Autonomous Pytharnian Arathracian Church
The Autonomous Pytharnian Arathracian Church existed during the twenty fifth and twenty sixth centuries. The Church was headed by its own Sunfather who was also the Archpatriarch of Trevirs. The Concordat of Ddwbha (2457) obliged in very diplomatic language that the Erechórebese Arathracian Church not interfere with the Pytharnian Church. The Concordat was brought about due to heavy pressure by the then ruling Medibgóëse Empire which held sway over the nations of the Pallathantic. The consequence was that the Pytharnian Church recognized the authority of the Erechórebese Sunfather in principal but in practice exercised complete autonomy with regard to doctrine and ecclesiastical appointments.
The modern schism was further fueled by the medieval schism and teachings of Saint Bamdringot the Pure who promulgated the Bambdringotine Principle in the early eleventh century. Additionally, during the Middle Ages of Chaos, contacts with the central authority of the church were impossible and the Pytharnian Church like many other places in the world was obliged to operate autonomously.
Sometime in the twenty sixth century, the two churches were reconciled with the Archpatriarch of Trevirs acknowledging the primacy and supremacy of Erechórebese Sunfather. However, the Aigmeadhs of Pytharnia were given more direct control over the appointments of archpatriarchs and patriarchs within the sub-continent.
Heretics continue today to adhere to the notion of the autonomy of the Pytharnian Church, especially in Trevirs.
