From the beginning I always found the Church of Light very strange, they are very authoritarian and extreme in their doctrine, but many in high positions commit horrible acts with terrible excuses.
But I really don't know what to do about this, I remember Athena saying that her sister led her troops to defeat an Evil God and they used a city as cannon fodder, even the false Hero they created was a sacrifice and I saved him Hinata.
In addition to their extreme behaviors, there were also people like that Archbishop who enslaved Irius and Irina, not to mention what Baldr himself did to someone close to becoming his Saint, Vanessa.
"(I always found them strange, for those who proclaim so much about justice, their acts are always full of cruelty and without a hint of mercy.)" (I)
"(So if he had an explosion in the number of troops that alerted even the Gods, they came from somewhere.)" (I)
