	During the early news of the Teus papacy, aggressive measures were taken to attempt to spread the religion to Siovanija. Pope Dominik's Crusade in 1288 marked the first attempt to spread religion by force, as peasants were armed by the Imperial Teus Army and sponsored by the Church to wage war in Siovanija. That first Crusade was quite a success, as the Teus sacked the cities of Chernovets and Siovanska Gora, as well as establishing a fort at the city of Pomorie. In later years, other crusades would follow. These include the St. Gustaf's Crusade, Pope Georg's Crusade, the Fourth and Fifth Crusades, and the aptly-named Last Crusade. For the papacy, these crusades served as an easy source of income, while for the imperial government, it was a way to wage war against Siovanija without actually sending in troops.

	After the [[Three Years' War]] (1414-1417) which saw the Teus Empire conquer Siovanija and incorporate it into the imperial territories, great efforts were made by the Catholic Church to spread their beliefs in the new territory. This included sending government-sponsored missionaries, as well as providing financial support for religious orders such as the Order of St. Gustaf in the city of Pomorie/Marzig. After the Teus Empire became a colonial power, however, the focus gradually shifted. The Siovanijans had been mostly unwilling to accept the new religion, owing to them seeing it as a Teus institution as well as deep-seeded cultural ties to their own pagan beliefs. The Church began sending missionaries to the colonies such as Sankt Konrad and Prinz-Eugens-Land. While they were not very successful in ~~Sankt Konrad,~~ Prinz-Eugens-Land was a different story, where ~~many groups of~~ local ~~tribes~~ converted en masse to Catholicism.

	Today, the Catholic Church of Teusland still exists, and is still an important institution in the nation. Officially, the Church is responsible for Catholics in Teusland, Siovanija, Sankt Konrad and Prinz-Eugens-Land, and maintains a presence in all of these through Churches and other buildings. The most famous Church in the country is Sankt Georg's Cathedral in Stelburg. Other well-known sites include the Church of St. Gustaf in Marzig, Sankt Adelheid's Cathedral in Felsenkirchen (constructed from parts of various naval vessels) and Sankt Jakob's Cathedral in St. Jakob. The College of Teus Cardinals still exists and is responsible for electing the Pope. The current Pope is Pope Sylvester I, the Archbishop of Stelburg, and Sankt Georg's Cathedral is the headquarters of the Church.

	The Siovanijan Old Beliefs are a widely-followed cultural practice in Siovanija, dating back to the pre-historic days. Various Gods are worshipped, however, the most important are the trio of Boruv (God of the Sky), Zlatna (Goddess of Land) and Gora (God of Mountains). Other Gods include Vlaiko (God of Water) and Slaya (Goddess of Forests). Each God or Goddess has a day dedicated to them, where Siovanijans will go to the temple and leave gifts relating to that particular God's patronage. For example, on the Feast of Zlatna, flowers are often given as a gift, while on the Feast of Gora, a rock from the nearest mountain is the traditional offering. Various place names are related to the Gods, for example the city of Vlaikograd which is located on a large lake. There is no organized leadership of the religion at a national level, however, each temple has a collection of priests dedicated to religious study. A poll of Siovanijans revealed that a vast majority do not believe in the Gods, but see it as an important cultural practice and for many a large part of Siovanijan identity.
