Seth,
I both note and commend your willingness to acknowledge the fact that perhaps your initial post was somewhat harsh. However, there are still issues to be resolved
I did not say that the church was very corrupt, merely that reform was needed. Due to its very nature, the church can never escape corruption, something that very few of you critics realise
The only reason that you can dub the Infernals with the title of "honourable" is beacause they cannot be pigeonholed into one organisation.
Thus, although there are an equal number of dishonourable, ego-driven idiots on each side, the "churchies" are always targetted, simply because they are an easy target. If a member of the church, or Oakstone, to draw parallel, performs a heinous act, the whole organisation is blamed. However, with those outside of the church, there is no target, no central power to discredit, and this is why church members will always be seen in a far harsher light than other Achaeans, simply because so much is expected of them.

There are a few solutions to this: a) A complete purge of the church members not worthy of being there b) that the rest of Achaea opens its eyes to the fact that no institution can be perfect. c)Create a rival organisation, so that we can be seen on equal footing, allowing fair comparison
