    Summary

    An infodump meta for the Conclave fandom on what happens to the Roman Curia (i. e. the "government" of the Roman Catholic Church) when there is a new pope. Do all the important people get replaced, how much does it change, does it have to change, should it change? With examples from recent Real Life church history and an extra chapter on the role of women in the Curia before and since Pope Francis's Curia reforms.

    Part of Jolie's Occasional Lectures on Catholic Church Organisation, Canon Law and Other Things You Never Thought You Would End Up Reading About Until You Contracted the Conclave Bug.

    Summary

    You may find time is too relentless to control and you cannot change your role.

    Zhongli’s expression is painfully gentle. It sends a flutter through his chest that anyone would look at the bloodthirsty Harbinger like that. He is silhouetted beautifully by the golden light. A golden prince for a golden city.

    “They say that souls never truly die. One day we might be so lucky to meet old friends again. Perhaps those we cared for most will find us again and we might learn the foundations of our friendship once more. I always thought time a relentless enemy but maybe time gifts us these moments of joy as well.”

    The hero Ajax walked the lands of Teyvat and his legend shaped the future. Heroes die but legends live forever. Their names are passed on, one generation after another. Those who bear the names of heroes are forced to confront the legacy they inherit.

     

    Childe grows up in the shadow of his namesake and rises to meet the challenge of legend.
