I would want to be the Catholic Monarch of Egypt :(

I know I might sound like a troll, but I wanted to share this vision with you: I would want to become the Catholic Monarch of Egypt. My first acts would be to rename the nation the Holy Egyptian Empire and establish a dual capital in Alexandria and Heliopolis. I would restore the historical 42 nomes, the Roman duchies, and all ancient bishoprics, allowing modern cities to fade so that historic dioceses and territorial Christian communities can flourish.

To revive our heritage, the restoration of the Coptic language, the construction of cathedrals, and the promotion of the 'Route of the Holy Family' would be prioritized. This would include establishing new monasteries and military orders. The goal is to return Alexandria and the Egyptian Desert to their former glory as centers of faith.

Ecclesiastically, the reunification of the Coptic Orthodox and Catholic Churches would be sought. By liberalizing religion, the door would open for the evangelization of the population and the implementation of policies to encourage Christian demographics. In the Sinai, a Hebrew Catholic Church would be established for specific outreach in the region.

Ultimately, Egypt would serve as a strategic base to evangelize all of Africa under the Alexandrian Rite. This vision includes the creation or restoration of the Berber, Nubian, Dinka, Congolese, Songhai, Malian, Chadic, and Wolof Catholic Churches. These are merely examples of a broader mission to establish specific Catholic churches for every single ethnic group and nation across the African continent.

I would love to make all of this a reality. :(
