So The Ishguardian Orthodox Church and Thordin VII are but another example to the eternal constant in the Final Fantasy Multiverse that Churches are misguided at best to outright evil at worst.
Yeah, I forgot about the Sanctum in XIII... but then again, I never quite finished that one.

Makes me wonder why that is. Perhaps Shinto wasn't organized like the Catholic church is, and it seems weird to Japanese developers so they make all the churches corrupt in JRPGs? /confused
