Church of the Almighty Beetroot
What is the CAB? (Minecraft)
The Church of the Almighty Beetroot is a monotheistic offshoot religion based on the Craftian Canon Law of the Seed—a further denomination of the Craftian Collegiate. Founded in 2010 by the great Cayan Three, this religion has struggled in the wake of its other polytheistic Terrarian counterparts of old.
Further Origins
The Church started as a group of enlightened Craftians, seeking a reformed path to redemption; not just through the Great Mojangus, but also from his creation. The humble beetroot has become the focus of the new missionaries. They sought to spread the Word of Root. They composed books, to the dismay of the faithful Craftians. They were quickly exiled from the city of Endöpus and banished to the coves of the Southern Cay. There, the former high priest, Slavus, began the Rootian Rite of Craftian Canon Law. Once on the island, he and his two other followers, Catilius "The Bold" and Khan, started construction on a priory and began to spread their rite around the surrounding islands. Though small at present, this new rite emerged from the ashes of the old gods' pagan and Craftian views on the Seed and her values.
Church Doctrines
There are eight laws you must follow if you seek redemption—
I: Fasting, you must abstain from eating once every ten days in good faith for the Holy Commune [Mojangus, Beetroot, Seed]. II: Exercise, "you must jump at least one hundred times a day"~ First Book of Judgement, Canon Law. III: Eating, "eat plenty of Sea Pickles, for they are the chosen food"~ First Book of Judgement, Canon Law. IV: Farming, "plant a field every spring, for you shall then reap the fruit of your labor"~ First Book of Judgement, Canon Law. V: Silence, "one must sit before a lectern and meditate, ensuring your mind is full of beetroot"~ Second Book of Judgement, Canon Law. VI: Reading, "a follower must read a chapter of Judgement, Root, or Cysos before resting"~ Second Book of Judgement, Canon Law. VII: Swimming, "a follower must spend time in the sea to be one with Seed and her domain"~ Third Book of Judgement, Canon Law. VIII: Academics, "a good Rootian must know the numbers of the world"~ Third Book of Judgement, Canon Law.
Leadership and Hierarchy
The lowest rank are the Priors, who manage the monasteries and churches by performing menial tasks and manual labor; they are not paid, but given lodging and food.
The next lowest are the Cupbearers, whose duty is to pour and mix the holy juices and extracts.
Following are the Kropus, the priest's assistant. They maintain order in the priory, compile ledgers, and write envoys.
Then comes the Priest, who conducts rituals and ceremonies and leads his priory.
Next is the High Priest, who has the same duties as a priest but has jurisdiction over multiple priories.
And finally the Rootus Primus, the head of the rite. This position can only be achieved by fulfilling the tasks outlined in Canon Law.
Legacy
Though CAB's growth has slowed and is largely confined to the Southern Cay region, it continues to grow through peaceful island-hopping, hoping to spread the Word of Root.
