Izaakian Parliament has announced a blanket ban on religious schools and universities across the empire in a move that it is believed to be aimed reducing the influence of Christian institutions in La Montagne and Brödmark. The news has gone down particularly badly in La Montagne where catholic schools have traditionally played a large role. The Archbishop of Port Astride the highest catholic office in La Montagne has accused the prime minister of “heresy and inciting religious conflict”.
In Brödmark the Protestant Austral church has largely accepted the change, but has warned against “losing compassion and tolerance in this new era”.
