[edit] Formation

Carpathianism is founded by Carpathia in book 8 of the series, The Mark. Having been indwelt by Satan and raised from the dead after being slain by Chaim Rosenzweig, he is quick to proclaim himself as the one true God. Promoting his Supreme Commander and False Prophet Leon Fortunato to the rank of Most High Reverend Father of Carpathianism, he outlaws all existing religions and declares that swift and brutal punishment will come to those who refuse to adopt this religion and, in turn, worship him as God.
