Nevertheless, regardless of the protection I've offered the church through many volleys of arrows from the confines of Flick's Fun Faire, and the the cathedral I have built to the almighty churro, my brethren and sistren were loathe to help me in my hour of need as I was kidnapped and placed somewhere near the revolving sound of Nathan Lane's voice (I still believe it must have been Innoventions). No, the popcorn fumes did not overcome me, and I am in my right mind. Had the leadership of the church responded to my pleas for help, rather than make wise cracks about popcorn fumes, perhaps my separation from them could have been avoided. I now align myself with the free snackers. I shall still uphold the churro and decry the evil of popcorn, but I cannot stand idly by while the leadership of the Churro church ignores the pleas from it's own members, focusing instead upon mincing words with popcornians. If I must abdicate my throne, so be it. So it is written, so it is said.

The beauty is, no one else has to listen to his denouncement of a particular snack food. He even has the choice of giving popcorn another try. It's like, hey man, whatever floats your boat.

I have chosen to regain my former position as the King and Potentate of the Kingdom of Fantasyland. I will be abstaining from my title of Cardinal while still remaning a religious leader with the position of Bishop. As the Potentate of the Kingdom of Fantasyland, I am a member of the Senate of the Empire of the Most Holy Churro of Disneyland and not a part of the Church Council. Thank you to all who continue to worship the Most Holy Churro in this dire time. May the Most Holy Churro bless and keep you all. Amen.

They were given their positions by the Supreme Pontiff because he thought they were best for the job. The Supreme Pontiff thought that these royals would uphold the traditions of the Churroian Faith and practice only the strictest Churroianism. Shame to all of those who denounced the Church and the Most Holy Churro in favor of free snacking anarchy. The Most Holy Churro always protected you when you needed it and the Church always looked out for it's children. Yes, the Church made mistakes. Yes, some of the decisions the Church made were wrong, but that is no reason to denounce it because of a few problems. The Church has learned from its mistakes. I urge all of those who denounced the Old Ways to return to the Churro. We gave you a throne and a kingdom, and this is the repayal we have recieved from you. Shame.
