Re: Appointment of Confessors
Just a point about appointments based on some planets being more at "risk" of heresy; in MotJ, it states the Church treads very lightly on Leagueheim so other planets like pre-Li Halan conquest Rampart might also have very little influence of the Church. I can also imagine many of the chur...
