Pre-Papal Life
[edit]Pope Sextus XIV began his religious life as Fr. Justin Vermillion, being ordained in January of 2000. Shortly after his ordination, Fr. Vermillion was approached by the Cardinals of the Sagamore line, offering him a position as Bishop of the Indiana area. After his appointment as Bishop in 2001, Fr. Vermillion was given the title of Monseigneur by then-pope Pius V.
Msr. Vermillion was raised to the rank of Cardinal by Papal Order in the summer of 2002. Under this title, Cardinal Vermillion governed over the Midwest, until November of 2002, when he was appointed chamberlain under Pius V.
Upon the death of Pius V in January 2003, Cardinal Vermillion was elected his successor by the Board of Cardinals, with 502 votes out of a possible 534. He assumed his role as Supreme Pontiff on 2 February 2003.
