'''''De-Catholization''''' ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]: ''De-Católización''), commonly known as the '''''Creeperian Genocide''''' ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]: ''Genocido Creeperiano''), was the  genocide of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]], [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council|Romerists]], and [[Salvadorans]]. Between 1933 and 1949 across [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelist]] controlled territories of [[Creeperopolis]], the Miguelists systematically murdered around 9 to 11 million Catholics, Romerists, Salvadorans, and other political opponents, along with any Miguelist dissidents or deserters. The murders were carried out in mass executions, mass shootings, and by a policy of extermination through forced labor in quarries, farmland, and mines, or in gas chambers and gas vans in Miguelist extermination camps, chiefly [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]], but also [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]], [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]], [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio]], [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]], and [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]]. Massacres, looting, and pillaging were also commonly committed by the Miguelists such as the 1944 [[La'Libertad Massacre]], the 1947 [[San Salvador Massacre (1947)|San Salvador Massacre]], and the 1948 [[Burning of San Salvador]].

The [[National Council for Peace and Order]] implemented the persecution in stages. Following the outbreak of the [[Creeperian Civil War]] on [[San Salvador del Norte Incident|January 2, 1933]], the Miguelists built a network of prisoner of war camps for prisoners of war and arrested political opponents starting with [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]] in January 1933. Its prisoners were treated porrly and were poorly fed and hydrated, many of whom died from starvation or dehydration. In occupied civilian life, Catholics were segregated and treated as subhumans. Following defeat in the [[Salvadoran Civil War]], [[Salvadorans]] began to be targetted by groups of the ''[[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales]]'', Miguelist paramilitary death squads tasked with killing those deemed as enemies of the state. Prisoners were medically experimented on by the ''[[Elite Medical Detachment|Elite Medical Detachment]]''.

The segregation of Catholics culminated in the policy of extermination discussed by senior Miguelist officials at the [[Adolfosburgo Conference (1935)|Adolfosburgo Conference]] in [[Adolfosburgo, Adolfosburgo|Adolfosburgo]] in August 1935. As Miguelist forces captured new territories, all anti-Catholic measures were radicalized. Under the coordination of the [[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales|ESTARES]] with directions from the highest leadership of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]], killings were committed within Miguelist occupied zones of [[Creeperopolis]]. The [[Miguelist Army]] and the ''[[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales]]'', in cooperation with the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'', the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]], and local collaborators, murdered around 2.1 million Catholics in mass shootings and massacres between 1935 and 1949. By 1939, victims were being deported from across [[Creeperopolis]] in sealed freight trains to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, they were worked to death, executed, or gassed. The killing continued until the end of the [[Creeperian Civil War]] on [[Battle of the Zapatista River|September 30, 1949]].

[[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] were targeted for extermination as part of a larger event during the ''De-Catholization'' Era, usually defined as beginning in January 1933, in which the Miguelists and its collaborators persecuted and murdered other groups, including [[Salvadorans]], political dissidents such as [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council|Romerists]], and [[Deltinians]]. The death toll of these groups is thought to rise to 9-11 million dead. Denial of the genocide, questioning the genocide, or supporting the genocide is illegal in [[Creeperopolis]] and is [[Capital punishment in Creeperopolis|punishable by death]].

== Terminology and Scope ==

=== Terminology ===

{{Creeperian Catholicism}}

The term "''De-Catholization''" was originally used by [[Conservative Party (Creeperopolis)|Creeperian conservatives]] to label the period of time from [[Monarch's Revolution|August 13, 1729]], to [[Peoples' Revolution|September 15, 1730]], known as the [[Republic of Creeperopolis]]. Conservatives saw it as [[Liberal Party (Creeperopolis)|Creeperian liberals]] under [[Orlando Moreno Hidalgo]] abolishing the centuries of tradition of the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] in the nation with the intent of turning [[Creeperopolis]] into a secular dominated nation with the majority of the population being agnostic, atheist, or irreligious. The abolition of the [[State of the Church (1258–1729)]] is pointed to as the greatest evidence that this is the case. Certain [[National Liberal Party (Creeperopolis)|liberals]] from the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis|Second Parliamentary Era]] embraced the idea of ''De-Catholization'' during the Creeperian Republic while the majority denied the claims of the [[National Conservative Party (Creeperopolis)|conservatives]] as falsehoods. 

During the [[Creeperian Civil War]], [[Romerism|Romerists]] from the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] and its supporters called the attacks on civilians through mass shootings and massacres as "''Las'Grades Matanzas''," translated as "''The Great Massacres''" or "''The Grand Massacres''," or as "''Los'Trabajos del Diablo''," translated as "''The Works of the Devil''." Others called the massacres "''El Genocido''", translated as "''The Genocide''." Meanwhile, the Miguelists officially called the mass shootings and massacres as "''La'De-Catolización de la'Patria de la'República Popular de Creeperópolis''", translated as the "''The De-Catholization of the Motherland of the People's Republic of Creeperopolis''." The Miguelists officially stated that the program was to transform [[Creeperopolis]] into a secular state through peaceful and progressive means as a way to mislead the public as to the actual methods ''De-Catholization'' would be achieved.

After the civil war, the Creeperian government officially named the genocide as "''La'Gran Matanza''," translated as ''The Great Massacre'' or ''The Grand Massacre.''" In 1956 following the [[Salvadoran Revolution of 1956]], the Creeperian government officially designated the genocide as "''De-Católización''," translated as "''De-Catholization''," as to make the genocide more "[[Propaganda in Creeperopolis|relatable]]" to all those subject to the Creeperian government. Sometimes it is written or spoken as "''La'De-Católización''," translated as "''The De-Catholization''," as to signify it was a significant event. The genocide is commonly referred to as the "''Genocido Creeperiano''," translated as the "''Creeperian Genocide''," to refer to the genocide in a way as to not reference the [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Catholics]] which were the primary targets of the genocide.{{efn|name="De-Catholization" vs "Creeperian Genocide"|The following nations officially refer to the genocide as the "''De-Catholization''": [[Creeperopolis]], [[Karimun]], [[Sequoyah]], [[Terranihil]], and [[Willdavie]]. The following nations officially refer to the genocide as the "''Creeperian Genocide''": [[Eminople]], [[Gagium]], [[Greater Sacramento]], [[Groffenord]], [[Lyoa]], [[New Gandor]], [[Paleocacher]], [[Quebecshire]], [[San Carlos Islands]], [[Reia]], and [[Xusma]].}}

=== Definition ===

''De-Catholization'' at its most basic level is the genocide of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] by the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. Broder definitions used by the Creeperian government include [[Salvadorans]] and [[Romerism|Romerists]]. Some historians also include [[Deltinians]] into the definition of ''De-Catholization''.

== Distinctive Features ==

=== Genocidal State ===

[[File:DeCat Camps.png|thumb|right|Map of the six National Council extermination camps in [[San Luís (viceroyalty)|San Luís]] and [[Adolfosburgo (viceroyalty)|Adolfosburgo]].]]

The logistics of the mass murder turned Creeperopolis into what [[Orlando Pareja Palau]], a professor from [[Antonio José Sáenz Heredia University]], called a "genocidal state." The ''De-Catholization'' was the second time a nation had thrown its power behind the idea that an entire people should be wiped out only after what Pareja Palau argues is the [[Jewish Holocaust Conspiracy Theory|Jewish Holocaust]] in [[Greater Sacramento]]. Anyone who was a [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholic]], a [[Salvadoran]], or a [[Romerism|Romerist]] has to be killed to protect the state and purify the country. People who were identified as such had their property confiscated and were deported on trains to forced labor camps, concentration camps, or extermination camps. As prisoners entered the death camps, they were ordered to surrender all their personal property. The [[National Council for Peace and Order]] used to confiscated property to help finance their war effort.

=== Collaboration ===

{{History of Creeperopolis}}

[[Orlando Pareja Palau]] argued that without collaborators, the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] could not have extended the killing across the entire country. The [[National Council for Peace and Order|National Council]] had to have received aid from local peasants in their efforts to kill [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]]. Groups like the ''[[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales]]'', commonly known as the ESTARES, were formed to recruit locals to join in on the genocide to hasten the process. Other rebel groups such as the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] sympathized with the [[National Council for Peace and Order|National Council]] feeling oppressed by the [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] since the [[Senvarians|Senvarian]] native population of [[Kingdom of Senvar (separatist state)|Senvar]] was overwhelmingly [[Senvarian Protestantism|Protestant]]. Other organizations such as the [[Creeperian Social Communist Party]]'s ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' under [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] and [[Mariano Alcocer Fraga]] also collaborated with the [[National Council for Peace and Order|National Council]] and perhaps even pushed the [[National Council for Peace and Order|National Council]] into initiating an industrialized genocide of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]]. 

The industrialization and scale of the murder was unprecedented, even for the [[Creeperans|Creeperian]] standards. Killings were systematically conducted in virtually all areas of [[Creeperopolis]]. Nearly 7 million [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] from across [[Creeperopolis]], [[El Salvador]], and the [[State of the Church|State of the Church]] were killed from 1933 to 1949. Hundreds of thousands more [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] died in [[Kingdom of Atlántida|Atlántida]] and [[Castilliano (Kingdom)|Castilliano]] whenever the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] and its collaborators entered their territory. 

Groups of Catholic collaborators were organized into the ''[[Apostates for the Cause]]'', translated as "Apostates for the Cause" (APÓCA).

=== Medical Experiments ===

Medical experiments were conducted on concentration and extermination camp inmates by the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] under the direct control of the ''[[Elite Medical Detachment]]'', translated as the ''Elite Medical Detachment'' and abbreviated as DEMÉDÉL. At least 28,000 prisoners were subjected to experiments, with most dying as a result either during the experiments or later. Nineteen senior physicians and other medical personnel were charged at the [[Adolfosburgo Trials]] after the civil war with crimes against humanity. They included the head of the ''[[Elite Medical Detachment]]'', tenured professors, clinic directors, and biomedical researchers. Experiments took place primarily at the six extermination camps of [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]], [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]], [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]], [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio]], [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]], and [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]], but also occured at other camps. Some dealt with sterilization of men and women, the treatment of war wounds, ways to counteract [[Chemical Weapons in the Creeperian Civil War|chemical weapons]], research into new vaccines and drugs, and the survival of harsh conditions.

The most notorious physician of the [[Creeperian Civil War]] and of the ''De-Catholization'' was [[Ricardo Klement Encarnación]], a DEMÉDÉL officer who became the [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] camp doctor on May 30, 1936. Interested in genetics, he would pick out subjects from the new arrivals during "selection" on the ramp. Whose who he selected for his experiments would be measured, killed, and dissected. Klement Encarnación was lynched and mutilated during the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] April 5, 1957. 

== Catholics in Creeperopolis ==

{{main|Creeperian Catholic Church}}

[[Creeperopolis]] was and still is the [[Terraconserva|world's]] largest [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholic]] nation. In 1933, Creeperopolis had around 295 million [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]]. The [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] continued to have a large influence over [[Culture of Creeperopolis|Creeperian culture]] and Creeperian society.

== Origins ==

=== Anti-Catholicism and Anti-Monarchsim ===

[[File:Almanac La Traca 1933.jpg|thumb|right|Anti-Clerical and Anti-Catholic maganize cover published in 1933 in response to the start of the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. The magazine claimed that the [[Pope of Creeperopolis|Pope]] and Catholic clergy controlled the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]].]]

From the beginning of the [[First Parliament of Creeperopolis|First Parliamentary Era]] in 1565, the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] bagan to come under attack from [[Creeperans|Creeperian]] intellectual figures, mostly stemming from the [[Liberal Party (Creeperopolis)|Liberal Party]]. Liberals called for the restriction of Church influence on politics, culture, society, and public life. The Liberals achieved their ultimate goals of secularization of abolishing the near 500-year long [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|monarchy]] under the [[House of Martínez]], the establishment of the [[Republic of Creeperopolis]], and the abolishing the [[State of the Church (1258–1729)|State of the Church]] and exile of the [[Pope of Creeperopolis|Pope]] under the leadership of Liberal [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Minister]] and [[President of Creeperopolis|President]] [[Orlando Moreno Hidalgo]]. The abolition of the monarchy and esistence of the Republic was short-lived hoever as the [[Peoples' Revolution]] in September 1730 reestablished the monarchy and ended the Republic. Liberals continued to champion the destruction of the [[State of the Church (1258–1729)|State of the Church]] until July 4, 1771, when King [[Manuel III of Creeperopolis|Manuel III]] deposed the Parliament in the [[Revolution of Restoration]] and had all Liberals in Parliament hanged, including [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Minister]] [[Fernando Moreno Juderías]], a descendant of [[Orlando Moreno Hidalgo]]. 

Despite the efforts of [[Manuel III of Creeperopolis|Manuel III]] and [[Adolfo III of Creeperopolis|Adolfo III]] to erradicate all support for republicanism, secularism, Anti-Monarchism, and Anti-Catholicism, these ideas became commonplace throughout [[Creeperopolis]], especially in the final years of Adolfo III's reign as Emperor. The [[National Liberal Party (Creeperopolis)|National Liberal Party]] (the Partido Nacional Liberal or PLN) of the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis|Second Parliamentary Era]] named itself as the successor of the [[Liberal Party (Creeperopolis)|Liberal Party]] from the [[First Parliament of Creeperopolis|First Parliamentary Era]] and originated as an offshoot of the lingering republican and secular sentiments and it adopted light Anti-Catholicism and Anti-Monarchsim as two of its ideologies.

Other left-wing parties such as the [[Creeperian Socialist Party]] took a stronger stance on Anti-Catholicism and Anti-Monarchsim declaring that the complete abolition of the monarchy is the only way forward for [[Creeperopolis]]. Far-left parties such as the [[Creeperian Social Communist Party]] also called for the complete abolition of the monarchy but also the complete disestablishment of the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]]. The [[Creeperian Social Communist Party]]'s ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' engaged in the streets with the ''[[Falange Creeperiano]]'' and the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'' claiming that the paramilitary wings of the [[Catholic Royalist Party]] and the [[Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front]] sought to destroy secularism and impose a Catholic theocracy. During [[The Reigns of Terrors|the Reigns of Terrors]], the [[Atheist Red Army]] killed [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] as they were all seen as collaborators with the enemy.

The local [[Senvarian Protestantism|Protestant]] populations of [[Senvar (viceroyalty)|Senvar]] and [[Sonsatepan (viceroyalty)|Sonsatepan]] also despised the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] and the [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Monarchy]] as both institutions were seen as imperialists who [[1839 Annexation of Senvar|conquered]] the [[Kingdom of Senvar]] out of greed and national pride with no consideration for the [[Senvarians|local population]].

== Civil War ==

=== Segregation ===

[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-134-0791-29A, Polen, Ghetto Warschau, Ghettomauer.jpg|thumb|right|[[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] were segregated into "Catholic Zones" in Miguelist controlled major cities.]]

The [[Creeperian Civil War]] began [[San Salvador del Norte (city)|San Salvador del Norte]], [[San Salvador del Norte (viceroyalty)|San Salvador del Norte]], when [[Romerist Armed Forces|soldiers]] loyal to [[Romero I of Creeperopolis|Romero I]] and [[Miguelist Armed Forces|soldiers]] loyal to [[Miguel VII of Creeperopolis|Miguel VII]] [[San Salvador del Norte Incident|opened fire on each other]] at 7:25pm. The soldiers loyal to Miguel VII overran the soldiers loyal to Romero I and forced them to retreat the barrack. The soldiers loyal to Romero I took up positions one block from the barrack taking the city capitol turning it into their fortification. It remains a mystery who was the first to fire their rifle in the barrack.

At the onset of the civil war, senior Miguelist officials ordered the immediate segregation of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] in Miguelist territory to prevent any large scale uprising against the Miguelist government. All major cities under Miguelist control were segregated into a Catholic and non-Catholic zone. The non-Catholic zone, called the "Zona Libre" ("Free Zone"), was accessable to the outside and housed secular [[Creeperans]] and people of other religions which were not loyal to the [[Pope of Creeperopolis|Pope]]. The Catholic zone, called the "Zona Católico" ("Catholic Zone"), was closed off from the outside. People could not travel in or out of the zone without permission from city officials. Zones were divided by barbed wire fences and guard towers ensured no one tried to escape out or smuggle food or water in. All major cities were fit with Catholic zones, with notable examples being [[Adolfosburgo, Adolfosburgo|Adolfosburgo]], [[San Luís (city)|San Luís]], [[Denshire]], [[San Miguel, San Miguel|San Miguel]], [[La'Victoria]], [[Puerto Senvar]], and [[Port Sonsatepan]]. Whenever cities with large Catholic zones were nearing liberation, all Catholics in zones were deported to another city with another zone and the zone was destroyed to leave no evidence of their existence.

Groups of Catholic collaborators in the Catholic zones were organized into the ''[[Apostates for the Cause]]'', translated as "''Apostates for the Cause''" (APÓCA). Members of the APÓCA were tasked with spying on their fellow members of the Catholic zones to weed out escape attemps, popular revolts, or smuggling operations. APÓCA collaborators met mixed results with nearly half of the collaborators being caught and lynched for their apostasy from the faith and for collaborating with the enemy. Those who survived got to live out their lives in the Free Zone of the city they lived in after 3 years of service in the zones. Former members of the APÓCA were hunted down by the Creeperian government following the end of the [[Creeperian Civil War]] with those who were caught being publicly executed in the cities they served or being given to the angry crowds to beat to death. An estimated 3,000 people joined the APÓCA with the vast majority of survivors being brutaly murdered or executed following the civil war with few fleeing to countries like [[Terranihil]]. 

=== Establishment of the ESTARES ===

{{main|Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales|Red Terror (Creeperopolis)}}

[[File:Bundesarchiv Bild 146-1968-034-19A, Exekution von polnischen Geiseln.jpg|thumb|right|Execution of Catholic Zone smugglers in [[Adolfosburgo, Adolfosburgo|Adolfosburgo]] in 1934.]]

On April 15, 1933, the ''[[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales]]'', translated as the "''Special Task Squadrons''" (ESTARES), was initially formed to monitor security on the Catholic Zones of major cities with such zones. The general command was held by [[Supreme Caudillo]] [[Juan Salinas Figueroa]]. When the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] under orders of [[Supreme Caudillo]] [[Adolfo Cabañeras Morneo]] established the ''[[National Intelligence Directorate|Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional]]'', translated as the ''National Intelligence Directorate'' (DINA), a week later on April 26, 1933, the operations of the ESTERES expanded to secret police missions. With the support of the ''[[Apostates for the Cause]]'', the ESTARES conducted raids of suspected rebel leaders' homes in the Catholic Zones. 

With the news of atrocities being committed by the DINA under [[Adolfo Cabañeras Morneo]] in [[El Salvador]] during the [[Salvadoran Civil War]], most notably the [[El Mozote Massacre]] on January 13, 1934, The ''Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales'' began to shape itself into a group of secret police death squads. 

=== Mass Shootings and Burnings ===

The ESTARES would begin committing mass shootings of political opponents in 1934 and against [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] living in the countryside of Miguelist territory. Mass executions were common if someone was found to be publicly worshiping. Initially, priests were the primary targets of the ESTARES. [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] were ordered to renounce their faith at gunpoint or be executed for treason against the state. An estimated 200 people were killed each day by the ESTARES through mass executions and mass shootings. 

The [[Miguelist Army]] itself began being tasked with executing any priests or Catholics worshipping publicly. Churches were ordered to be burned to the ground, all statues were to be destroyed, and all art was to be confiscated to either be sold or destroyed. Churches across Miguelist territory were destroyed from 1934-1937 by which very few chuches remained. Cathedrals and Basilicas were ordered to have all art and statues removed and be repurposed to become barracks, factories, or prisons. The [[Adolfosburgo Cathedral]] was converted into an ammunition factory being labored by Catholic prisoners. The [[La'Victoria Cathedral]] in [[La'Victoria]], [[San Luís (viceroyalty)|San Luís]] was immediately burned down due to its high association with te [[Creeperian Crusade]]r victory at the [[Siege of Almadinat Almuqadasa]] in 1326. Around 2,300 Catholics were forced inside to [[La'Victoria Massacre|die in the flames of the cathedral]]. 

=== Concentration and Labor Camps ===

[[File:Einsatzgruppen or their auxiliaries - Kovno 1942.jpg|thumb|right|Execution of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] by the ESTARES in 1943.]]

After the [[Battle of Ciutat dels Àngels|fall]] of [[Ciutat dels Àngels|Ciudad de Granada]] in 1935 and the forced deportation of Catholics to [[Puerto Senvar]], the Miguelists decided to relocate several Catholics living in Catholic Zones in major cities to specialized prison camps to better ensure they are not being smuggled in food or water and to ensure they have a more difficult time escaping. Several prisoner of war camps were transformed into concentration and forced labor camps where Catholics were either worked to death or held in poor living conditions. 

On September 1, 1934, the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] established the [[Ministry for Public Safety (Miguelist)|Ministry for Public Safety]] which was to construct, operate, administer, and monitor the effectiveness of the concentration and labor camps being established. [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus|Pascual Ignacio Espinar Casaus]] was appointed to be [[Ministry for Public Safety (Miguelist)|Minister for Public Safety]] and he oversaw the construction, operation, administration, and monitored the camps' effectiveness. Under his direct orders, prisoners had to work from one hour before sunrise until midnight and would only be given two 30 minute breaks to eat poor quality bread and drink dirty water. Sleeping quarters were cramped with bunk beds being barely large enough to hold one person who was 6 feet tall.

Each prisoner was given two ration cards per day to use to eat. People caught using more than to per day were separated from their fellow prisoners and locked in solitary confinement for one week and only given one meal per day. Second time offenders were locked in solitary confinement for two weeks with one mean per two days. Third time offenders were beaten and hanged in front of their former prison barrack where their body would remain indefinitely. 

In the case of escape attempts, half of the barrack population where the would be escapees were from were removed from the barracks at night, were forced to dig their own mass grave, were doused in gasoline, and were set on fire by the gaurds. In the case of a successful escape attempt, the entire barrack was burned to the group in the middle of the night while the prisoners were sleeping inside. 

=== Move to Extermination Camps ===

[[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Emperor]] [[Miguel VII of Creeperopolis|Miguel VII]] met with several of his top political and military advisors in [[Adolfosburgo, Adolfosburgo|Adolfosburgo]] on August 15, 1935, in what was the [[Adolfosburgo Conference (1935)|Adolfosburgo Conference]]. He met with [[Supreme Caudillo]] [[Juan Salinas Figueroa]], [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]], [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Miguel Salinas Ortega]], and [[Creeperian Social Communist Party|Secretary-General]] [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] and the five discussed how the war effort should continue against the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] following their defeat in the [[Salvadoran Civil War]]. The five agreed that a new war, one against the [[State of the Church|State of the Church]], would be a good way to shatter Romerist morale.

They acknowledged that heavy resistance would be met by the [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] of the Papal State and that something had to be done about them to prevent any chances of resistance sabotage from behind the frontlines. The five men agreed that violence against the [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] was the only option to ensure no sabotage would be happening anywhere in Miguelist territory while the [[Papal War|Papal State is under attack]]. Groups of people were outlined as possible and definite threats to the Miguelist regime. These groups included people aligned with the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]], known as Romerists, Conservatives, lay [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]], clergy of the [[Creeperian Catholic Church]], ethnic [[Salvadorans]], [[Creeperian Fascism|Creeperian Fascists]], particularly members of the [[Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front]] and the [[Catholic Royalist Party]] and their paramilitary organizations known as the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'' and the ''[[Falange Creeperiano]]'', [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Creeperian Monarchists]], [[LGBT Rights in Creeperopolis|Homosexuals]], and potentionally [[1937 Deltinian rebellion|Deltinian Nationalists]] in the viceroyalties of [[Abdan (viceroyalty)|Abdan]], [[Helam (viceroyalty)|Helam]], and [[Jakiz (viceroyalty)|Jakiz]].

[[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]] suggested that transforming certain of the concentration camps and forced labor camps to extermination camps, camps with the sole purpose of extermination and killing groups of people, would be one of the most efficient ways to eliminate these groups. The five agreed and debated which camps would be transformed into extermination camps. After much debate, the five came to the agreement on six camps to transform from concentration camps into extermination camps. The camps they selected were [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]], [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]], and [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]] in [[San Luís (viceroyalty)|San Luís]], and [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]], [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio]], and [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] in [[Adolfosburgo (viceroyalty)|Adolfosburgo]]. [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] was selected to be the primary and largest of the extermination camps.

The program to exterminated all those who opposed the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] of whom with the National Council disagreed with was officially named "''La'De-Catolización de la'Patria de la'República Popular de Creeperópolis''", translated as the "''The De-Catholization of the Motherland of the People's Republic of Creeperopolis''." The Miguelists later officially stated that the program was to transform [[Creeperopolis]] into a secular state through peaceful and progressive means as a way to mislead the public as to the actual methods ''De-Catholization'' would be achieved. ''De-Catholization'' would be achieved through mass shootings, mass executions, mass murder, forced labor, and human experiments. [[Ministry for Public Safety (Miguelist)|Minister for Public Safety]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]] was placed in command of the ''De-Catholization''.

[[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]] handpicked each commandant for each extermination camp. He selected some of his most loyal lower ranking officers from his Army unit. Each officer he selected was promoted to [[Colonel (Creeperopolis)|Colonel]]. He selected [[Alonzo Martí Mina]] to be the commandant of [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]], the primary extermination camp. [[Diego Collazo Rodríguez]] was selected to be the commandant of [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]], [[Cristian Ordóñez Montreal]] the commandant of [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]], [[Justin Gisbert Zorita]] the commandant of [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio]], [[Guillermo Puig Elvira]] the commandant of [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]], and [[Lucho Obregón Tasis]] the commandant of [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]].

The victims were removed from either concentration camps or Catholic zones and were transported to one of the six extermination camps by train. Those from Catholic Zones initially were ordered to report for deportation but overtime were forcibly deported. The first trains with [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] expelled to Catholic Zones in [[Adolfosburgo (viceroyalty)|Adolfosburgo]] began departing from the [[Adolfosburgo, Adolfosburgo|city]] on Auguast 26, 1935. Called "trenes especiales" (special trains, abbreviated as "trenesp"), the trains had medium priority for the movement and would proceed to the mainline only after all military transports went through.

The trains consisted of sets of freight cars or cattle cars or both. The cars were packed with up to 200 deportees. No food or water was supplied throughout the trip. The boxcars were fitted with only a bucket as a restroom. A small barred window provided irregular ventilation, which oftentimes resulted in multiple deaths from either suffocation or exposure to the elements.

At times, the Miguelists did not have enough filled cars ready to start a major shipment of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]]  to the camps, so the victims were kept locked inside overnight at layover yards. The "trenes especiales" also waited for military trains to pass. An average transport took about four days. The longest transport of the [[Creeperian Civil War|civil war]], from [[Sonsatepan (viceroyalty)|Sonsatepan]], took 23 days. When the train arrived at the camp and the doors were opened, everyone was already dead.

The Miguelists repurposed six extermination camps in [[San Luís (viceroyalty)|San Luís]] and [[Adolfosburgo (viceroyalty)|Adolfosburgo]]. Each of the six camps were modified to support the rail transport of prisoners. They were also fitted with identical mass killing installations disguised as communal shower rooms. Gas vans, gas chambers, mass shootings, hangings, forced labor, starvation, and dehydration were used to kill victims in the camps. 

Once off the transports, the prisoners were split by category. The old, the young, the sick and the infirm were sometimes separated for immediate death by shooting, while the rest were prepared for the gas chambers. In a single day, 9,000 to 12,000 people would be killed at any one of these camps. 

==== Killing Methods ====

The Miguelists killed people during the ''De-Catholization'' through various methods. Groups such as the [[Miguelist Army]], ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'', or the ''[[Escuadrones de Tareas Especiales]]'' typically hanged their victims or executed them via firing squad. Meanwhile, concentration and extermination camps were outfitted with gas vans and gas chambers to quicken the extermination of Catholics. People were also starved, dehydrated, or worked to death.

=== Affected Groups ===

==== Creeperian Catholicism====

{{main|Martyrs of the Creeperian Civil War}}
{{see also|Creeperian Catholic Church}}

[[File:Miguel ProPointBlank.gif|thumb|right|[[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholic]] clergy were a common target of the ''De-Catholization''.]]

The [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] and adherants of [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholicism]] were the most affected groups of the ''De-Catholization''. Nearly 7 million [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] were [[Martyrs of the Creeperian Civil War|killed]] during the ''De-Catholization''. The [[Creeperian Catholic Church]] considered all [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] who died due to their faith at the hands of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] as martyrs for the faith. The official number of canonizations made by the Church stands at 53 while the official number of beatifications stands at 1,205, but the Church considers all of the nearly 7 million deaths as martyrs for the faith.

At the [[Adolfosburgo Conference (1935)|Adolfosburgo Conference]] of August 15, 1935, [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Emperor]] [[Miguel VII of Creeperopolis|Miguel VII]], [[Supreme Caudillo]] [[Juan Salinas Figueroa]], [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]], [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Miguel Salinas Ortega]], and [[Creeperian Social Communist Party|Secretary-General]] [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] acknowledged that heavy resistance would be met from the [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] when the [[State of the Church|State of the Church]] was planned to be invaded to initiate a [[Papal War|new front]]. As such, [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholicism]] became the number one enemy of the National Council. 

[[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]] handpicked each commandant for each extermination camp. He selected some of his most loyal lower ranking officers from his Army unit. Each officer he selected was promoted to [[Colonel (Creeperopolis)|Colonel]]. He selected [[Alonzo Martí Mina]] to be the commandant of [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]], the primary extermination camp. [[Diego Collazo Rodríguez]] was selected to be the commandant of [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]], [[Cristian Ordóñez Montreal]] the commandant of [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]], [[Justin Gisbert Zorita]] the commandant of [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio]], [[Guillermo Puig Elvira]] the commandant of [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]], and [[Lucho Obregón Tasis]] the commandant of [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]]. 

[[Creeperian Social Communist Party|Secretary-General]] [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] arranged plans to use his ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' to attack [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] in [[Xichútepa (viceroyalty)|Xichútepa]], one of the most conservative [[Viceroyalties of Creeperopolis|viceroyalties]]. His primary goal was to capture the city of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] but he also sought to destroy the [[Catholic Royalist Party]], destroy the ''[[Falange Creeperiano]]'', and kill former [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Minister]] and his greatest rival [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]]. The ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' would also carry out hit and run attacks on [[Zapatista]] and [[San Salvador, San Salvador|San Salvador]] to do the same thing to the [[Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front]], the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'', and [[Carlos Hernández Videla]].

==== Romerists ====

{{see|Romerism}}

The ''De-Catholization'' initially began as a fight against political opponents. Members of any of the parties of the [[Creeperian Social Coalition]] inclusing the [[National Conservative Party (Creeperopolis)|National Conservative Party]] (PCN), the [[Catholic Royalist Party]] (PRC), and the [[Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front]] (FPPC) were arrested and thrown into concentration camps. As the war continued, the focus shifted to [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]] but right-wingers continued to be targetted. 

Romerist [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Emperor]] [[Romero I of Creeperopolis|Romero I]] was killed in a large Miguelist artillery attack on July 6, 1946, during the [[Siege of San Salvador]]. He was succeeded by his son, [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]].

==== Salvadorans ====

{{see|Salvadorans}}

In the early years of the ''De-Catholization'', [[Salvadorans]] were seen as allies in the struggle against the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]]. The [[State of Granada]] was established as a Salvadoran-run Miguelist puppet state in [[El Salvador]]. However, after the Miguelist defeat in the [[Salvadoran Civil War]], [[Salvadorans]] became targets of Miguelist oppression. former [[Salvadorans]] in Miguelist positions of authority were arrested or executed for their ethnicity. The [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua extermination camp]] held the most [[Salvadorans]] of the six extermination camps.

==== Homosexuals ====

{{main|LGBT Rights in Creeperopolis}}

[[File:Orlando Pareja Palau.jpg|thumb|left|Professor [[Orlando Pareja Palau]] is a fierce opponent to the inclusion of Deltinians and Homosexuals to the death toll of the ''De-Catholization''.]]

Around 100,000 gay men were arrested by the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] from 1933 to 1949. It is not known how many died but most historians agree around 80 to 90 percent died. Tens of thousands were castrated, sometimes "voluntarily" to avoid criminal sentences. Homes belonging to homosexuals were burned and their property was destroyed to "cleanse" the planet.

The Creeperian government officially includes the figure of 90,000 deaths to the total number of deaths during the ''De-Catholization''. However, some scholars and historians disagree. The most notable opponent of including homosexuals in the death toll of the ''De-Catholization'' is [[Orlando Pareja Palau]], a professor from [[Antonio José Sáenz Heredia University]]. He argues that homosexuals are subhumans and should not be included in something called the "''De-Catholization''." He also argues that homosexuals are not worthy enough to be included in any tragic fatality statistic.{{citation needed}}

==== Deltinians ====

{{Islam}}

{{main|1937 Deltinian rebellion}}

On May 5, 1937, Deltinian Muslim peasants in the viceroyalties of [[Abdan (viceroyalty)|Abdan]], [[Helam (viceroyalty)|Helam]], and [[Jakiz (viceroyalty)|Jakiz]] [[1937 Deltinian rebellion|revolted against the rule]] of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. The Deltinian peasants were lead by [[Muammar al-Koroma]]. The peasants demanded total independence from the Imperial and National Councils for Abdan, Helam, and Jakiz, and called for support and aid from [[Greater Sacramento]]. The government declined to send direct aid but offered the Deltinians asylum in accordance with the [[1853 Sacramatian Asylum Act]]. Before the Deltinians could accept the offer, National Council soldiers under General [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]] massacred 3,139 to 328,000 Deltinians, effectively suppressing the revolt on May 17, 1937.

Following the Miguelist massacre of Deltinians, [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Máximo Barrueco Morterero]] launched an [[Southern Offensive of 1937-1938|offensive]] into the viceroyalties of [[Abdan (viceroyalty)|Abdan]], [[Helam (viceroyalty)|Helam]], and [[Jakiz (viceroyalty)|Jakiz]] in order to "liberate" the Deltinians from atheist hands in August 1937. From August 1937 until January 1938, the Imperial Council made minimal gains. The offensive was forced to be cancelled in February 1938 due to a lack of supplies to continue the offensive. The Imperial Council fortified the frontline which had been established.

The Creeperian government officially includes the figure of 328,000 deaths to the total number of deaths during the ''De-Catholization''. However, some scholars and historians disagree. The most notable opponent of including the [[Deltinians]] in the death toll of the ''De-Catholization'' is [[Orlando Pareja Palau]], a professor from [[Antonio José Sáenz Heredia University]]. He argues that the [[Deltinians]] are not [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Catholics]] and should not be included in something called the "''De-Catholization''." He also argues that the Deltinians are of a lesser race and a lesser [[Deltinian Islam|religion]] and are not worthy enough to be included in any tragic fatality statistic.{{citation needed}}

[[File:Surrender of Red Soldiers, Somosierra, Madrid - Google Art Project.jpg|right|thumb|Surrendered Miguelist soldiers being lead to a mass execution site, 1941.]]
[[File:Cristero-leaders-and-their-banner.jpg|thumb|right|[[Crusaders of King Alfonso|Cristeros]] holding an early war Cristero banner.]]
[[File:Spanish Civil War - Mass grave - Estépar, Burgos.jpg|thumb|right|Exhumed mass grave of 26 ESTARES soldiers killed by the Cristeros in the 1940s.]]

[[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]] was the primary mastermid of the "[[White Terror (Creeperopolis)|White Crusade]]," also called the [[White Terror (Creeperopolis)|White Terror]], lead by the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] against the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. He is infamous for ordering hundreds of massacres against civilians and prisoners of war, most notable the [[El Mozote Massacre]] and the [[El Congo Massacre]]. Millions are estimated to have been murdered under his orders. 

Aside from Cabañeras Moreno, others such as [[Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno]] and [[Adolfo Rivera López]] also committed many massacres and atrocities. The [[Militarist Nationalist Front]], which was lead by [[Adolfo Rivera López]], was responsible for many massacres. The death squad openly declared that it kills those who it saw as inferior, particularly Deltinians, Communists, and Atheists. The death squad was responsible for the deadliest massacre during the civil war: the [[Denshire Massacre]] of 1944 where 25,000 [[Deltinians]] were slaughtered.

During [[The Dark Years (Creeperopolis)|the Dark Years]], massacres, genocide, ethnocide, and crimes against humanity were widespread. Cabañeras Moreno himself personally ordered the killings of Senvarian and Sonsatepanian soldiers during the [[Papal War]] from 1939-1944. The [[Huizúcar Massacre]] was the first massacre which openly targeted Senvarian civilians which occurred on the Senvar-[[Zapatista (viceroyalty)|Zapatista]] border in 1940. The massacre claimed 2,300 civilian lives. 

The [[Huizúcar Massacre]] was responded to by the [[Talnique Massacre]] where the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] executed 729 Creeperian prisoners of war and 211 civilians. Each side [[List of Massacres during the Creeperian Civil War|committed massacres back and forth]] claiming to “retaliate” and “take revenge” for the previous massacre. Almost all of the massacres committed by both sides were ordered to be committed directly from commanding authorities. Cabañeras Moreno himself is responsible for and ordered at least 100 massacres and, at the maximum, up to over 400 massacres, by far the most of any commanding general of either side and even more than [[Adolfo Rivera López]], the commander of the death squad [[Militarist Nationalist Front|Sombra Negra]]. Despite the massacres he committed, Cabañeras Moreno has continued to be seen by the Creeperian population as a war hero for the Romerist cause during the [[Creeperian Civil War]].

Around April 1933, with the [[Miguelist Armed Forces]] and the National Council gaining considerable ground, a group of Catholic civilian farmers formed. The armed civilian militia, called the [[Crusaders of King Alfonso]], declared allegiance with the Romerist Restoration Council. The group upheld the ideologies of [[Romerism]] and demanded that [[National Catholicism]] be instituted across [[Creeperopolis]]. The FCPC was lead by [[Enrique Figueroa Guerrero]] until his capture and execution in 1943 by the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' afterwhich he was succeeded by [[Alexander Sánchez Molina]] who survived the war. 

The Restoration Council immediately accepted the aid of the group, who nicknamed themselves "Cristeros." In response, the National Council declared a no-quarter on all captured Cristeros, opting to hang captured Cristeros from telephone polls across [[Creeperopolis]].

The Cristeros claimed to be composed of 3,000 farmers fighting for [[Jesus|Jesus Crhist]] at the onset of the war. By the end of the war, the Cristeros were composed of nearly 15,000 Creeperian civilians fighting against the National Council. The majority of resistance operations conducted within  Miguelist territory was conducted by the Cristeros.

Another resistance militia which formed was the death squad known as the [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] but is also called the Sombra Negra ans is commmonly abbreviated as FREMANI or SN. [[Adolfo Rivera López]] was a poor Creeperian farmer living in the countryside of [[Santa Ana (viceroyalty)|Santa Ana]]. In 1940, the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] raided his farm and killed his mother and father as a part of the ''De-Catholizaiton'' while he and his younger brother, [[Enrique Rivera López]], were buying supplies for the farm in the city of [[Santa Ana (city)|Santa Ana]]. He was filled with anger at hearing the news and he wished to see the deaths of all [[Senvarians]] in revenge for his parents' deaths. He and his brother established the Militarist Nationalist Front, and the sole goal of the group was to kill as many [[Senvarians]] as possible. Rivera López also targeted [[National Council for Peace and Order|communists]] and [[Deltinians]].

Despite the [[Crusaders of King Alfonso]] being formed in similar conditions, the Cristeros were formed to fight communism, establish [[National Catholicism]], and protect Creeperian farmers. The [[Militarist Nationalist Front]], on the other hand, was established for the sole purpose of genocide and ethnocide but it did oppose the ''De-Catholization''.

The [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] quickly gained members amassing around 1,000 members by 1941. The group began to capture and kill [[Senvarians|Senvarian civilians]] in [[Santa Ana (viceroyalty)|Santa Ana]] and [[Senvar (viceroyalty)|Senvar]]. These killings brought the death squad to the immediate attention to the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] who saw the [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] as a direct threat to [[Senvarians|Senvarian]] sovereignty. 

The [[Militarist Nationalist Front]], abbreviated as FRENAMI, became known as the "Sombra Negra" ("Black Shadow") in the mid-1940s due to their black banner and their guerrilla tactics of hiding in the jungle in all black uniforms, waiting to attack unsuspecting victims.

On May 9, 1944, [[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]] was on his way to a generals’ meeting near [[La’Libertad (city)|La’Libertad]] regarding the [[Second Battle of La'Libertad]] when he was [[Assassination of Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno|assassinated]] by members of the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' disguised as photographers who threw and anti-tank grenade at his car. The grenade killed [[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno|Cabañeras Moreno]], the driver, and [[Kingdom of Castilliano|Castillianan]] [[Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Field Marshal]] [[Luís Sánchez Cerro]] instantly. The two assassins were injured and knocked over by the grenade. Both were killed on site by the military escort.

[[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]]’s death was a major blow to Romerist morale and brought the [[Papal War]] to a temporary stalemate. His brother, [[Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno]], was appointed as [[Minister of Defense (Creeperopolis)|Minister of Defense]] and he would continue the [[Papal War]] in the south. 

In retaliation for the assassination of [[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]], on June 13, 1944, soldiers of the [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] stormed the city of [[Denshire]]. Immediately, stores, homes, and public spaces were raided, looted, and burned by the soldiers. People were rounded up and inspected to determine their ethnicity and religion. If an individual was found to be a [[Creeperans|Creeperian]] or a [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Catholic]], the individual was released back into wherever they were captured. However, if an individual was found to be a [[Deltinians|Deltinian]] or a [[Deltinian Islam|Muslim]], they were placed into a truck and driven outside the city to be killed by a firing squad. Escapees were shot immediately and towards the end of the day, Deltinians and Muslims were killed immediately upon being identified to increase the death toll. 

Initially, the soldiers forced the rounded up [[Deltinians]] to dig their own graves to be executed in, but as the morning went on and more and more captives were rounded up, the [[Deltinians]] were simply killed and their bodies were left on the ground. Executions initially took place in a wooded area outside the city. By noon, the executions were proformed on roadsides or just outside the city. By the mid-afternoon, the killings took place in the city itself, horrifying civilian witnesses to the massacre. 

Some civilians attempted to shelter and protect [[Deltinians]] rightfully fearing for their lives. [[Deltinians]] were taken into homes and hidden behind bookshelves, under beds, in attics, in basements, and on rooftops. Many civilians attempted to assist the Deltinians. At first, civilians who hid and sheltered Deltinians were released free, but as the massacre progessed and more and more [[Deltinians]] were found hiding in homes, a no-quarter was initaited where all people caught hiding [[Deltinians]] were to be burned alive in their homes.

[[File:Francisco Sánchez, uno de los líderes del movimiento campesino, después de ser fusilado en la plaza principal de Juayúa.jpg|thumb|right|[[National Coffee and Sugar Corporation|CORNACA]] CEO [[Francisco Sánchez Vizcarra]] was executed during the [[Denshire Massacre]] for sheltering 132 [[Deltinians]] in his mansion.]]

The most infamous case of a Creeperian civilian sheltering and protecting Deltinan civilians is of [[Francisco Sánchez Vizcarra]]. Sánchez Vizcarra was a wealthy businessman and the then CEO of the [[National Coffee and Sugar Corporation]]. Sánchez Vizcarra had a second mansion in [[Denshire]] which he purchased before the outbreak of the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. When civil war errupted, he was forced to essentially abandon his mansion in Denshire as it fell under the control of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. When [[Battle of Denshire (1943)|Denshire was liberated in 1943]] by the Imperial Council, he returned to rebuild the mansion and cater to the civilians of the city with his vast amounts of wealth. Sánchez Vizcarra was loved by the people of [[Denshire]], and when the massacre began, many [[Deltinians]] flocked to his mansion in hopes of surviving. He hid a total of 132 Deltinians in his mansion during the massacre. However, he was caught by the soldiers of Sombra Negra and condemend to die in the fire of his mansion along with the 132 Deltinians hiding inside. He attempted to bribe the soldiers ₡245 million [[Creeperian Dollar|dollars]]{{efn|name=dollars|The [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] used the [[Creeperian Dollar]].

The soldiers refused the bribe. Instead, he bribed the soldiers the same amount to take him and the prisoners outside of [[Denshire]] and to the nearby village of [[Juayúa]] to be executed there and be properly buried instead of being burned alive or have thier bodies left in the steets. The soldiers agreed and Francisco Sánchez Vizcarra and the 132 Deltinians were executed and buried in the village of [[Juayúa]]. His mansion was subsequently looted by the Sombra Negra.

Throughout the massacre, thousands of women were raped by soldiers and left to die. Men who resisted were hanged by Sombra Negra soldiers on lampposts in the city. Children younger than the age of seven were forcibly conscripted and forced to kill their fellow Deltinians during the massacre. If the children refused, they were killed. If the children complied, they were abducted by the Sombra Negra following the massacre and forced to be child soldiers. 

At sunset, mosques were lit ablaze, soldiers conducted their final killings, and the Sombra Negra withdrew from the city with an estimated 200 abducted children into the Creeperian countryside, killing more Deltinians during the withdrawl and march out of the city. By the time the massacre was over, 25,000 lay dead in the streets. The slaughter of 25,000 in the city of [[Denshire]] became to be known as the infamous [[Denshire Massacre]] and the Denshire Genocide. 

[[File:Piaśnica execution.jpg|thumb|right|Execution of suspected Communists by Romerists in 1939.]]

The [[Denshire Massacre]] had nothing to do with the war against ''De-Catholization'' but the Creeperian government officially designates the massacre as a battle against [[Deltinians|Deltinian]] insurgents seeking to further the atrocities of the ''De-Catholization''.

The paramilitary wings of the [[Catholic Royalist Party]], known as the ''[[Falange Creeperiano]]'', and the [[Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front]], known as the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'', also resisted the ''De-Catholization'' through means of terrorism or through direct battle.

On May 4, 1940, the [[Miguelist Air Force]] began bombing the city of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. The following day, May 5, 1940, an army of 150,000 men of the [[Miguelist Army]] arrived at [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] and began attacking the city. The Miguelists pierced deep into Romerist territory with the goal of capturing the city. The attack was personally commanded by [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]], one of the men Sáenz Heredia ordered the death of during the [[Crisis of 1928]]. Handel Carpio sought to take revenge on [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]], the then [[Mayor of Nuevo Xichútepa]], and publicy behead him and his entire family like the ''[[Creeperian Phalanx|Falange Creeperiano]]'' did to his family back on March 1, 1928. 

Sáenz Heredia requested immediate support from the [[Romerist Army]] units stationed in [[Salvador, Salvador|Salvador]] to assist his garrison of only 17,000 men. From May 5, 1940, to May 17, 1940, Sáenz Heredia's garrison stood strong against the army of 150,000 attacking the city. On May 18, 95,000 reinforcements from [[Salvador, Salvador|Salvador]] arrived to relieve the initial garrison. The [[Romerist Air Force]] also arrived and fought off the [[Miguelist Air Force]] which had been harassing the civilians of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. 

The battle dragged through June and July until, on July 12, 1940, a convoy just south of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] with [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] aboard was bombed by the [[Romerist Air Force]]. The [[Romerist Army]] arrived at the site to recover any weapons and supplies that would be useful to the garrison when they discovered [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] still alive in the wreckage. He was immediately arrested and brought back to [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. Sáenz Heredia spoke harshly to Handel Carpio when he first came into contact with him on July 13, 1940. Sáenz Heredia announced that Handel Carpio had been captured and ordered the immediate surrender of all Miguelist forces in the viceroyalty of [[Xichútepa (viceroyalty)|Xichútepa]]. The soldiers refused and continued to fight in an attempt to rescue Handel Carpio. The [[Miguelist Air Force]] ended all bombing of the city since they did not want to accidentally kill Handel Carpio by mistake.

[[File:Camioneta Llena De Cadaveres en Juayua, 1932.jpg|thumb|right|Dead bodies after the [[Juayua Massacre]].]]

On August 23, 1940, the fourth anniversary of the [[Triumvurate Massacre of 1936|Triumvurate Massacre]] and during the [[Battle of Nuevo Xichútepa]], [[Mayor of Nuevo Xichútepa]] [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]] had [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] nailed to a cross in the shape of the [[Cross of Creeperopolis]] and was crucified and burned alive in front of the capitol building of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. His scorced corpse was left where it was following the execution. After the execution of [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] was made known, the Miguelists withdrew from the city of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] on August 25, 1940, resulting in a decisive victory for the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] in the [[Battle of Nuevo Xichútepa]]. He then ordered the immediate executions of Miguelist prisoners of war by firing squads on August 30, 1940. The brutality of Sáenz Heredia during the battle earned him the nickname of "Warlord Mayor of Nuevo Xichútepa" by his supporters and detractors alike.'

On January 22, 1942, the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'' under [[Carlos Hernández Videla]] marched into the village of [[Juayua]] in [[Zapatista]] and destroyed the entire village. Around 390 to 410 people were murdered in retaliation for the lynching of a ''[[Camisas Negras]]'' member ten days earlier. The village was burned in the ensuing [[Juayua Massacre]]. Other massacres would be committed by the ''[[Camisas Negras]]'' such as the [[Second Opico Massacre]], the [[First Marcovia Massacre|First]], [[Second Marcovia Massacre|Second]], and [[Third Marcovia Massacre]]s.

Several historians have called the resistance by the Romerists as the [[White Terror (Creeperopolis)|White Terror]] in contrast to the Miguelist [[Red Terror (Creeperopolis)|Red Terror]].

=== Liberation ===

[[File:Dachau execution coalyard 1945-04-29.jpg|thumb|right|Exection of 94 [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelist]] soldiers at the [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza extermination camp]] by the [[Romerist Army]].]]
[[File:Killed SS Cammo Dachau.jpg|thumb|right|Executed members of the ''[[Elite Medical Detachment]]'' at the [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan extermination camp]].]]

The first extermination camp to be encountered and discovered by the [[Romerist Army]] was [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]]. The camp was discovered by the advancing [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council|Romerists]], along with its two gas chambers, on August 3, 1949. Many [[Miguelist Army]] soldiers had not yet evactued the camp and attempted to flee. The [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council|Romerists]] arrested 12 [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelist]] officers and 94 [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelist]] soldiers. The 250,000 surviviors told all the horros and conditions they had been put through. Torture, forced labor, poor quality food, dirty water, cramped living conditions, no showers, long days of work, and abuse by guards and soldiers. The soldiers then opened the gas chambers and found Chloropicrin was being used to gas hundreds of prisoners at a time. [[General (Creeperopolis)|General]] [[José Primo Jalisco]] ordered the immediate hanging of all 12 officers and the execution of the 94 soldiers by firing squad. The discovery was reported to [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Emperor]] [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]] and [[Minister of Defense (Creeperopolis)|Minister of Defense]] [[Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno]].

[[Minister of Defense (Creeperopolis)|Minister of Defense]] [[Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno]] instituted a no-quarter of all [[National Council for Peace and Order|Miguelist]] officers, guards, or soldiers, no matter their rank, at any and all extermination camps discovered. The [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua extermination camp]] was liberated on August 15, 1949. The camp was mostly abandoned with only 7 soldiers being found. All were hanged. Commandant [[Diego Collazo Rodríguez]] was found dead in his quarters after he committed suicide by hanging himself. The 500,000 survivors were freed.

[[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]] was liberated only two days later on August 17, 1949. Many soldiers and officers failed to flee in time and were captured by the [[Romerist Army]]. The 210 soldiers were all executed by firing squad the day of the liberation. The 23 officers, including [[Sechakan Extermination Camp|Sechakan]] commandant [[Lucho Obregón Tasis]] and escaped [[Quetgoza Extermination Camp|Quetgoza]] commandant [[Guillermo Puig Elvira]], were all hanged. The two days before liberation, 40,000 prisoners were killed with the remaining 50,000 being planned on being killed in the days to come since the officers expected the Army to delay at [[Joyagua Extermination Camp|Joyagua]]. The 50,000 surviviors were freed. 

[[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]] was liberated on September 2, 1949. No soldiers or officers were found at the camp as the camp was abandoned three days prior. Thousands of prisoners were massacred but 10,000 survived. In the three days before liberation, the 10,000 prisoners raided the kitchens and ate an adequate ammount of food for the first time in years. Prison walls were torn down. The two gas chambers were burned to the ground by the prisoners and abandonded Miguelist flags and banners were burned. Paperwork, files, and documents were wisely preserved. The prisoner takeover of the camp was lead by [[Sergio Secada Morillo]], a former politician and member of the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis|Parliament]] as a member of the [[National Conservative Party (Creeperopolis)|National Conservative Party]]. 

The Army marched towards where their intelligence said another camp in the process of being abandoned was. The [[Romerist Army]] surrounded the [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa extermination camp]] on September 6, 1949. The soldiers and officers surrendered. The day the camp was liberated, 538 soldiers were executed by firing squad. The Army let the prisoners be the ones executing the soldiers as a form of vengance. Among the captured were [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] commandant [[Alonzo Martí Mina]] and escaped [[Jucuaguel Extermination Camp|Jucuaguel]] commandant [[Cristian Ordóñez Montreal]]. On September 7, 1949, the 52 officers were all hanged while [[Cristian Ordóñez Montreal]] and [[Alonzo Martí Mina]] were beheaded. Three of the four gas chambers were burned by the Miguelists the day before liberation.

On September 19, 1949, the prisoners of [[Mafrerio Extermination Camp|Mafrerio extermination camp]] revolted against the Miguelists. The revolt suceeded and camp commandant [[Justin Gisbert Zorita]] was mutilated by the prisoners. Another 21 officers and 68 soldiers were beaten to death. The remaining officers and soldiers abandoned the camp and fled into the countryside. The following day, the [[Romerist Army]] arrived and liberated the camp. The 240,000 surviviors were set free.

==== San Salvador Trials ====

{{main|San Salvador Trials}}

''Imperio de Creeperópolis v. Marcos Martínez Castro, Miguel Salinas Ortega, José Bolívar Aguirre, y Mariano Alcocer Fraga'', commonly called the [[San Salvador Trials]] ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]: Juicios de San Salvador), was the most significant series of trials in Creeperian history. Overseen by the [[Imperial Court of Justice]], the [[San Salvador Trials]] were held from October 4, 1949, until December 24, 1949. 

The [[San Salvador Trials]] tried the four most senior leaders of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] from the [[Creeperian Civil War]]: [[Marcos I of Creeperopolis|Marcos Martínez Castro]], [[Miguel Salinas Ortega]], [[José Bolívar Aguirre]], and [[Mariano Alcocer Fraga]], all of whom were captured during the [[Battle of the Zapatista River]], the final battle of the [[Creeperian Civil War]].

The victorious [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] established the [[Imperial Court of Justice]] to try the leaders of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] on October 4, 1949. Seven judges were appointed and each of the seven charges presented had its own prosecutor. There were four defendants and they did not have lawyers.

Emperor [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]], Minister of Defense [[Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno]], Chief Mayor [[Máximo Illescas Freixa]], Mayor [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]], Mayor [[Ramón Serrano Suñer]], Field Marshal [[Carlos Castillo Armas]], and Field Marshal [[Uxio Aponte Avellaneda]]. Sources have claimed the court was a kangaroo court.{{citation needed}}

*[[Ricardo Klement Encarnación]], a DEMÉDÉL officer who was the [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] camp doctor on from 1936 to 1949, was lynched and mutilated during the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] April 5, 1957. 
*[[Pascual Espinar Casaus]], the former [[Ministry for Public Safety (Miguelist)|Minister for Public Safety]] from 1934 to 1949 and leader of [[Partisan Resistance (Creeperopolis)|Miguelist partisans]] following the [[Creeperian Civil War|civil war]] from 1949 to 1953, was beheaded by the [[15th Creeperian Army]] on August 14, 1953.
*On February 23, 1934, the [[Romerist Army]] captured and arrested two former [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Ministers of Creeperopolis]]: [[Serafín Velázquez Andrade]], an independent with left-wing sympathies, and [[Jorge Meléndez Ramírez]], a member of the [[Creeperian Socialist Party]]. Both former [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Ministers]] supported the National Council in the initial divide of the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis|Parliament]]. [[Supreme Caudillo]] [[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]] and former [[Prime Minister of Creeperopolis|Prime Minister]] [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]] ordered their execution. Velázquez Andrade and Meléndez Ramírez were [[1934 assassinations of Creeperian prime ministers|executed]] on March 1, 1934. The two had nothing to do with the ''De-Catholization'' but were posthumously blamed of coordinating actions of the genocide in 1951.
*On August 23, 1940, the fourth anniversary of the [[Triumvurate Massacre of 1936]] and during the [[Battle of Nuevo Xichútepa]], [[Mayor of Nuevo Xichútepa]] [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]] had [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] nailed to a cross in the shape of the [[Cross of Creeperopolis]] and was crucified and burned alive in front of the capitol building of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. His scorced corpse was left where it was following the execution and it still remains there today.<ref name="Cayetano Handel Carpio"></ref> After the execution of [[Cayetano Handel Carpio]] was made known, the Miguelists withdrew from the city of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] on August 25, 1940, resulting in a decisive victory for the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] in the [[Battle of Nuevo Xichútepa]]. He then ordered the immediate executions of Miguelist prisoners of war by firing squads on August 30, 1940. The brutality of Sáenz Heredia during the battle earned him the nickname of "Warlord Mayor of Nuevo Xichútepa" by his supporters and detractors alike.
*On August 23, 1936, the Triumvurate of the [[Catholic Royalist Party]] consisting of [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]], [[Alfonso García Valdecasas]], and [[Julio Alda Miqueleiz]], was holding a rally in the city of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. The Triumvurate was giving a speech about pro-Romerist and anti-Miguelist rhetoric, openly calling for the beheading of [[Miguel VII of Creeperopolis|Miguel VII]] and [[Juan Salinas Figueroa]], Miguel VII's second-in-command. Sixteen armed men from the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' made their way behind the Triumvurate and waited for their moment to strike. The sixteen men had a transcript of the speech and had planned when in the speech they would strike and assassinate the Triumvurate which the [[Creeperian Social Communist Party]] had been fighting since 1901. The sixteen men from the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' opened fire on the Triumvurate and on anyone present on stage yelling "May death rain upon the followers of Romero the Fascist!" The ''[[Creeperian Phalanx|Falange Creeperiano]]'' immediately responed by opening fire back towards the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]''. Civilians at the rally fled in panic and soldiers garrisoned in the city were put on high alert. The firefight lasted 21 minutes and ended with thirteen of the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' and seventeen of the ''[[Creeperian Phalanx|Falange Creeperiano]]'' killed. The three surviving men of the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]'' were captured and taken as prisoners. [[Antonio Sáenz Heredia]], [[Alfonso García Valdecasas]], and [[Julio Alda Miqueleiz]] were quickly rushed to the nearest hospital in the city. Anti-air units were deployed near the hospital and the hospital was surrounded and defended by members of the ''[[Creeperian Phalanx|Falange Creeperiano]]'' and [[Creeperian Army]]. [[Alfonso García Valdecasas]] and [[Julio Alda Miqueleiz]] were pronounced dead on arrival to the hospital but Antonio Sáenz Heredia remained alive, but barely. He underwent three surgeries to remove bullets from his body. After three months in hospital on November 11, 1936, Sáenz Heredia appeared at the site of the massacre and gave a speech. The speech he gave was what he was saying when he was attacked by the ''[[Atheist Red Army]]''. "May death rain upon the followers of Miguel the Communist!" Sáenz Heredia ordered the torture of the three surviving men from the assassination attempt. The men were tortured for one year from November 12, 1936, until August 23, 1937. On August 23, 1937, Sáenz Heredia had the three men publicy crucified on crosses in the shape of the [[Cross of Creeperopolis]] in front of the capitol building of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]]. The three men were crucified and burned alive, and their bodies were left scorched infront of the capitol for nearly three years until the corpses were destroyed during the Miguelist bombing of [[Nuevo Xichútepa]] in May 1940.
*[[Antonio Gisbert Alcabú]], the [[President of Creeperopolis|President-in-Exile]] from February 19, 2020, to June 17, 2020, was publicly executed by a firing squad of ''[[Cruzadore II]]'' main battle tanks on June 18, 2020, after being found guilty of 110 charges following [[Operation Banana]] the day prior. One of his charges was ''De-Catholization'' denial.

=== Reparations ===

The Creeperian government confiscated all property and belongings of everyone who was but on trial or put to death without a trial. Their possessions were given to survivors of the ''De-Catholization'' with the intention to give them basic living essentials to get them on their feet after the atrocities and inhumane living conditions they had experienced. Atheists were [[Anti-Atheism in Creeperopolis|executed]] in order to free up homes for survivors. Many people, both innocent and guilty, "paid with their lives" as reparations for the crimes of the ''De-Catholization''.

=== Escapees from Justice ===

{{main|Partisan Resistance (Creeperopolis)}}

Many high ranking National Council officials escaped justice from trials, legal or vigilante. Those who did either escaped to [[Terranihil]], such as [[General (Creeperopolis)|General]] [[Ricardo Rosales Román]], or joined the [[Partisan Resistance (Creeperopolis)]] from 1949 to 1957. The majority of the Miguelist partisans were commanded by [[Pascual Espinar Casaus]], the former [[Ministry for Public Safety (Miguelist)|Minister for Public Safety]] from 1934 to 1949. Although Espinar Casaus was captured and beheaded by the [[15th Creeperian Army]] on August 14, 1953, the Miguelist loyalists continued to fight until 1957. Most leaders of the ''De-Catholization'' were killed in the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] on April 5, 1957, by the [[15th Creeperian Army]]. [[Ricardo Klement Encarnación]], a DEMÉDÉL officer who was the [[Teguracoa Extermination Camp|Teguracoa]] camp doctor on from 1936 to 1949, was lynched and mutilated during the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] April 5, 1957.

=== Operation Genesis 19:24–25 ===

{{main|Operation Genesis 19:24–25}}

[[File:Operation Genesis 19:24–25.png|thumb|right|Logo of the [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]].]]
[[File:Massacre of the 7000.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] was the largest mass-execution of the [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]].]]

The [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]] is a legal initiative which outlines the process of trial and imprisonment or execution of those who partook in, supports, supported, denies, denied, questions, or questioned the ''De-Catholization''. The [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]] was passed unanimously by the [[Council of Mayors of Creeperopolis|Council of Mayors]] by a margin of 6,123 for, 0 abstain, 0 against, and 0 absent, on July 6, 1950. [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Emperor]] [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]] approved the passage of the initiative later that day.

The ''[[National Intelligence Directorate]]'' (DINA), the secret police of [[Creeperopolis]], was placed in charge of overseeing operations of the initiative and was in charge of the initiative's general administration. The ''[[National Intelligence Directorate]]'' organized the [[Creeperian Army]] and the [[Creeperian Imperial Guard]] from the [[Creeperian Armed Forces]] to participate in the [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]]. The civilian police viceroyalties of the [[Creeperian Imperial Police]], the [[Salvadoran National Police]], and the [[National Police of the Papal State]] also participated in the [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]]. 

As a direct result of the passage of the [[Operation Genesis 19:24–25]], denial, commendation, and questioning of the ''De-Catholization'' were made illegal in [[Creeperopolis]]. Denying, commending, and questioning the ''De-Catholization'' are punishable by the [[Capital punishment in Creeperopolis|death penalty]]. The most notable execution based on the basis of ''De-Catholization'' denial, commendation, or questioning is the [[Massacre of the Seven Thousand]] on April 5, 1957, by the [[15th Creeperian Army]] in [[Salasate]], [[Abdan (viceroyalty)|Abdan]]. 

Since July 6, 1950, several methods of execution have been used included: 

*Beheadings

=== Anti-Atheism ===

{{Romerism sidebar}}
{{main|Anti-Atheism in Creeperopolis}}

[[Anti-Atheism in Creeperopolis|Anti-Atheism]] is an enforced policy in [[Creeperopolis]]. Creeperian Anti-Atheism is an ideology and a political movement against Atheism, as a theory and more specifically as it presented itself during the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis]] (1887-1933/1949) and the [[Creeperian Civil War]] (1933-1949). Organized Anti-Atheism developed properly during the [[Creeperian Civil War]] with rise of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. Anti-Atheism was one of the core elements of [[Romerism]] and the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]].

The first organization which was specifically dedicated to opposing Atheism was the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] which fought in the [[Creeperian Civil War]] starting in 1933 against the recently established [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. The Romerist movement was militarily supported by several allied foreign governments which represented the first instance of Anti-Atheism as a government policy in [[Creeperopolis]]. The Romerists defeated the Miguelists and Creeperopolis was stabilized in 1949. Following the civil war, the [[Creeperian Initiative]] was established with Anti-Atheism as one of its core ideologies.

The [[Creeperopolis|Creeperian Government]] continues to impose Anti-Atheist policies. Practicing Atheism is punishable by [[Capital punishment in Creeperopolis|death]].

== Rememberance ==

{{see|Culture in Creeperopolis|Romerist Symbolism}}

Many memorials have been constructed through both public and private funding to commemorate the ''De-Catholization'' and the [[Creeperian Civil War]], the Romerists, and the Martyrs who died in the war. The [[Creeperian Civil War]] heavily influenced [[Culture in Creeperopolis|Creeperian culture]] and pushed for a renewal in [[Creeperopolis]]' Catholic spirit, a second "Renaissance" like the one seen after the conclusion of the [[Creeperian Crusade]] in 1345.

The most notable ''De-Catholization'' and [[Creeperian Civil War]] memorial is the [[Monumento del Salvador del Mundo y la'Humanidad]], "The Savior of the World and Humanity" in Lyoan. The war memorial was built in 1968 as a commemoration to the millions of Romerists who gave their life for [[Creeperopolis]]. Another memorial is the [[Valley of the Fallen]]. The monument was inaugurated on September 30, 1959, and Emperor [[Romero II of Creeperopolis|Romero II]] claimed that the monument was meant to be a "national act of atonement" and reconciliation following the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. It serves as the burial place of several [[Monarchy of Creeperopolis|Kings and Emperors]] of [[Creeperopolis]] who were exhumed from their former burial sites.
