The Last Chaplin of the Guard - Duilio Arnþór Jankovic


Duilio Arnþór Jankovic was the last Chaplin of the Guard in the Kingdom of Whitmount before the Durey Revolution. He was unique in that he was one of only 3 people who survived the revolution, insomuch as they were not executed by radicals or exiled by the official government. Born in poverty in Ngethångus in 1864, he escaped an abusive father to become a priest at the Perttu Cathedral in Ditutu in 1875. After only 3 years, he had shown such knowledge and profound understanding of Scripture that he was appointed Chaplin of the Guard by the Frail King. Although his duties were minimal (as Whitmount hadn’t been in a war since The Kronor War in 1835-6), this gave him time to focus on himself, and his role within Catholicism. It was at this time, around 4 years later, that he started studying other forms of Christianity and its role in politics. In 1884, two years before the Durey Revolution, he published A Discourse with God on the Subject of Love and Politics, an essay in the form of a conversation between his brother, Bartolomé Jankovic, and the Angle Gabriel, as so not to cause controversy by having him talk to God directly. After the revolution, many people saw this document as a reason for the adoption of Agapism as the official religion of the nation, instead of Catholicism.
