Dead Saints

The Dead Saints Chapter, or Dead Saints Society, is an ultra-secretive group that functions within the Roman Catholic Church. The Dead Saints originally started out as an extremist group within the Ghosts of Catholicism chapter, however they were expelled from the GoC due to their extreme views and activites. Today the Dead Saints function as a small Chapter, normally found in the Vatican and in select areas of importance to Catholics. 
Status: Diminished. 
== Facts: ==
-Named after the bones under the Petrine Hill within the Vatican, the Dead Saints vow to see the Roman Church restored to its lost glory and honor. 
-Dead Saints scour the supernatural community for anything that will give them the power to 'beat back' Protestantism and restore the global Catholic people to their lost numbers and influence. 
-Most Dead Saints are staunch Theocrats who wish to see a global political system that resembles medieval Europe, a system of nation-states overseen by the Pope in Rome.
-The Order of Priests, who are the Adepts most attached to the Catholic Church, share many goals with the Dead Saints, and assuredly there are many Priests functioning within the ranks of the Chapter as well.
-Dead Saints are hostile to those they see as attacking their beloved Church. 
-Dead Saints have ingratiated themselves into the old guard of European power and culture. They have people in the European Union, in the local governments of the states, and abroad in dioceses and monasteries important to the Catholic Church. 
-Dead Saints often communicate in code, using Latin accents or variations unknown to anyone but them. 
-Considering the Catholic Church's history and vast reservoir of Holy Relics and knowledge, the Dead Saints can prove a stronger opponent that one would expect.
-The membership hemorrage that has been afflicting the Catholic Church for upwards half a century has severely limited the recruitment rate of the Dead Saints. While the DS is still active, they are limited to only the strongholds of the Catholic people.
