I didn't mean to derail the thread into a Christianity thread . I just meant that people are followed even if a group of old rich men don't like it. Religion is full of unlikely circumstances that led to crazy outcomes. Everyone seems intent on applying logic to the situation....but is that appropriate with religion? SA seemed more rational than a lot of real and BM religions, but it is still a faith-framework built on belief.
That is part of why I RP'd the peasants following the church regardless of 50 or 60 nobles. How many worshippers does SA have? If you imagine a percentage of total worshippers (character and peasant), how much do you think would give a fig about the charter? Is there one mention of the peasantry in there? Why would they care? The church treated them as cattle....do the cattle really notice shift-change at the slaughter house?
Probably because even in RL history there is scant evidence of 90% of the "lower" faithful going against the hierarchy. If the charter is a significant part of the faith, you better believe they would give a fig about it, since there would be rites/sermons whatever that enshrine its importance to the faithful.
The upheaval of the founding of the Church of England is the closest thing I can think of to what should probably be occurring within SA right now. The difference being so far as I can work out Jonsu has none of the power or support that the King of England needed to force that down the faithful's throats.
