that what is decreed as bound on Earth in regards to justice and equity shall be bound in heaven and the spirit world by the power of all the spiritual energy that has ever existed for the Nation.

By the very definition of the role, the Cardinal is the purest form of teacher and guide. It is for the value of the message and the discourse of knowledge. It is not for the closing or entrapment of mind, but the freeing of the chains that make us believe we are less.

The Cardinal embodies the very covenant of this Covenant and as such each Cardinal represents in themselves and their role an instrument of power- a living national embodiment of this Covenant.

By this Covenant, the Supreme Council of One-Faith-Of-God are authorized to forge a formal set of protocols and standards regarding the Office of Cardinal which relates to the detailed definition and requirements of operational procedure and function necessitated by such a high office.

These standards themselves must embody and be consistent with the specific articles of this Covenant and in turn must be approved by a vote of the Supreme Council of One-Faith-Of-God.
