In this magical world, the word "saintess" couldn't be just used casually.
This was a generation of divine authority. Pure holiness was something that belonged only to the Gods.
In that case, only women beloved by the Gods would be allowed to have the title of "saintess". Only the True God Churches' chosen women would have this title.
How pure they really were didn't actually matter. What mattered was that they would represent their chosen church. Basically, they were important spokespersons for their churches.
Most of these saintesses would be young and beautiful. They were typically orphans that the church had raised. Most of them were also priestesses at the same time. While some saintesses would have noble status, most of them wouldn't, as having too high of a status would make it inconvenient for them to be paraded around.
Being a saintess wasn't something all that special.
