Many in the theological community still haven't reacted.
When the golden dome of the church in Holy Seat City collapsed with a roar, the so-called "heresy remarks" they made no longer had demon hunters from the Inquisition coming to knock on their doors.
A massive vacuum appeared above the theological community of the empire.
If the Church is correct, why would the Pope be driven to despair and commit suicide? Why would Holy Seat City fall while the Saint Master remained indifferent?
The monks continued to live and think as they always had, bowing their heads, refusing to gaze at the vacuum.
However, there were still brave souls, like Livingston and Swenson, who dared to lift their heads, ready to reform the original Church.
It is called reform, yet it is also a rebound after the Church suppressed thought for three hundred years.
On the Holy Tree in Eden, the forbidden fruit once banned by the Church hung bright before the priests, ready for the picking.
