    “Your Majesty, I am your good servant, but the Lord’s first.”Cardinal Piuso to His Royal Majesty, the King of Lithmore

    “We have nothing to fear should we place our trust in the Lord. Even though death itself may take us, our souls shall fly with perfect peace to the Lord whose Grace we so desire.”Cardinal Piuso expounding on confidence in Faith

    “The Order is not a place for the proud or haughty, it is for the humblest of men.  Our work is not an exercise in punishment or pain, but in love and the promotion of holiness.  Our goals are not the riches of this world, nor of titles or honors, nor pleasures of the flesh or mind, but in the eternal holiness and virtue for which we have been consecrated.  Should we ever lose sight of these true and good goals, we risk our very souls and the blessing of the Lord which legitimatizes our work, without it, we shall fade away as but another forgotten group who desired to serve Truth, but bent to the corruptions and shadows of this dark Urth.”Cardinal Piuso on the virtues needed by clergy

    “Anger is a powerful emotion, and one of the darkest within us.” you nods, “It has driven men to do horrible things, to pervert religion, love, everything good in this Urth. Yet, it is also that which comes most naturally to us, that is its danger. It is a lifelong struggle to fight it, but fight it we must. Pray to the Lord of the Springs, for charity and mercy are the greatest enemies of anger. They cool it, contain it, and in the end, they defeat it. He shall help you, you need but ask.” — Cardinal Piuso on the sin of anger

    “Lies and empty threats. You can take much from us, even life, but never can you steal from us our souls. St. Celeste intercede for me, martyrship shall be prefered to submission to your iniquity. For then, only then, would you truly have victory… and victory you shall never have.” … “We shall have peace once the price of sin has been paid. The Church does the will of God. It is you who rebel against the divine law. Fly back to the love of grace, lest you be deprived of it forever.” – Cardinal Piuso to a sorcerous shadow projection

    “And we, His Church, are meant to echo Him upon this Urth. The Lord is compassionate, kind, humble, forgiving, merciful, charitable. He gives consolation in sorrow, eases burden in hardship, gives drink in thirst, light in shadow, shelter in storm. These indeed are the missions of the Church. We are not judges to dispense punishment, but kind hands to give healing.” – Cardinal Piuso on the Church
