New World Discovered!!!
After careful analysis of Columbus’ discovery in
1492, it has been concluded that what we have believed
to be the Indies and part of Asia is indeed a “New
World”.
This new development arose out of observations
made by Italian cartographer Amerigo Vespucci that the
large land mass first discovered by Columbus in the late
15th century does not correspond to the charts and maps
made by European explorers of the Asia continent.
From this, Vespucci believes the only logical explanation
is that the land first discovered by Columbus and
surveyed by those that came after is in fact a new
continent.
If this is true, it opens up a whole “new world”

uncertain if Austria was given favor by
Germany for this aggressive act, but
whatever the case the Germans
declared war on Russia to support
Austria as part of their alliance with
that nation. France was then obligated
to become involved in a war over a
similar alliance with Russia.
This threat of a two front
conflict with both Russia and France
on both sides of Germany is no doubt
to blame for Germany’s disregard to
Belgium’s neutrality in order to
subdue the French forces quickly
before have to commit to a much
larger conflict with Russia.
It is uncertain if Britain will
commit troops to France to help
defend France and avenge Belgium,
but this is to be certainly the largest
conflict that has happened in Europe in
over 100 years. Whatever comes of
this war on the horizon, it safe to say
that all of Europe, or even the world
will never be the same again.

Martin Luther declared an outlaw.
Yesterday the Catholic Church made an official
declaration concerning the new teaching of former Catholic
monk, Martin Luther.
In a statement that has spread across Europe nearly as
quickly as Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Thesis, the Catholic
Church announced that Martin Luther is a heretic wanted by
the Catholic Church for crimes again God. This comes after
Martin Luther turned down a request from the Vatican to come
to Italy for a conference on his teachings in Northern Germany.
Many in Northern Germany supported Luther’s criticisms of the
Catholic Church and have called for reform along side Luther.
While Luther is not the first person to challenge the
Church’s corrupt use of power to deal with financial problems,
he is the first person to get wide-spread support from local
rulers that are committed to protecting him. Whether or not
Luther can continue to evade the reach of the Catholic Church is
uncertain, but rumor of a German translation of the Bible being
done by Luther while in hiding may be a sign that Luther is not
done challenging the power of the Catholic Church.
A Call to Arms
The Pope recently launched a holy war against the infidels in
the Middle East who have conquered and defiled the precious
holy city of Jerusalem. This “crusade” as it’s being called is the
first time that the nations of Christendom have come together
for a religious calling. Many knights and warriors from across
the kingdoms of Europe have already headed the call and are
advancing the city of Constantinople as a rallying point before
the military expedition into the Middle East to reclaim
Jerusalem.

D I T O R I A L S
The Great Pestilence that has beset Europe is horrible thing!
Those that would blame this curse of God as a disease or plague
are blinded by their own sin! This is a message from God for
the people of Europe to turn away from their wicked ways and
follow him more dearly. Mankind has lost their way and God
has found fit to punish us for our disbelieve, our lustful and
unloving hearts, our pride, and our worldly ways.
Martha Townsberry, 37
The crazies in this fair city talk as if this is some sort of “wrath
of God” or something. I don’t know about all that, but I have
seen an awful lot of rats in the city lately. I think it has
something to do with them, but no one is talking about it.
